  • Network streaming system for providing a user with data defining imagecontent at a resolution that may be determined by the user
    Publication number: 20030174243
    Abstract: A user having a certain channel-bandwidth access to an interactive digital network, such as the internet, uploads control data to an allotted multiresolution data processor of a server system that downloads, to the user image content (e.g., a motion picture requested by the user) data, which may be statistically compressed. While the server system supplies the requested content as an input to the multiresolution data processor in uncompressed form at highest, spatial, temporal and color resolutions, the multiresolution data processor calculates the downloading bit rate and reduced spatial, temporal and/or color resolutions of the downloaded content in accordance with the uploaded control data from the user that defines the user's channel bandwidth and may also define the user's desired lower spatial, temporal and/or color resolutions.
