Abstract:
A video encoding apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is used to process a sequence of frames of video data and each frame comprises a plurality of processing blocks. The apparatus comprises a skip decision circuit and an encoder. The skip decision circuit generates a control signal according to a similarity checking result and a comparison result between a first quantization parameter for a first processing block from a current frame and a second quantization parameter for a second processing block from a previous frame. The encoder encodes the first processing block to generate an encoded bit stream and the first quantization parameter. The second processing block resides at the same location in the previous frame as the first processing block in the current frame.

Claim (Index 42):
The system according to  claim 38 , further comprising:\n a bitstream formatting circuit coupled to the encoder for setting a first skip flag and determining whether to assemble the first encoded bit stream along with the first skip flag into a first formatted bit stream according to the control signal, wherein if the control signal indicates the first processing block is skipped, the bitstream formatting circuit assembles the first skip flag without the first encoded bit stream into the first formatted bit stream; and wherein if the control signal indicates the first processing block is not skipped, the bitstream formatting circuit assembles the first skip flag and the first encoded bit stream into the first formatted bit stream.
