Visual database system
First Claim
1. A visual database system for storing and transmitting visual data such as at least moving images and still images, said system comprising:
- at least one visual data input device which inputs the visual data;
a visual database device which receives and stores the visual data input by said visual data input device; and
at least one visual data output device which receives the visual data at a predetermined resolution from said visual database device, and displays and prints the visual data, wherein said visual database device divides the visual data into a plurality of block screens, appends a first address to each of the division block screens, then further divides the block screens identified by the first addresses, appends a second address to each of the division block screens, and thereafter repeats the division and appending of addresses for a predetermined number of times, said visual database device expresses the visual data as addresses and image data of a divided image represented by the addresses and stores the address; and
said visual database device creates the visual data for output in accordance with a resolution of said visual data output device and transmits the created data to said visual data output device.

Abstract
The visual database system comprises at least one visual data input device for inputting visual data, a visual database system device for storing the visual data, and at least one visual data output device for receiving the visual data from the visual database system device at a predetermined resolution, and displaying and printing the visual data and the visual database system device obtains a divided state by dividing the input visual data into multiple block screens, expresses the visual data as addresses and image data represented by addresses, saves these, and creates and transmits visual data for output in accordance with a resolution requested by the visual data output device.

15. A visual database system for storing visual data, comprising a visual format in which the amount of data changes according to the amount of change of an image, in a memory medium wherein a memory position changes over time, and reading the visual data from said memory medium as required,
wherein time codes are appended to one or a plurality of visual data when stored in said memory medium; - and
when the visual data is reproduced from said memory medium, the time codes are read while extracting the visual data from its memory position, and the reproduction speed of said memory medium is changed so that the visual data is reproduced in correspondence with changes over actual time.
