Abstract
A stored image is delivered via a network in response to requests from receiving terminals. Information concerning the color properties of the receiving terminals is acquired, and, based on the acquired information, the stored image is color-converted into images in accordance with the color properties of each receiving terminal. The color-converted stored images are the delivered. An output profile for each receiving terminal is used to improve color reproductivity.
Claims30
A stored image delivery method for delivering a stored image via a network in response to a request from a receiving terminal, comprising:
- acquiring information concerning color properties of said receiving terminal;
- color-converting said stored image into an image in accordance with said color properties of said receiving terminal based on said acquired information;
- and
- delivering said color-converted stored image to said receiving terminal.
A stored image delivery method, comprising:
- receiving stored image selection information and receiving terminal attribute information from a WWW server;
- using an output profile corresponding to said attribute information of said receiving terminal to convert a stored image into a converted image in accordance with color properties of said receiving terminal;
- storing said converted image in a cache;
- and
- notifying said WWW server of one of either positional information of said converted image stored in said cache or positional information of an HTML file linked with said converted image.
A stored image delivery method, comprising:
- receiving stored image selection information and receiving terminal attribute information from a WWW server;
- converting said stored image into a converted image in accordance with color properties of a receiving terminal by using an input profile relating to an input device which has created said stored image and an output profile corresponding to said receiving terminal attribute information;
- storing said converted image in a cache;
- and
- notifying said WWW server of one of either positional information of said converted image stored in said cache or positional information of an HTML file linked with said converted image.
A recording medium in which, in a readable manner, programs are recorded according to steps comprising:
- delivering a stored image via a network in response to a request from a receiving terminal;
- acquiring information concerning color properties of said receiving terminal;
- color-converting said stored image into a converted image in accordance with said color properties of said receiving terminal based on said acquired information;
- and
- delivering said converted image to said receiving terminal.
A stored image delivery device comprising:
- a WWW server;
- an image recording means for recording an image to be stored;
- an output profile recording means for recording an output profile corresponding to attribute information of a receiving terminal;
- a color converting means for converting said image into a converted image in accordance with color properties of said receiving terminal and outputting said converted image;
- an output image cache for storing said converted image outputted from said color converting means;
- and
- a server input/output control means, which receives stored image selection information and receiving terminal attribute information from said WWW server, outputs said stored image selection information and- said receiving terminal attribute information to said color converting means, and notifies said WWW server of one of either positional information of the output image in said output image cache outputted from said color converting means or positional information of an HTML file linked with said converted image.
A stored image delivery device comprising:
- a WWW server;
- an image recording means for recording an image to be stored;
- an input profile recording means for recording an input profile corresponding to said image of said image recording means;
- an output profile recording means for recording an output profile corresponding to attribute information of said receiving terminal;
- a color converting means for converting said image into a converted image in accordance with color properties of said receiving terminal by using said input profile and said output profile;
- an output image cache for storing said converted image outputted from said color converting means;
- and
- a server input/output control means, which receives image selection information and receiving terminal attribute information from said WWW server, outputs said image selection information and said receiving terminal attribute information to said color converting means, and notifies said WWW server of one of either positional information of said converted image in said output image cache outputted from said color converting means or positional information of an HTML file linked with said converted image.
