for example, once it is determined what coding mode was used to
produce the macroblock of quantized input data, a selection is
made of one of a plurality of variable length coding tables as
a function of the coding mode and that table is used in order
to provide variable length coding of the macroblock.
Representative independent claim 17 is reproduced as
follows:
17. A method for variable length coding of a macroblock
of quantized input data, comprising the steps of:
determining a coding mode used to produce said macroblock;
selecting one of a plurality of variable length coding
tables as a function of said coding mode to provide a selected
variable length coding table; and
variable length coding said macroblock using the selected
variable length coding table.
The examiner relies on the following reference:
