Systems and methods for adjusting progressive image transmission based on device properties

Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can store a set of image portions that forms an image at a specified resolution. A request for the image can be acquired from a client device. The request can include information about one or more properties associated with the client device. A subset of image portions can be selected out of the set of image portions based on the one or more properties associated with the client device. The subset of image portions can be transmitted to the client device in response to the request.

 determining, based on the one or more properties, at least one of a client resolution or a client dimension of a display element of the client device;   determining a quantity of successive image portions forming a version of the image that is capable of being rendered to match, within an allowable deviation, the at least one of the client resolution or the client dimension of the display element; and   including the quantity of successive image portions in the subset of image portions.   
     
     
         3 .

The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more properties associated with the client device indicate a location at which the client device is used, and wherein the subset of image portions is selected out of the set of image portions based on the location. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 5 , wherein at least a first quantity of successive images portions is selected to be included in the subset of image portions when the location corresponds to a first region recognized as having at least a specified threshold level of device capability or network capability, and wherein a second quantity of successive images portions less than the first quantity is selected to be included in the subset of image portions when the location corresponds to a second region recognized as having less than the specified threshold level of device capability or network capability. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the set of image portions that forms the image at the specified resolution is stored via a cache associated with a content delivery network. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 7 , wherein the cache excludes one or more different versions of the image at one or more different resolutions other than the specified resolution. 
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the set of image portions includes a set of one or more progressive image scans. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 9 , wherein the image includes a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image, and wherein the set of the one or more progressive image scans includes a set of one or more progressive JPEG scans. 
     
     
         11 . A system comprising:
 at least one processor; and   a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
 storing a set of image portions that forms an image at a specified resolution; 
 acquiring a request from a client device for the image, the request including information about one or more properties associated with the client device; 
 selecting a subset of image portions out of the set of image portions based on the one or more properties associated with the client device; and 
 transmitting the subset of image portions to the client device in response to the request. 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein selecting the subset of image portions out of the set of image portions based on the one or more properties associated with the client device further comprises:

         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more properties associated with the client device indicate a location at which the client device is used, and wherein the subset of image portions is selected out of the set of image portions based on the location.
