Appeal No. 1997-2310
Application No. 08/329,945
Appellant's invention relates to a picture processing
system for decompressing compressed data corresponding to
pictures. The system includes plural memories, each coupled
to a decoder and storing reconstructed data from both the
associated decoder and an adjacent decoder. Claim 1 is
illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as
follows:
1. A system for processing compressed data corresponding
to pictures, the compressed data including a plurality of
slices of data, the system comprising:
a decoder system having an input that receives the
compressed data, the decoder system generating decoded picture
data based upon a current block of the compressed data and a
predictor block of decoded picture data previously decoded by
the decoder;
wherein the decoder system includes a plurality of
decoders and a plurality of picture memories, each of the
plurality of decoders being coupled to a respective one of the
plurality of picture memories, each picture memory of the
plurality of picture memories storing one of the plurality of
slices of data and at least one boundary area of an adjacent
slice of the plurality of slices of data that is decoded by at
least one second decoder of the plurality of decoders.
