Abstract
Systems and methods for encoding and decoding are disclosed. The systems and methods include multimedia decoder instantiation systems and multimedia processing engines which are capable of being upgraded or reconfigured to support a new or previously-unsupported compression format, without the need for platform-specific software or hardware upgrades.
Claims31
A multimedia processing engine comprising:
- an encoding decision component that determines an encoding functionality for encoding multimedia data based on at least one parameter;
- a decoding decision component that determines a decoding functionality corresponding to the encoding functionality;
- an encoder configured to encode the multimedia data using the determined encoding functionality;
- and
- a processing unit configured to prepare the encoded multimedia data and the determined decoding functionality for communication to the decoder.
2 more elements
A multimedia processing engine comprising:
- a functionality interpreter configured to:
- receive data corresponding to one or more functionalities;
- generate the one or more functionalities based on the data;
- and
- instantiate a decoding algorithm using the one or more functionalities;
- and
- a decoder configured to:
- receive multimedia data;
- receive the decoding algorithm from the functionality interpreter;
- and
- decode multimedia data using the decoding algorithm.
8 more elements
A multimedia decoding instantiation system, comprising:
- a functionality interpreter configured to receive configuration codewords and interpret the received codewords;
- an instantiation module configured to instantiate a decoder in response to the received codewords;
- a decoding module configured to decode received multimedia data, wherein said decoding is based on the interpreted codewords.
