Transferring system for huge and high quality images on network and method thereof

Abstract

A transferring system for huge and high quality images on network and a method thereof are disclosed, wherein various individual image data are converted into high quality image data to be converted into layered image data, and classified into a plurality of sub cells, then stored in database as a compressed form. A client system connected to a server requires information, immediately downloads the required information, releases the compression, and then displays on a screen real time. In the present invention, a user can fast see only his wanted part since images of a newspaper and a magazine are converted as they were. Also, various additional information is provided with image, thereby providing multimedia digital publication services on wire or wireless network.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of storing an image comprising:
 dividing an image having a a prescribed display screen resolution into M horizontal sub cells and N vertical sub cells such that there are a total of M×N sub cells;   compressing each of the sub cells;   endowing each compressed sub cell with an index indicating position or coordinate relative to the image; and   integrating the compressed sub cells into a single image file; and   storing the single image file, wherein based on a user request, a prescribed number of sub cells are processed for display on a display device, the prescribed number of sub cells being less than M×N sub cells.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the display device of a client system is coupled to a memory, the memory has a capacity to store data less than data corresponding to the prescribed display screen resolution.
