Abstract

See full text

Computer method and apparatus provides remote communication of images with low communication bandwidth requirements. Workstations are remotely coupled to each other across a communication channel (e.g., telephone line or Internet line) and employ the invention method and apparatus. Parameter values of desired images are input at one workstation and transmitted across the communication channel to a remote workstation. In response to the input parameter values, the remote workstation generates and displays the desired images. Video e-mail messages is one application of such remote generation of desired images. Further parameter values may be input at the remote workstation for generation and display of corresponding further images at the initial workstation. Interactive video conferencing results as the workstations remotely communicate images in real-time to each other.
