METHOD FOR REQUESTING AND VIEWING AN ATTACHMENT IMAGE ON A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for viewing a full image of a server stored original attachment on a portable electronic device comprising:
- building a graph structure within said server representing a map of said original image;
downloading and displaying a re-sized image from said server to said portable electronic device, said original image exceeding an image size limit of said portable electronic device indicative of screen size of said portable electronic device;
calculating width and height parameters of said full image;
sending a request from the portable electronic device to the server to enlarge the image displayed on said device based on said width and height parameters, said request including said image size limit;
retrieving and traversing said graph structure within the server to locate any corresponding image component for said original image and, upon locating said corresponding image component iterating through attributes of the image component to determine if a separate image component has been constructed for said image size limit;
in the event that said separate image component has not been constructed then collecting image binary data from said original image within said server, constructing a new image component from said binary data and caching said new image component as an attribute of the original image in said graph structure;
collecting further image binary data from one of either said new image component or said separate image component and modifying said further binary data based on said width and height parameters to create said full image of said original image;
and downloading said full image of said original image to said portable electronic device.

Abstract
A method for viewing a full image of a server stored original attachment on a portable electronic device including: building a graph structure within the server representing a map of the original image, downloading and displaying a re-sized image from the server to the portable electronic device, the original image exceeding an image size limit of the portable electronic device indicative of screen size of the portable electronic device, calculating width and height parameters of the full image, sending a request from the portable electronic device to the server to enlarge the image displayed on the device based on the width and height parameters, the request including the image size limit, retrieving and traversing the graph structure within the server to locate a separate image component constructed for the image size limit, collecting image binary data from the separate image component and modifying the image binary data based on the width and height parameters to create the full image of the original image and downloading the full image of the original image to the portable electronic device.
