Understand from the following.仃 Temporal sequence-special examples can be installed 1 · Scanning encoder installed: The scanning process allows the system to confirm that the encoding device can be installed in hardware or software. During the scan process, the encoding module can call a "GetDevicecount" defined in the encoder manager of a known encoder driver. The implementation of this API can return the number of available encoding devices. The encoder manager also You can specify a unique "selector ID" for each encoding device, and please install it. The selector is pre-registered in the encoding module of each driver, but the device ID is determined at execution time. Therefore, any Any additions or removals of hardware or software coding devices can be automatically confirmed on this discovery process. It can also provide a logical list of coding devices, which can be obtained free of charge from special manufacturers or special system devices. 2 · Always available Encoder: As long as the system confirms the existence of the encoding device, program control or user communication can be used to create an instance of the encoder. The encoder manager can manage each certificate. Therefore, all control operations (allow, invalid, start, =, And restart) Calling function for heterogeneous encoding device: Transparent: 3 · Set / Get logical encoding parameters: Each encoding device is in encoding video / Sound bitstream has its own strength and format. However, the standard is set by the ITU, IS0, or the manufacturer. Although the setting is changed by the encoder, it is not actually changed.

Description of the invention (34) For example, some of the connector types are standard. The color adjustment of the image is a well-known coloring method. The sound adjustment is also a sound engineering standard. Therefore, the construction manager can define and manage A logical parameter group. These parameter conversions for special device settings can also be provided through the construction manager, so it is transparent to the call function and can be noted by the selector. 4. Application parameter changes: When parameter changes are subject to the encoding device In this case, the work of the encoder manager can conform to the construction manager. The configuration manager can convert the settings into the actual devices available on the target device. The encoder manager can apply the converted devices to the target device. In the encoder This logical functional separation between the manager and the construction manager ensures that the encoding module can be further expanded or reduced. In a reduced application, the application can have an array of predefined non-changeable parameters, an encoder in execution time The manager can use it directly. In this way, the application can be executed on the checked-in system or memory environment. 5 · Universal coded bit stream: The bit stream generation is one of the most important final results. However, due to the hardware or software implementation in the encoding device, the bits can be changed.-Some implementations require the installation of software response call functions in order to retrieve the data generated by the hardware in real time; other implementations are asynchronous software The event object 'encodes the validity of the data in real time by sending a letter.
