Title: Innovations by Jonathan Sheller
Introduction
Jonathan Sheller is an accomplished inventor based in San Francisco, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of image transmission technology, holding a total of 6 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the speed and quality of image rendering, particularly in encrypted environments.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Methods and systems for transmitting an image with thumbnail data." This invention relates to techniques that improve the speed and rendering quality of images, such as JPEGs. The process involves analyzing the image on the sending-client side and breaking the image data into a thumbnail and a full-quality image. The full-quality image relies on the thumbnail data to render a high-quality image. The image is uploaded to a blob store, and a message is sent to the receiving client with the image information. At the recipient side, the JPEG image data is retrieved from the blob store, and the thumbnail is rendered first. As the remainder of the image data is received, the image is updated, allowing for faster rendering and enabling users to decide whether to download the full image.
Another notable patent is "Methods and systems for transmitting an image in chunks." This invention also focuses on improving image speed and quality, particularly in encrypted environments. The image data is analyzed and broken into multiple categories, with one embodiment dividing the data into four chunks. Each chunk can be rendered progressively to provide increasing levels of quality. The image is uploaded to a blob store, and a message is sent to the receiving client with the image information. At the recipient side, the JPEG image data is retrieved, and each chunk is rendered at progressively increasing levels of quality. This method results in faster image rendering and an increase in quality over time.
