Appeal No. 2003-1523
Application 09/432,426
We reverse.
BACKGROUND
The invention relates to a video coding and decoding method.
During the decoding process, status information indicating an
"error profile" of the communication channel is extracted and
transmitted to the encoder. The encoder adaptively adds
redundancy information into the video data stream in a layer
configuration based on the channel status information.
Claim 1 is reproduced below.
1. A video coding method implemented in a video data
transceiver for transmitting and receiving video data
through a communications channel, the method comprising the
steps of:
receiving channel status information indicating an
error profile of the communication channel; and
adaptively adding redundancy information into data
packets, the data packets being syntax divided in a layer
configuration based on the channel status information.
The examiner relies on the following reference:
Watanabe et al. (Watanabe) 6,310,897 October 30, 2001
(§ 102(e) date May 1, 1998)
Claims 1 and 31 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Watanabe.
We refer to the final rejection (Paper No. 8) and the
examiner's answer (Paper No. 16) (pages referred to as "EA__")
