Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a terminal device, a system for providing picture and a method for transmitting picture and pertains to the field of network communications technologies. The method comprises: obtaining a URL of a picture to be transmitted according to a picture request initiated by a terminal device; determining the picture quality value of the picture to be transmitted according to the state of the network where the terminal device is located; determining the maximum resolution value of the picture to be transmitted according to the state of the network where the terminal device is located and the resolution value supported by the terminal device; sending the URL of the picture to be transmitted, the picture quality value of the picture to be transmitted and the maximum resolution value of the picture to be transmitted to a picture bed server; receiving the returned picture which had been processed by the picture bed server according to these parameters, and displaying it on the terminal device. Under the premise of not affecting the experience of viewing a picture by a user, the technical solution of the present disclosure realizes the beneficial effects of reducing the transmission size of the picture, increasing the transmission speed of the picture, and at the same time guaranteeing the picture quality as much as possible.

/or, determine the pixel value of the maximum picture height according to the state of the network where the terminal device is located and the pixel value of the height of the resolution supported by the terminal device.

3. The terminal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the integrated processing unit is further configured to set the picture quality value of the picture to be transmitted to be higher, when the transmission capability of the network where the terminal device is located is higher.

4. The terminal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the integrated processing unit is further configured to set the maximum resolution value of the picture to be transmitted to be higher when the transmission capability of the network where the terminal device is located and the resolution value of the terminal device are higher.

5. The terminal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the picture to be transmitted is a picture stored in the picture bed server, and the URL of the picture to be transmitted is a URL of a storage location of the picture in the picture bed server;

or

the picture to be transmitted is a picture stored in an original picture server, and the URL of the picture to be transmitted is a URL of a storage location of the picture in the original picture server.

6. The terminal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the transceiving unit is further configured to splice the URL, the picture quality value and the maximum resolution value of the picture to be transmitted in a specified way into a URL by which the picture bed server processes a picture and send it to the picture bed server.

7. The terminal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the transceiving unit is further configured to send the splicing way of splicing the URL by which the picture bed server processes a picture to the picture bed server, such that the picture bed server can parse the received URL.
