IMPROVED RECOGNITION OF A PRE-DEFINED REGION ON A TRANSMITTED IMAGE

摘要

A method to display an image comprising the steps of: partitioning an image into a series of row, column partitions; locating at least one focus point on the image; displaying a first partition in the region defined by at least one focus point; and displaying successive partitions in a substantially spiral pattern around the first partition. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a method to create an image for subsequent display comprising the steps of: partitioning an image into a series of row, column partitions; locating at least one focus point on the image; and reordering the partitions so that a first partition in the region defined by at least one focus point is displayed first and partitions that form a spiral pattern around the first partition are displayed subsequently therefrom. Compression algorithms and profile compression may be applied to the reordered partitions. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, an information processing system and computer readable medium is disclosed for carrying out the above method. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a method to create a video image for subsequent display comprising the steps of: selecting a first area on an image, defining a second area on the image where the second area does not include the first area; transmitting the first area a rate higher of transmission higher than the rate of transmission for the second area.
