Patent ID: 7834874

Claim:
A method of presenting image data from a server that is to be realized on a terminal, the method comprising: setting and storing tolerance cycle information associated with realization time of image data and an image processing speed of the terminal, each image data including a plurality of image factors, and each image factor having a rendering value; measuring, at a processor located outside of the server and the terminal and interposed between the server and the terminal, information indicating at least part of a time period to render first image data on the terminal; determining a realization processing cycle of first image data transmitted to the terminal based on the measured time period; comparing the realization processing cycle of the first image data with a tolerance cycle of the terminal; and adjusting, by the processor interposed between the server and the terminal, the realization processing cycle of a second image data sent to the terminal after the first image data, based at least in part on the outcome of comparing the realization processing cycle of the first image data with the tolerance cycle, wherein the adjusting of the realization processing cycle of the second image data comprises: determining a level of detail adjustment with respect to the second image data using the rendering values of the image factors of the second image data, wherein, when the realization processing cycle of the first image data is longer than the tolerance cycle, image factors having a relatively lower rendering value are adjusted before image factors having a relatively higher rendering value.
