Image encoding device and method
First Claim
1. An image encoding device for encoding the image data of one screen composed of a plurality of image slices that each correspond to pixels in horizontal arrays on the screen, comprising:
- a slice data selection unit for selecting the image data of a plurality of slices constituting the one screen in a specified slice order; and
an encoded slice data output unit for outputting the data of the plurality of selected and encoded image slices to the outside in an order corresponding to the specified order but in a slice order different from the specified order.

Abstract
An image encoding device for encoding the image data of one screen composed of a plurality of image slices that each correspond to pixels in horizontal arrays on the screen, comprising: a slice data selection unit for selecting the image data of a plurality of slices constituting the one screen in a specified slice order; and an encoded slice data output unit for outputting the data of the plurality of selected and encoded image slices to the outside in an order corresponding to the specified order but in a slice order different from the specified order.

7. An image multi-encoding system provided with two image encoding devices in which one screen is divided into an upper area and a lower area and each of the two image encoding devices encodes image data in one of the two areas, wherein
each of the two image encoding devices selects image slice data in a direction the reversal of each other, starting with a slice that is on the boundary of and included in both of the two divided areas, and encodes the image data.

8. An image encoding method for encoding the image data of one screen that is composed of a plurality of slices corresponding to horizontal arrays of pixels on the screen, comprising:
-
selecting the image data of a plurality of slices constituting the one screen in a specified slice order; and
outputting the plurality of selected and encoded image slice data to the outside in an order corresponding to the specified order but in a slice order different from the specified order.

9. A computer-readable portable storage medium on which is recorded a program for enabling a computer to encode the image data of one screen that is composed of a plurality of slices corresponding to pixels in horizontal arrays on the screen, comprising:
-
selecting the image data of a plurality of slices constituting the one screen in a specified slice order; and
outputting the plurality of selected and encoded image slice data externally in an order corresponding to the specified order but in a slice order different from the specified order.

10. An image encoding device for encoding the image data of one screen composed of a plurality of slices corresponding to pixels in horizontal arrays on the screen, comprising:
-
a selection unit for selecting a slice with a large amount of encoded data from the plurality of slices as a slice to process with a higher priority than a slice with a small amount of encoded data; and
an encoding unit for encoding image data in the slice selection order.
