Remotely controlled communicated image resolution

A method for communicating image, the method comprising:

• acquiring said image by a mobile communication device comprising an image acquiring device, said image being acquire at high-resolution;
• converting said image to low-resolution by said mobile communication device to form a low-resolution image in real-time;
• communicating said low-resolution image from said mobile communication device to a remote display device in real-time;
• displaying said low-resolution image on a display of said remote display device in real-time;
• receiving a user selection, at said remote display device, of a point location within said low-resolution image;
• communicating said point location to said mobile communication device;
• and
• communicating a high-resolution image associated with said selected image portion from said mobile communication device to said remote display device;
• wherein said high-resolution image covers a part of said low-resolution image including said point location.

A processing device comprising:

• an image acquiring module configured to acquire high-resolution imaging data;
• a resolution conversion module configured to convert said high-resolution imaging data into low-resolution imaging data;
• and
• a communication module configured to:
• communicate said low-resolution imaging data to a remote display device;
• receive from said a remote display device a portion identifier associated with a user selection at said remote display device of a portion of said low-resolution imaging data;
• and
• communicate a high-resolution imaging data associated with said selected image portion to said remote display device;
• wherein said high-resolution imaging data is a close-up (zoom-in) view of said low-resolution imaging data including said selected image portion.

A processing device comprising:

• a communication module configured to:
• receive a low-resolution imaging data from another processing device;
• and
• transmit to said another processing device a portion identifier associated with a portion of said low-resolution imaging data;
• receive from said another processing device a high-resolution imaging data associated with said portion identifier;
• wherein said high-resolution imaging data is a close-up (zoom-in) view of said low-resolution imaging data including said selected image portion.
