Image processing method, image output processing method, and image reception processing method

An image output processing method carried out by an image output device, comprising:

• using the image output device to generate a scale-down image according to a source image while the size of the scale-down image is smaller than the size of the source image;
• using the image output device to generate a plurality of divided images including a first and a second halves of the scale-down image;
• using the image output device to compress the divided images so as to generate a plurality of encoded images;
• and
• having the image output device output the plurality of encoded images to an image reception device through a transmission interface.

An image reception processing method carried out by an image reception device for receiving and processing a plurality of encoded images from an image output device in which the plurality of encoded images is derived from a source image, comprising:

• using the image reception device to decompress the plurality of encoded images to generate a plurality of divided images including a first and a second halves of a scale-down image of the source image;
• using the image reception device to generate a combined image or a plurality of enlarged image according to the plurality of divided images;
• and
• using the image reception device to enlarge the combined image or combine the plurality of enlarged images to generate a display image or assist in generating the display image.

An image processing method carried out by an image processing system which includes an image output device, a transmission interface and an image reception device, comprising:

• using the image output device to generate a plurality of divided images of the same size according to a source image in which each of the divided images has incomplete image lines in comparison with the source image;
• using the image output device to compress the divided images so as to generate a plurality of encoded images;
• having the image output device output the plurality of encoded images to the image reception device through the transmission interface;
• using the image reception device to decompress the plurality of encoded images to recover the plurality of divided images;
• and
• using the image reception device to generate a display image according to the plurality of divided images.

An image reception processing method realized by an image reception device for receiving and processing a plurality of encoded images from an image output device in which the plurality of encoded images is derived from a source image, comprising:

• using the image reception device to decompress the plurality of encoded images to obtain a plurality of divided images including a first and a second halves of the same size;
• using the image reception device to detect whether the plurality of encoded images or divided images contains an identification, or having the image reception device receive the identification from the image output device, wherein the identification indicates an image output processing method;
• and
• if the identification is detected or received by the image reception device, having the image reception device generate a display image in consideration of the image output processing method.
