Method and apparatus for adaptive decoding

An adaptive decoding apparatus configuring a decoding process adaptively based on an encoding format of inputted data, the apparatus comprising:

• a separating part configured to separate decoding module configuration information and encoded data from received inputted data and to output the decoding module configuration information and the encoded data;
• a decoding module storing part configured to store a plurality of decoding modules, the decoding modules being configured to perform a predetermined unit of partial decoding process;
• a decoding module configuration information analyzing part configured to analyze the encoded data according to the decoding module configuration information and to generate and output syntax parsing control information and connection control information;
• a decoding model generating part configured to generate target decoding modules and a decoding model by using the connection control information, the target decoding modules being needed for a decoding process of the encoded data, the decoding model indicating a connection relation between the target decoding modules;
• and
• a decode executing part configured to form a reconfigured decoder by loading and connecting the target decoding modules from the decoding module storing part by use of the decoding model and to syntax-parse and decode the encoded data according to the syntax parsing control information through the reconfigured decoder.

A method of adaptive decoding by an adaptive encoding apparatus to configure a decoding process adaptively based on a decoding format of inputted data, the method comprising:

• separating decoding module configuration information and encoded data from received inputted data;
• generating syntax parsing control information and connection control information on the encoded data by using the decoding module configuration information;
• forming a reconfigured decoder by loading and connecting at least one decoding module among a plurality of predetermined decoding modules according to the connection information;
• and
• syntax-parsing and decoding the encoded data by using the syntax parsing control information through the reconfigured decoder.
