<p>An image delivery and display system embodying a technique for displaying on a client computer of a client-server network a portion of an image stored on the server. Upon receiving a request from the client computer specifying particular x, y coordinates, the server decompresses the image to extract the area of interest, partitions the image area into tiles and extracts the tile containing the x, y coordinates and a certain number of surrounding tiles, recompresses those tiles and transmits those tiles to the client computer. The tile containing the x, y coordinates is extracted, recompressed and transmitted first followed by the surrounding tiles in spiral order. The client computer then decompresses and displays the tiles in that same order. <IMAGE></p> |
