Abstract:
A method of transmitting graphic images, comprising the steps of:transmitting data defining pixels of a displayable subpicture comprising at least two motion phases of the subpicture; transmitting data invoking said subpicture for display on a receiver, characterized in that the step of transmitting pixel defining data includes i.) transmitting pixel defining data for at least the two motion phases of said subpicture so that an animation of the subpicture can be displayed and thereby create a dynacon, and ii.) the transmission of a time code representing a time interval between displaying the successive motion phases of said subpicture, the time interval being changeable from transmission to transmission; and successively and cyclically reading the motion phases from a memory and cyclically displaying said phases recurrently for a time period.
