  • Method and apparatus for retrieving and converting remotely stored non-standard graphic images and storing the converted images in a database
    Patent number: 6901400
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process enabling users to retrieve and view remotely stored proprietary images in a standard graphics image format (i.e., JPEG, TIFF, GIF, etc.) without using the legacy system in which the images are stored. Converting the non-standard image file to a standard graphics image file format affords the user with a greater choice in image viewing software since a standard image file format is more likely to be widely implemented, while the non-standard image file format is proprietary and unlikely to be supported by a wide variety of image viewing software.
