System and method for graphical element selection for region of interest compression
First Claim
1. A method of graphical element selection for region of interest compression, comprising:
- determining a region of interest on a page;
identifying a graphical element on the page;
associating the identified graphical element with the region of interest based on the position of the graphical element on the page relative to the region of interest;
generating a graphical element tag based on the association wherein the graphical element tag is included in a region of interest enhanced page description; and
compressing the page based on the region of interest enhanced page description using a regionally variable compression algorithm.

Abstract
Systems and methods for graphical element selection with region of interest compression. The method includes determining a region of interest on a page and identifying a graphical element on the page. The method further includes associating the identified graphical element with the region of interest based on the position of the graphical element on the page relative to the region of interest and then generating a graphical element tag based on the association, wherein the graphical element tag is included in a region of interest enhanced page description. Finally the method includes compressing the page based on the region of interest enhanced page description using a regionally variable compression algorithm. In other configurations, methods of the invention are implemented by computer executable code stored to a computer readable media.
