IMAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, CLIENT TERMINAL AND CONTROL METHOD Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC H04N7/173 G06K9/36 

FIELD: physics; communication.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to image distribution system, distributing image data from a server through a network, to a client terminal and a method of controlling the distribution. If the client changes the size of the image window during display of image data, distributed from the server to the image window of the client terminal, client terminal notifies the server of new size of the image window. The server changes the size of the image data such that, the image has the same size as the window on the client terminal, and sends the client terminal image data with the altered size. This way, there can be no need for processing the change in size at the client terminal.

EFFECT: possibility of redistribution of computational load between a client terminal and a server.
