1. A method of transmitting hybrid-resolution image data, the method comprising:
an operation (a) of receiving, by a processor, data of an original image from an image information generating device;
an operation (b) of setting, by the processor, a high-resolution display region in the original image;
an operation (c) of converting, by the processor, image data in the high-resolution display region in the original image into high-resolution image data having a first resolution;
an operation (d) of converting, by the processor, the data of the original image into background image data at a second resolution lower than the first resolution;
an operation (e) of transmitting, by the processor, the high-resolution image data or the background image data;
an operation (f) of, when a network delay phenomenon occurs, reducing, by the processor, the high-resolution display region or converting the high-resolution display region into a high-resolution display region having the second resolution; and
an operation (f1) of, in response to determining that there is sufficient capacity to transmit or receive a portion other than the high-resolution display region at a high resolution, automatically enlarging the high-resolution display region, and in response to determining that there is insufficient capacity, automatically reducing the high-resolution display region.
