Abstract

Embodiments include systems and methods that use video compression techniques when browsing web pages referencing static image data or video content. In non-limiting examples, this can include using modern video compression techniques when browsing web pages referencing compressed static image data to obtain increased efficiency in transmission and/or rendering of the static image data on a browser at a client device. In an embodiment, a system includes a browser that browses a received web page having a content identifier and an associated video compression data signature. The browser includes a decoder that decodes compressed video content associated with the content identifier in accordance with a type of video compression identified by the video compression data signature to obtain static image data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device having a browser, a web page that references a static image identifier;
requesting a static image file identified by the static image identifier from a web server using the browser, the static image identifier indicating that the static image file is encoded using a type of static image compression;
receiving a compressed video file in response to the request for the static image file;
recognizing t…
