Decoding device, decoding method, and program

A decoding method comprising

• decoding, by a processor, a plurality of pieces of encoded data on a basis of encoding method information that has been received, received bitstream data including the plurality of pieces of encoded data in which a plurality of segments of a tactile signal has been respectively encoded,
• wherein the encoding method information includes information indicating in which encoding method of a plurality of encoding methods the respective segments of the tactile signal have been encoded,
• the plurality of encoding methods includes a simple tactile encoding method corresponding to a simple tactile signal related to a beginning segment of the tactile signal, and
• the plurality of pieces of encoded data includes simple tactile encoded data in which the simple tactile signal has been encoded in the simple tactile encoding method,
• the decoding method further comprising decoding the simple tactile encoded data, in a case where the encoding method information indicates the simple tactile encoding method.

A program causing a computer to function as a decoding device, the decoding device comprising

• a decoding unit configured to decode a plurality of pieces of encoded data on a basis of encoding method information that has been received, received bitstream data including the plurality of pieces of encoded data in which a plurality of segments of a tactile signal has been respectively encoded,
• wherein the encoding method information includes information indicating in which encoding method of a plurality of encoding methods the respective segments of the tactile signal have been encoded,
• the plurality of encoding methods includes a simple tactile encoding method corresponding to a simple tactile signal related to a beginning segment of the tactile signal,
• the plurality of pieces of encoded data includes simple tactile encoded data in which the simple tactile signal has been encoded in the simple tactile encoding method, and
• the decoding unit decodes the simple tactile encoded data, in a case where the encoding method information indicates the simple tactile encoding method.
