SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF IMAGE REMOTING USING A SHARED IMAGE CACHE

2 . A method comprising:

at a server system executing a third-party application:

for a first session of a plurality of sessions of the third-party application, the first session corresponding to a first client device:

accessing an image asset;

providing a modified version of the image asset to the third-party application to be processed by the third-party application;

receiving, from the third-party application, an indication that the modified version of the image asset has been down-scaled by the third-party application during processing;

in response to receiving the indication that the modified version of the image asset has been down-scaled by the third-party application, determining that the image asset is to be down-scaled at the server system; and

in accordance with a determination that the image asset is to be down-scaled at the server system:

down-scaling, at the server system, the image asset, thereby producing a down-scaled version of the image asset;

transmitting the down-scaled version of the image asset to be stored in a shared image cache, wherein the plurality of sessions of the third-party application have access to the shared image cache; and

transmitting the down-scaled version of the image asset to the first client device for display.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, at the server system, for a second session of the plurality of sessions of the third-party application corresponding to a second client device:

after storing the down-scaled version of the image asset in the shared image cache for the first session, receiving a second request for the down-scaled version of the image asset; and

in response to the second request and in accordance with a determination that the server system is to perform the down-scaling:

retrieving the down-scaled version of the image asset from the shared image cache; and

sending the down-scaled version of the image asset to the second client device corresponding to the second session.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the image asset is stored in the shared image cache for an initial session of the plurality of sessions.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further including determining that the server system is to perform the downscaling and send the downscaled image asset in accordance with the amount of downscaling satisfying a threshold amount of scaling.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further including determining that the client is to perform the downscaling in accordance with the amount of downscaling failing to satisfy a threshold amount of scaling.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising, in accordance with a determination that the first client device is to perform the down-scaling, sending an instruction to the first client device to down-scale the image asset without transmitting the image asset to the first client device.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the modified version of the image asset comprises a QR code overlaid across the entire image asset.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the modified version of the image asset comprises a plurality of modules placed in fixed locations, relative to the scale of the image asset, each module including data.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a first subset, less than all, of the plurality of modules are assigned to data to encode orientation.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a second subset, less than all, of the plurality of modules are assigned to encode color planes and for detection of color transformations.

11 . A server system executing a third-party application, comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors for:

for a first session of a plurality of sessions of the third-party application, the first session corresponding to a first client device:

accessing an image asset;

providing a modified version of the image asset to the third-party application to be processed by the third-party application;

receiving, from the third-party application, an indication that the modified version of the image asset has been down-scaled by the third-party application during processing;

in response to receiving the indication that the modified version of the image asset has been down-scaled by the third-party application, determining that the image asset is to be down-scaled at the server system; and

in accordance with a determination that the image asset is to be down-scaled at the server system:

down-scaling, at the server system, the image asset, thereby producing a down-scaled version of the image asset;

transmitting the down-scaled version of the image asset to be stored in a shared image cache, wherein the plurality of sessions of the third-party application have access to the shared image cache; and

transmitting the down-scaled version of the image asset to the first client device for display.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed by a server system that is executing a third-party application and that includes one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform a set of operations, comprising:

for a first session of a plurality of sessions of the third-party application, the first session corresponding to a first client device:

accessing an image asset;

providing a modified version of the image asset to the third-party application to be processed by the third-party application;

receiving, from the third-party application, an indication that the modified version of the image asset has been down-scaled by the third-party application during processing;

in response to receiving the indication that the modified version of the image asset has been down-scaled by the third-party application, determining that the image asset is to be down-scaled at the server system; and

in accordance with a determination that the image asset is to be down-scaled at the server system:

down-scaling, at the server system, the image asset, thereby producing a down-scaled version of the image asset;

transmitting the down-scaled version of the image asset to be stored in a shared image cache, wherein the plurality of sessions of the third-party application have access to the shared image cache; and

transmitting the down-scaled version of the image asset to the first client device for display.
