Claim Text:
1. A method of determining a motion vector, the method comprising: splitting a picture into a plurality of maximum coding units according to information about a maximum size of a coding unit; obtaining, from a bitstream, split information indicating whether to divide a coding unit into smaller coding units, in a maximum coding unit among the plurality of maximum coding units; determining at least one coding unit which is not split any more based on the split information, and determining partitions from the at least one coding unit; obtaining, from the bitstream, information about a data area for parallel motion prediction in a maximum coding unit among the plurality of maximum coding units; determining a data area using the information about a data area; when the data area includes a current partition among the partitions and a neighboring block of the current partition, determining the neighboring block as an unavailable block; and generating a motion vector of the current partition using a motion vector of a block among motion vector prediction candidate blocks excluding the unavailable block, wherein the neighboring block is previously decoded according to a decoding order and the current partition and the neighboring block are not included in one coding unit, wherein the determining partitions from the at least one coding unit comprises, when the split information indicates a non-split for a coding unit among the at least one coding unit which is not split any more, determining the partitions by dividing the coding unit, and inter prediction is performed on the partitions, and wherein when the split information indicates a non-split for a coding unit among the at least one coding unit which is not split any more, transformation units are determined by dividing the coding unit, and inverse-transformation is performed on the transformation units.
