Claim Text:
1. A method of deriving a motion vector predictor (MVP) for a motion, vector (MV) of a current block in Inter, or Merge, or Skip mode, the method being executed by a processor and comprising: receiving motion vectors (MVs) associated with reference blocks of the current block, wherein the reference blocks comprise at least one neighboring reference block of the current block; determining a spatial search set, wherein the spatial search set comprises at least two spatial search MVs with spatial priorities for the at least one neighboring reference block, wherein said at least two spatial search MVs for the at least one neighboring reference block are configured into spatial search MV groups, and wherein each of the spatial search MV groups consists of at least one of said at least two spatial search MVs for the at least one neighboring reference block; determining whether a first available spatial MV exists for each of the spatial search MV groups according to a spatial search order for the spatial search MV groups, wherein said determining whether a first available spatial MV exists moves to a next spatial search MV group if the first available spatial MV does not exist; and providing the first available spatial MV as a spatial MVP for the current block, wherein a process of redundancy check is performed after the spatial MVP and at least another MVP are derived.
