IMAGE ACQUISITION FROM DYNAMIC CONTENT FOR DELIVERY TO NETWORK-ENABLED STATIC DISPLAY DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for rendering a static image from a dynamic content presentation in a web page defined in HTML on a static display device comprisingreceiving an instruction to provide the static image embedded in the dynamic content presentation, wherein the instruction includes a location identifier of the dynamic content presentation;
- retrieving the dynamic content presentation over a network from a location indicated by the location identifier in the instruction;
parsing the dynamic content presentation to determine a direct location identifier for the embedded static image; and
transmitting the direct location identifier to the static display device.

Abstract
An image service uses a uniform resource locator (URL) or other location identifier to retrieve static images embedded in dynamic content presentations from the Internet. The image service uses a set of imaging parameters to extract one or more static images embedded in the dynamic content presentation that can be consumed by the static display device. URLs to existing web pages are entered into a configuration interface on the image service. The image service parses the web pages, identifies a direct location identifier for the embedded image, and passes the direct location identifier to the static display device for direct retrieval of the embedded image. In another implementation, the image service dynamically pulls the selected embedded images from the identified web sites, and downloads the static image files for display on the static display device.
