Communications system and method
First Claim
1. A communication terminal, comprising:
- a display device configured to display an image on the display device according to image display parameters;
a processor to process the image data; and
a communication interface to transmit or receive data, the communication interface configured to be coupled to a remote image processing device via a network, wherein the communication terminal transmits the display parameters to the remote image processing device to commence an image data communication operation between the communication terminal and the remote image processing device, wherein the communication terminal receives first image data of a first image from the remote image processing device after the display parameters has been transmitted to the remote image processing device, the first image being a modified version of a first original image, and wherein the first image is modified according to the display parameters provided to the remote image processing device by the communication terminal.

Abstract
A communication terminal includes a display device configured to display an image on the display device according to image display parameters; a processor to process the images data; and a communication interface to transmit or receive data, the communication interface configured to be coupled to a remote image processing device via a network. Unnecessary data is prevented from being transmitted, and it becomes possible to reduce processing loads on the terminals to thereby display only the focused image data section in a shared fashion between the terminals during the communication. When a communication is conducted in real time, it can be explicitly indicated on what section of image data a user of a terminal which is to transmit the image data and a user of a terminal which is to receive the image data are to focus each other'"'"'s attention during the communication.

14. A communication terminal, comprising:
-
a display device configured to display an image on the display device according to image first display parameters;
a processor to process the image data; and
a communication interface to transmit or receive data, the communication interface configured to be coupled to a remote handheld communication terminal via a network, wherein the communication terminal receives second display parameters from the handheld communication terminal, the second display information providing information on resolution and size of an image that the handheld communication terminal is configured to display on a display area of the handheld communication terminal, wherein the communication terminal generates a first image from an original image according to the second display parameters received from the handheld communication terminal, the first image being represented by first images data, and wherein the first image data are transmitted to the handheld communication terminal.

15. A method for operating a communication terminal having a display device and a processor, the method comprising:
-
transmitting display parameters of the display device to the remote image processing device to commence an image data communication operation between the communication terminal and the remote image processing device; and
receiving at the communication terminal first image data of a first image from the remote image processing device after the display parameters has been transmitted to the remote image processing device, the first image being a modified version of a first original image, wherein the first image is modified according to the display parameters provided to the remote image processing device by the communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
