Method and system for optimizing the display of a subject of interest in a digital image
First Claim
1. An automatic method for viewing on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity, a subject of interest previously selected in an original still digital image, said method comprising the following steps:
- a) operate a request of the original image, from the terminal with low display capacity;
b) automatically determine the limits, in the original image, of an area in which the selected subject of interest is enclosed;
c) automatically save the pixel data characterizing the area of the subject of interest;
d) automatically determine, according to the display capacity of the terminal with low display capacity from which the request is operated, an optimal framing format of the area of the subject of interest;
e) automatically display on the screen of the terminal with low display capacity, the optimized modified image corresponding to the framing area determined in step d).

Abstract
The present invention is in the field of digital imaging. It relates to a method and a system for selecting a subject of interest in a digital image, so as to be able to then display this subject of interest on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity. The present invention enables the display directly and automatically on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity, of subjects of interest, previously selected in an original image. This is done based on a simple operation or request executed from the terminal with low display capacity. This enables the image to be exploited correctly, by viewing the subjects of interest of the original image, in the best possible conditions of image rendering, given the display capacity of said terminal). The application of the present invention is in the area of the users of terminals with low display capacity.

3. A system to view a subject of interest in an original still digital image on the screen of a terminal with low display capacity, characterized in that it comprises:
-
a) at least one terminal having a screen with low display capacity;
b) devices intercommunicating and enabling the display and saving of the original digital image;
c) an interface device linked to the terminal having a screen with low display capacity, said interface device enabling the communication by a specific link of image digital data between said terminal and said devices enabling the display and saving of the original image;
d) a software program enabling, based on a request operated from the terminal with low display capacity, the automatic display of an optimized modified image corresponding to an optimized framing area of the subject of interest of the original image on the screen of said terminal.
