The target image block set meets a target condition, and the target condition includes: a percentage of hit image blocks in the target image block set is greater than or equal to a target threshold, or a percentage of hit image blocks in the target image block set is greater than a percentage of hit image blocks in another image block set. The image sending method further includes sending data information of each image block and location information of each image block in the target image block set to a user end.
