Claim 8:
9. An apparatus of processing video data in a video coding system, the apparatus comprising one or more electronic circuits configured for:
receiving input data associated with a current block in a current slice;
determining whether one or more components of the current block satisfy one or more predefined criteria during partitioning;
applying a mode constraint to the current block only if the current block satisfy the one or more predefined criteria during partitioning, wherein the mode constraint restricts all blocks within the current block to be processed by a same prediction mode when the current block is split into a plurality of blocks;
adaptively splitting the current block into one or more blocks, wherein chroma components of the current block are not allowed to be further partitioned if a luma component of the current block is coded in non-inter prediction, and the chroma components of the current block are allowed to be further partitioned if the luma component of the current block is coded in inter prediction; and
encoding or decoding the current block with the mode constraint when the current block satisfy the one or more predefined criteria during partitioning or encoding or decoding the current block without the mode constraint when the current block do not satisfy the one or more predefined criteria during partitioning.
