Abstract

Firmware or software does nontrivial peripheral tasks related to JPEG or like de/coding; hardware (best an ASIC, 17, 27) does central intensive computation (61). Peripheral tasks (55) best include parsing (57) headers and footers, applying (59) the results to configure the hardware, and sorting images (83) in a data stream. Central computation best includes color-space transformation (91); YCC separation (92); transforms (93), e.q. discrete-co-sine; applying (94) a quality factor to transform-output components to effect compression (i.e. discriminating detail of chromatic information in the data); scaling and other geometry (95, 65); moving, storing and retrieving pixel-content (66); or DMA. The codec is most useful if file format is not standard, put out by plural vendors or in plural variants or versions or extensions (56); peripheral tasks best include those that vary. Preferably the firmware or software is in a programmed processor (14, 24) in a printer, or in a general-purpose computer or RIP. Data may be image signals (50) from a camera, scanner or other sensor; or terrain data (53) from a mapper, or other image-like data not requiring precise read-back. Data may come directly (52) from a sensor without headers; or as a complete file (51) from a disc or by transfer e.q. from a network. The modifiable stage best passes compressed data (13, 23); the unmodifiable stage, uncompressed (18, 28). Preferably the former can be field updated by a user, as by code download (81) from a network e.q. the Web.

Description of the invention (4) Inconvenient. Although this issue is not significant in terms of typical individual files, collective consideration of such issues constitutes a major cost and obstacle to the processing of all such data. The ideal JPEG encoding and decoding technology has two aspects of execution quality: the speed and economy of hardware-based encoding and decoding plus the flexibility of software processing and the ability to upgrade. But the industry is not aware of any such solution. This unsolved approach continues to hinder the achievement of fast, reliable, accurate, and economical encoding and decoding, which can adapt to the changes in business practices. Thus, the technology in the field of the present invention needs to be further improved. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention introduces such improvements. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention has several features that can be used independently. In a preferred embodiment in which the yarn is optimally combined, the invention is a method for encoding or decoding imitation image data. , ^ Method. The method includes the steps of performing peripheral housekeeping functions related to encoding or decoding in the firmware or software. The present invention is also included in the steps of hardly performing the intensive encoding or decoding process. For the purposes of this document, "peripheral functions" performed on models or software are defined as a wide range of operations that require a significant amount of computation or data evaluation. In other words, it is not simply a trivial operation, but rather a meaningful sharing of encoding or decoding between hardware on the one hand and primitive or software on the other. To compare extreme cases, for example, previous systems had application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) including software or objects to operate their setup single-bit activation ASK> this operation and similarly unreasonably slightly larger range operations A7

Those in the industry will understand this allocation more clearly from the examples described below. The following description or definition of the first particular aspect of the broadest or most general form of the invention. However, even in this general form, this feature of the present invention can significantly improve the unresolved difficulties in the industry. In particular, the encoding and decoding using the archives of the present invention can be done in the most ideal way. Special: (1) The core processing can be performed at high speed and high processing efficiency; at the same time, it can be easily and cheaply upgraded to support functions in the greatest economic need. These advantages are firstly based on the extremely fast and highly specialized hardware based on central processing, especially the most repetitive and most frequently required steps, and the most stable steps in nature. For its part, the second advantage comes from using a more accessible and upgradeable program as a support step. The latter includes, for example, that each step is often performed only once by each image building case, = each material is executed once or each pixel block or pixel strip inside the image is different. Peripheral or support procedures include, in particular, steps that change the format of the profession or steps that change between equipment or software vendors. Although this convenience of the present invention represents a major advancement in the industry in a broad sense, it is better to implement a progressive effect in combination with several other features or characteristics.

Description of the invention (8) or a method for decoding JPEG resources. This method includes steps to perform peripheral housekeeping functions related to JPEG encoding or decoding in the body or software. It is to be understood that the reference to the term "peripheral butler function" has the same definition as previously discussed in relation to the first characteristic aspect of the present invention. Another step of the method is that the hardware performs a central JPEG encoding or decoding process. The central processing of the JPEG building case has been clearly established and is generally consistent across different versions, changes and extensions of different vendors. Although the actual contents of the peripheral functions are still changed even in the JPEG file, the general characteristics of the peripheral processing and the information to be processed are generally consistent. In terms of JPEG files, the consistency is even higher than the general files discussed earlier. In particular, as suggested by the first characteristic aspect of the present invention, these processes include parsing and interpreting file headers and footnotes and a number of other threshold parameters. The text constitutes the description or definition of the second aspect of the broadest or most general form of the invention. However, even in this general form, it can be seen that the present invention significantly improves the unsolved difficulties in the industry. In particular, the advantages of the second characteristic aspect of the present invention are substantially the same as those described above for the first characteristic aspect, but are more worthwhile in terms of the widespread use and popularity of the JPEG format. As mentioned earlier, the problem of these files is considered one file at a time. Although the day-to-day talents may not be serious, they are economically troublesome to gather together. Although the second characteristic aspect of the present invention represents a major progress in the industry in a broad sense, it is better to combine several other characteristics or features to further improve the overall efficiency. This situation can be applied to the preferred preferences which are closely similar to those discussed above with respect to the first characteristic aspect of the invention.

Description of the invention (Π) In this case, of course, the user must connect the system to the telephone line and provide any required outside line prefixes, etc. . In other examples, the code body or software of the codec system can be updated through the dial-up network and global information network access features of the general-purpose computer connected to the device. 2. Data movement In the most highly preferred embodiment, the uncompressed data 8 and 28 use direct memory access within the hardware modules 17, 27 (8) to pass. However, the compressed data 13, 23 pass under the firmware control 14, 24. If the compression system used obtains a very high compression factor, such as using JPEG and TIFF formats, the compressed data is much smaller than the uncompressed data. As a result, the compressed data does not need such a large data bus bandwidth. Typical compressed data transfer rates can be one-quarter to one-tenth or less of the bandwidth required to transmit uncompressed image data (for medium to high-quality images). Compressed data 13, 23 can catch up with uncompressed video data 18, 28 when passing through lower firmware transfer rates. This method requires only a DMA controller, which saves costs and design time. The processing of compressed data is kept simple and flexible under firmware control. The first DMA control can also be used to compress the data, but on the one hand may waste higher bandwidth. On the other side, since the DMA operation on the hardware is more streamlined, it is more economical in terms of the "area" of the silicon chip, and therefore has better overall economic benefits. 3.
