20110103488 | CODING DISTORTION REMOVAL METHOD, VIDEO ENCODING METHOD, VIDEO DECODING METHOD, AND APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR THE SAME - A semiconductor for decoding coded image and audio data, which includes an audio processor that decodes coded audio data, and an image decoder that decodes image data. The image decoder removes coding distortion in pixels of two adjacent transform blocks which are motion-compensated, having a coded motion compensation error equal to zero, and are located inside a same macroblock. The image decoder includes a motion compensation block boundary detector that determines whether the motion compensation error of the two adjacent transform blocks located inside the macroblock is zero, and determines whether a boundary of two adjacent transform block is also a boundary of two adjacent motion-compensation blocks. The image decoder also includes a filter that removes coding distortion in pixels of the two adjacent transform blocks, and a selector that selects whether or not the filter removes the coding distortion based on the determination of the motion compensation block boundary detector. | 05-05-2011 |
20120039582 | VERIFICATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF FILES OBTAINED SEPARATELY FROM A VIDEO CONTENT - The invention relates to a playback device for playback of a video content and of a file obtained separately from the video content. The invention is for a system wherein a file to be played with a movie is obtained from an uncontrolled source such as the Internet. Obtaining a file from such a source creates a number of issues due to the lack of control. The file obtained may not correspond to the intended movie or to the intended language and may not be synchronized with the movie. The invention proposes: 1) to verify that the separately obtained file corresponds to the movie; 2) if the separately obtained file corresponds to the movie, to determine whether it is synchronized with the movie; 3) if the separately obtained file is not synchronized with the movie, to synchronize it. The correspondence can be verified based on language, key phrases relating to the movie, or timing. | 02-16-2012 |
