Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:
parsing a general merge flag from a bitstream;
parsing prediction information from the bitstream based on the general merge flag;
generating prediction samples of a current block based on the prediction information; and
generating reconstructed samples based on the prediction samples,
wherein the bitstream includes an enabled flag for a partitioning mode in which prediction is performed by dividing the current block into two partitions,
wherein a regular merge flag is included in the prediction information based on values of the general merge flag and the enabled flag for the partitioning mode, and
wherein the regular merge flag is included in the prediction information based on the value of the general merge flag being equal to 1, and the value of the enabled flag for the partitioning mode being equal to 1.
