- a drive 32 is connected to the input / output interface 315 as necessary, and a magnetic disk 331, an optical disk 332, a magneto-optical disk 333, or a semiconductor memory 334 is provided.
- the computer programs read out from them are appropriately installed and installed in the storage unit 318 as needed.
- the programs that make up the software are installed in a computer that is built into dedicated hardware, or by installing various programs to perform various functions. It can be executed, for example, installed on a general-purpose personal computer from a network or a recording medium.
- this recording medium is a magnetic disk 33 1 (including a floppy disk) storing the program, which is distributed to supply the program to the user separately from the main unit.
- Optical disks 33 including CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory), DVDs (Digital Versatile Disk)), and magneto-optical disks 33 (MD (Mini-Disk) (trademark))
- steps to describe a program stored in a recording medium are not only performed in chronological order according to the order in which they are included, but are not necessarily performed in chronological order. Also includes the processing executed in In this specification, the term “system” refers to an entire device including a plurality of devices. Industrial applicability
- image data can be encoded.
- image data can be encoded.
- by obtaining information on coding and comparing it with the conditions for coding it is possible to select reusable information from the information on coding.
- image data can be converted, and at the time of encoding, information about the encoding is obtained by obtaining information about the encoding and comparing it with a condition about the encoding. Among them, reusable information can be selected.
