METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMAGE SHARING OVER A NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004104759
Kind Code:

Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for sharing images over a network. A first user selects an image for sharing and designates an image recipient. Metadata for the first image is transmitted from the first user's terminal to the image recipient's terminal. At least partly in response to receiving the metadata, the image recipient's terminal transmits a request for the first image at a first resolution to the first user's terminal. In response to the request, the first user's terminal transmits the first image at the requested first resolution to the image recipient's terminal.
