Abstract
A method for increasing the quality of a section of visual data communicated over a network from a first node to a second node, the method at the second node including receiving a lower-quality visual data via a network, receiving a corresponding reference to an algorithm operable to increase a quality of the lower-quality visual data, the algorithm selected based on a higher-quality visual data from which the lower-quality visual data was generated, and using the algorithm to increase the quality of the lower-quality visual data to recreate the higher-quality visual data.
Claims20
A method for reducing an amount of data to be transferred when communicating visual data over a network from a first node to a second node, the method at the first node comprising:
- reducing a quality of at least one section of higher-quality visual data to at least one section of lower-quality visual data;
- selecting at least one algorithm configured to increase a quality of at least one section of lower-quality visual data using the higher-quality visual data to optimise the selection of the at least one algorithm, wherein the at least one algorithm corresponds to the at least one section of lower quality visual data;
- transmitting the at least one section of lower-quality visual data to the second node;
- and
- transmitting, to the second node, at least one reference corresponding to the selected at least one algorithm that correspond to the at least one section of lower-quality visual data transmitted to the second node;
- wherein the second node is configured to identify the selected at least one algorithm using the transmitted at least one reference and reproduce the at least one section of higher-quality visual data from the transmitted at least one section of lower-quality visual data using the at least one algorithm that corresponds to the at least one section of lower-quality visual data.

A system for reducing an amount of data transferred when communicating visual data files over a network, the system comprising:
- two or more nodes, wherein a first node is configured to:
- reduce a quality of at least one section of higher-quality visual data to at least one section of lower-quality visual data;
- select at least one algorithm configured to increase a quality of at least one section of lower-quality visual data using the higher-quality visual data, wherein the algorithm corresponds to the at least one section of lower quality visual data;
- transmit the at least one section of lower-quality visual data to a second node;
- and
- transmit, to the second node, at least one reference to the at least one algorithm that correspond to the at least one section of lower-quality visual data transmitted to the second node;
- wherein the second node is configured to:
- receive the at least one section of lower-quality visual data via a network;
- receive the corresponding at least one reference to the at least one algorithm;
- and
- use the algorithm to increase the quality of the lower-quality visual data to substantially recreate the higher-quality visual data.
