CONTENT-AWARE ENERGY SAVINGS FOR WEB BROWSING UTILIZING SELECTIVE LOADING PRIORITY

A mobile device, computer readable medium, and method are provided for web browsing that reduces a power consumption of the mobile device. The method includes the steps of receiving a markup language document that includes a plurality of elements; assigning each element in the plurality of elements a priority value according to a set of rules; and selectively loading rendered content corresponding to the plurality of elements into a window of an application executed by the mobile device based on the priority value assigned to each element in the plurality of elements. The set of rules includes at least two rules configured to assign two or more priority values to at least two subsets of elements in the plurality of elements. Selective loading may refer to loading elements of a web page in a different order compared to a default order of a rendering engine of the web browser.
