VERSCHLUESSELUNG UND ENTSCHLUESSELUNG VON MULTIMEDIADATEN

NOVELTY - The method involves inserting definition and multimedia code indices into the definition block, inserting a trigger index into the definition block identifying a decoder for the multimedia data for a defined period, selecting encoding algorithms based on the definition data, encoding the blocks and packing the multimedia data in a main definition data packet and a multimedia packet to produce an encoded data flow. The main definition packet contains the definition block's definition data encoding index. The multimedia data definition packet contains the definition block's multimedia encoding index. The multimedia data packet contains at least part of the multimedia data block USE - For encoding and decoding of multimedia data ADVANTAGE - Suitable for storage and communications of data in error-prone environments, e.g. networks DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - the drawing shows a fixed part of a definition data block
