Claims
- 1. A method of transmitting non-textual data, comprising:
uploading the size of a remote monitor to a host; calculating a display size for the non-textual data on the remote monitor; producing information capable of rendering the non-textual data at a plurality of resolutions for the calculated size; transmitting the information; rendering the non-textual data at a resolution based on the amount of received information.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the information includes wavelet coefficients.
- 3. A method of transmitting a data sequence over a network, comprising:
uploading the parameters of a remote output device to a host; selecting wavelet coefficients of the data sequence for transmission according to the uploaded parameters; and progressively transmitting coefficients until the parameters of the output device are met.
- 4. The method of claim 3 additionally comprising the step of transmitting additional coefficients when the size of the remote window is increased.
- 5. The method of claim 3 wherein the data sequence includes one of a one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional images, music, speech, and video sequences.
- 6. The method of claim 5 wherein the data sequence includes a three-dimensional image, said method additionally comprising the step of decomposing the three-dimensional image into a plurality of wavelet coefficients of two-dimensional perspectives.
- 7. The method of claim 3 additionally comprising the steps of examining the importance of coefficients and selecting for transmission the most important coefficients based on the resolution of the remote window.
- 8. The method of claim 3 wherein the coefficients are capable of adapting to arbitrary remote window dimensions.
- 9. The method of claim 3 additionally comprising the step of progressively receiving the transmitted coefficients and reconstructing the data sequence.
- 10. The method of claim 9 additionally comprising the step of recording the indices of the coefficients.
- 11. The method of claim 10 wherein said step of recording includes the step of recording at both the host and remote sites.
