FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: anticipated request for obtaining an image is predicted based on a range of factors, including user and/or user workstation image selection prehistory. The anticipated presentation of the video data file is also predicted. The video data file which corresponds to the anticipated request for obtaining an image and has the anticipated presentation is then determined, copied and stored in the optimum region of local memory. When the user workstation generates the anticipated request for obtaining an image, the workstation is provided with the corresponding video data file stored in the optimum region of local memory.
EFFECT: shorter latency period when selecting images.
