Abstract

A method for displaying multimedia content on the screen of a multimedia terminal, the multimedia content being encoded by data included in a file stored on a server remote from the terminal in a format such that the entire file is required by an application supporting the format for generating a display of the multimedia content on the screen of the terminal, wherein the method includes: requesting by the terminal the transmission of an encoding of the display of the multimedia content into a defined rendering format; using by the server the file for generating the rendering encoding of the multimedia content according to the defined rendering format by the terminal; and transmitting by the server the rendering encoding to the terminal using a graphic interface sharing protocol.

Claims

1. A method for displaying multimedia content on a screen of a multimedia terminal, the multimedia content being coded by data included in a file, stored on a server remote from said terminal, in a format such that the entire file is required by an application processing said format for generating a display of said multimedia content on the screen of the terminal, the method comprising:

requesting by the terminal a transmission of an encoding of the display of the multimedia content in a defined rendering format,

using by the server the file to generate the rendering encoding of said multimedia content according to the rendering format defined by the terminal, and

transmitting by the server the encoding of the rendering to the terminal using a graphic interface sharing protocol.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising storing by the terminal different defined rendering formats for different applications processing different file formats.

3. The method according to claim 2, comprising displaying by the terminal command buttons on a screen and associating a command of such a button with a transmission of a command to the server intended to control the use of the file by the server.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the transmission of a command to the server by the terminal is coded according to a graphic interface sharing protocol.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the multimedia content is a video, the method comprising transmitting by the server the rendering encoding of the video using, first, data data encoding a position of the video according to the defined rendering format and, second, the video data encoding the images forming the video.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the data data and the video data are generated from a same memory storing the rendering encoding of multimedia content generated by the server according to a matrix encoding.

7. The method according to claim 4, comprising processing the data data generated to inhibit the transmission of video data.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the defined display format determines a size of the rendering dedicated by the terminal on the screen to the multimedia content.

9. A server configured to store multimedia content in a file, coded in a format such that the entire file is required by an application processing the format to generate a rendering of said multimedia content on a screen, comprising

a receiver configured to receive a transmission request of an encoding of a display of the multimedia content in a defined rendering format transmitted by a remote terminal,

an application manager configured to use the file stored to generate the rendering encoding of said multimedia content according to the defined rendering format by the terminal, and

a transmitter configured to transmit the encoding of the rendering to the terminal using a graphic interface sharing protocol so as to participate in the implementation of a method in accordance with claim 1.

10. A terminal comprising:

a rendering system configured to render multimedia content on a screen, the multimedia content being coded by data included in a file, stored on a server remote from said terminal, in a format such that the entire file is required by an application processing the format for generating a rendering of said multimedia content on a screen of the terminal, and

a system configured to request the transmission of a rendering encoding of the multimedia content according to a defined rendering format so as to implement a method according to claim 1.
