Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided in which an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) generates a multi-resolution image on a multi-web server to provide the total process to manufacture the multi-resolution image, up-load to the image to the server, as well as to put it into web in one service. The process can be embodied to link an ASP Service Developer server, an ASP Service Operator server, and a Multi-Web Server. The desired functions can be performed by the client that needs the image. Therefore, all of the process from image manufacturing to start business through web can be realized easily and with low cost.
Claims10
A method of executing an Application Service Provider (ASP) Service that provides a multi-resolution images using Multi-Web Server, the method comprising:
- a) connecting an Image Manufacturing Client to Multi-Web Server;
- b) downloading an Image Manufacturing Program from the Multi-Web Server to the Image Manufacturing Client, the Image Manufacturing Program composed of an Application Part and an OCX Component Part;
- c) receiving, with the Application Part, at least one service parameter defining a desired image processing task to be performed on an original image;
- d) delivering each service parameter from the Application Part to the OCX Component Part;
- e) inputting the original image to the Image Manufacturing Client by using the OCX Component Part;
- f) executing a multi-resolution image reducing routine and a divided size calculation routine in the OCX Component Part to obtain at least one image reduction parameter as a function of the service parameter, wherein each image reduction parameter defines one of a multiplier or a dimension to convert the original image to one of the reduced resolution images;
- g) manufacturing a web page, the manufacturing step being executed in the OCX Component Part and including dividing the original image data according to the image reduction parameters to generate the multi-resolution image and storing the multi-resolution image on the web page, wherein the multi-resolution image includes the original image stored in at least a first resolution and a second resolution;
- h) uploading the web page to one of a plurality of web servers present on the Multi-Web Server, the web server being designated by the Image Manufacturing Client using the OCX Component Part;
- i) providing access to the web page by an ordinary Netizen client using the web server designated by the Image Manufacturing Client in step g), thereby providing the multi-resolution image using the Multi-Web Server.
A method for uploading a multi-resolution image to a Multi-Web Server, the method comprising the steps of:
- transferring at least one service parameter, which defines a desired image processing task to be performed on an original image, mutually between an Application Part and an OCX Component Part,
- manufacturing the multi-resolution image using at least one of the service parameters, wherein the multi-resolution image includes the original image stored in at least at first resolution and a second resolution;
- uploading the multi-resolution image to the Multi-Web Server;
- and
- browsing the uploaded multi-resolution image at a client terminal via the Multi-Web Server.
