Abstract
Abstract When forming a data block which includes both an image code obtained by carrying out variable length coding for each of plural regions resulting from dividing each picture provided by an image signal, and added information associated therewith, boundary information indicative of a position, in the data block, of the boundary between the image codes in two adjacent regions of the divided regions is added to the data block. There are also formed in the data block a first error detection or correction code to make up a code word which includes the boundary code, but does not include the image code, and a second error detection or correction code to make up a code word which includes both the image code and the boundary code. Alternatively, in the block which includes main information and added information associated with the main information in time series there are formed a first error detection or correction code to make up a code word which does not include the main information, but includes both the added information and a first check bit, and a second error detection or correction code to make up a code word which does not include the first check bit, but includes the added information, the main information and a second check bit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
An image signal coding device, comprising: (a) coding means for carrying out variable length coding for each of plural regions resulting from dividing each picture provided by an image signal, and outputting image codes; (b) block forming means for forming a data block which includes the image codes; (c) boundary forming means for forming boundary information indicative of a position, in the data block, of the boundary between the image codes in each two adjacent regions of the divided regions, the boundary information being added to the data block; and (d) error detection or correction coding means for forming, in the data block, a first error detection or correction check code, with respect to the boundary information, which does not include the image codes, and a second error detection or correction check code with respect to the image codes and the boundary information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
An image signal coding device, comprising: (a) coding means for carrying out variable length coding for each of plural regions resulting from dividing each picture provided by an image signal, and outputting image codes; (b) block forming means for forming a data block which includes the image codes; (c) boundary forming means for forming boundary information indicative of a position, in the data block, of the boundary between the image codes in each two adjacent regions of the divided regions, the boundary information being added to the data block; and (d) error detection or correction coding means for forming, in the data block, a first error detection or correction check code, with respect to the boundary information, which does not include the image codes, and a second error detection or correction check code with respect to the image codes and the boundary information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein the image code in each said data block comprises a plurality of hutches, and said boundary information indicates the position in said data block in units of hutch.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A device according to claim 2, wherein said block forming means adds indefinite bits to one of the hutches belonging to each region so that the image code in each region becomes an integer time a capacity of each hutch for containing the image code, and said boundary information indicates the position of said hutch, including said indefinite bits, in said data block.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said first error detection or correction check code is an error detection check code and said second error detection or correction check code is an error correction check code.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
A device according to claim 4, wherein said first error detection or correction check code is a cyclic redundancy check code.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said second error detection or correction check code is arranged not including a check bit for said first error detection or correction check code.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said second error detection or correction check code is arranged including a check bit for said first error detection or correction check code.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
98 words
An error detection or correction code coding device, comprising: (a) block forming means for forming a data block which includes main information and added information associated with the main information in time series; (b) first means for forming, in the data block, a first error detection or correction check code, with respect to the added information, which does not include main information; and (c) second means for forming a second error detection or correction check code, with respect to the main information and the added information, which does not include the first error detection or correction check code.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
98 words
An error detection or correction code coding device, comprising: (a) block forming means for forming a data block which includes main information and added information associated with the main information in time series; (b) first means for forming, in the data block, a first error detection or correction check code, with respect to the added information, which does not include main information; and (c) second means for forming a second error detection or correction check code, with respect to the main information and the added information, which does not include the first error detection or correction check code.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
36 words
A device according to claim 8, wherein said first error detection or correction check code is an error detection check code and said second error detection or correction check code is an error correction check code.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
