System and method for adaptive formatting of image information for efficient delivery and presentation
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request that includes a request for delivery of image information to a networked device and session information pertaining to a current communication session between the networked device and a server, the session information being separate from the request for delivery of image information;
determining, by at least one server within a network, based on an image delivery parameter and an image presentation parameter associated with the networked device, an image format for the image information for delivery of the image information to the networked device and for presentation of the image information at the networked device, the image delivery parameter and the image presentation parameter associated with the networked device being contained in the session information; and
providing a response for the request, the response comprising at least a portion of the image information in the image format.

Abstract
A content server distributes image information to networked devices. The content server receives a request for delivery of information to a networked device, including image information. The content server determines, based on at least one of an image delivery parameter and an image presentation parameter associated with the networked device, an image format for the image information for delivery of the image information to the networked device and for presentation of the image information at the networked device. The content server sends a response to the networked device, responding to the request, the response comprising at least a portion of the image information in the image format. The image delivery parameter corresponds to at least one network communication link type and the image presentation parameter corresponds to at least one presentation platform type.

3. A content server system comprising:
-
a first memory for storing at least one of an image delivery parameter and an image presentation parameter associated with a networked device; a network interface for communicating with a network; a controller, communicatively coupled to the first memory and to the network interface; and a second memory, communicatively coupled to the controller, for storing computer instructions for the controller to control the content server system to; receiving a request that includes a request for delivery of image information to a networked device and session information pertaining to the current communication session between the networked device and a server, the session information being separate from the request for delivery of image information; determining, by at least one server within a network, based on an image delivery parameter and an image presentation parameter associated with the networked device, an image format for the image information for delivery of the image information to the networked device and for presentation of the image information at the networked device, the image delivery parameter and the image presentation parameter associated with the networked device being contained in the session information; and providing a response for the request, the response comprising at least a portion of the image information in the image format. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)

11. A method comprising the steps of:
-
storing an image delivery parameter and an image presentation parameter associated with a networked device; receiving a request that includes a request for delivery of displayable image information to the networked device and session information pertaining to a current communication session between the networked device and a server, the session information being separate from the request for delivery of, the displayable image information; determining, by at least one sender within a network, available image formats for the displayable image information; and selecting one of the available image formats, based at least in part on the image delivery parameter and the image presentation parameter, for delivery to and presentation at the networked device, the image delivery parameter and the image presentation parameter associated with the networked device being contained in the session information. - View Dependent Claims (12)
