`When this Application Data Sheet is properly signed and filed with the application, applicant has provided written
`authority to permit a participating foreign intellectual property (IP) office access to the instant application-as-filed (see
`paragraph A in subsection 1 below) and the European Patent Office (EPO) access to any search results from the instant
`application (see paragraph B in subsection 1 below).
`
`Should applicant choose not to provide an authorization identified in subsection 1 below, applicant must opt-out of the
`authorization by checking the corresponding box A or B or both in subsection 2 below.
`
`
`NOTE: This section of the Application Data Sheet is ONLY reviewed and processed with the INITIAL filing of an
`application. After the initial filing of an application, an Application Data Sheet cannot be used to provide or rescind
`authorization for access by a foreign lP office(s).
`Instead, Form PTO/SB/39 or PTO/SBIBQ must be used as appropriate.

`participating with the USPTO in a bilateral or multilateral priority document exchange agreement in which a foreign
`application claiming priority to the instant patent application is filed, access to: (1) the instant patent application-as-filed
`and its related bibliographic data, (2) any foreign or domestic application to which priority or benefit is claimed by the
`instant application and its related bibliographic data, and (3) the date of filing of this Authorization. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)
`(1).
`
`
`B. Search Results from U.S. Application to EPO - Unless box B in subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked,
`
`the undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the EPO access to the bibliographic data and search
`results from the instant patent application when a European patent application claiming priority to the instant patent
`application is filed. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)(2).
`
`The applicant is reminded that the EPO's Rule 141(1) EPC (European Patent Convention) requires applicants to submit a
`copy of search results from the instant application without delay in a European patent application that claims priority to
`the instant application.
`
`2. Opt-Out of Authorizations to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)

`
`A. Applicant DOES NOT authorize the USPTO to permit a participating foreign lP office access to the instant

`Field
`
`The disclosure is related to network based, image distribution systems and, in particular,
`
`to a system and methods for efficiently selecting and distributing image parcels through a
`
`narrowband or otherwise limited bandwidth communications channel to support presentation of
`
`high—resolution images subject to dynamic viewing frustums.

`
`The Internet and or other network systems may provide a unique opportunity to transmit
`
`for example complex images, typically large scale bit—maps, particularly those approaching
`
`photo—realistic levels, over large area and or distances. In common application, the images may
`
`be geographic, topographic, and or other highly detailed maps. The data storage requirements
`
`and often proprietary nature of such images could be such that conventional interests may be to
`
`transfer the images on an as—needed basis.
`
`In conventional fixed—site applications, the image data may be transferred over a
`
`relatively high—bandwidth network to client computer systems that in turn, may render the
`
`image. Client systems may typically implement a local image navigation system to provide zoom
`
`and or pan functions based on user interaction. As well recognized problem with such
`
`conventional systems could be that full resolution image presentation may be subject to the
`
`inherent transfer latency of the network. Different conventional systems have been proposed to
`
`reduce the latency affect by transmitting the image in highly compressed formats that support
`
`progressive resolution build—up of the image within the current client field of view. Using a
`
`transform compressed image transfer function increases the field of the image that can be
`
`transferred over a fixed bandwidth network in unit time. Progressive image resolution
`
`transmission, typically using a differential resolution method, permits an approximate image to
`
`be quickly presented with image details being continuously added over time.
`
`Tzou, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,698,689, describes a two—dimensional data transform system
`
`that supports transmission of differential coefficients to represent an image. Subsequent
`
`transmitted coefficient sets are progressively accumulated with prior transmitted sets to provide a

`
`succeedingly refined image. The inverse—transform function performed by the client computer is,
`
`however, highly compute intensive. In order to simplify the transform implementation and
`
`further reduce the latency of presenting any portion of an approximate image, images are sub—
`
`divided into a regular array. This enables the inverse—transform function on the client, which is
`
`time—critical, to deal with substantially smaller coefficient data sets. The array size in Tzou is
`
`fixed, which leads to progressively larger coefficient data sets as the detail level of the image
`
`increases. Consequently, there is an inherently increasing latency in resolving finer levels of
`
`detail.
`
`An image visualization system proposed by Yap et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,182,114,
`
`10
`
`overcomes some of the foregoing problems. The Yap et al. system also employs a progressive
`
`encoding transform to compress the image transfer stream. The transform also operates on a
`
`subdivided image, but the division is indexed to the encoding level of the transform. The
`
`encoded transform coefficient data sets are, therefore, of constant size, which supports a modest
`
`improvement in the algorithmic performance of the inverse transform operation required on the
`
`15
`
`client.
`
`Yap et al. adds utilization of client image panning or other image pointing input
`
`information to support a foveation—based operator to influence the retrieval order of the
`
`subdivided image blocks. This two—dimensional navigation information is used to identify a
`
`foveal region that is presumed to be the gaze point of a client system user. The foveation
`
`operator defines the corresponding image block as the center point of an ordered retrieval of
`
`coefficient sets representing a variable resolution image. The gaze point image block represents
`
`the area of highest image resolution, with resolution reduction as a function of distance from the
`
`gaze point determined by the foveation operator. This technique thus progressively builds image
`
`resolution at the gaze point and succeedingly outward based on a relatively compute intensive
`
`function. Shifts in the gaze point can be responded to with relative speed by preferentially
`
`retrieving coefficient sets at and near the new foveal region.
`
`Significant problems remain in permitting the convenient and effective use of complex
`
`images by many different types of client systems, even with the improvements provided by the
`
`various conventional systems. In particular, the implementation of conventional image
`
`visualization systems is generally unworkable for smaller, often dedicated or embedded, clients

`
`where use of image visualization would clearly be beneficial. Conventional approaches
`
`effectively presume that client systems have an excess of computing performance, memory and
`
`storage. Small clients, however, typically have restricted performance processors with possibly
`
`no dedicated floating—point support, little ge
