Appeal No. 1999-2817 Application 08/819,587 1 on appeal of “determining if the distance between the uncompressed current block and the adjacent block is acceptable.” The abstract of Uramoto indicates the circuit of Figure 1 is a version of the motion vector detector that first determines an absolute difference of the compared data between adjacent frames to determine a displacement vector by a summation unit (see Figure 1) which value is fed to a comparison unit to ultimately detect a motion vector. It is this comparator 3 in Figure 1 which is shown in further detail beginning in Figure 43, the discussion of which begins at the middle of column 26. The evaluation value, according to the discussion associated with this figure, leads to the determination of a motion vector and even, optionally, to a decoder. The discussion between columns 26 and 27 indicates that if a newly applied evaluation value is smaller than the value stored in the register latch 130 in Figure 43, a latch instruction signal is generated, whereas if the newly applied evaluation value is greater than the value stored in the register latch 130, the comparator 130 does not generate a latchPage: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
