APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DECODING DIGITAL IMAGE AND AUDIO SIGNALS
First Claim
1. An apparatus in which encoded signals representing an image and conveyed thereto in compressed and encrypted form on a storage medium are processed to enable display of the image, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage device configured to receive the storage medium; and
a decoder configured receive the compressed encrypted encoded signals from the storage medium, the decoder comprising;
a decryptor configured to decrypt the compressed encrypted encoded signals; and
a decompressor configured to receive the compressed encoded signals from the decryptor and to decompress the compressed encoded signals to enable display of the image.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for decoding of encoded signals representing at least image information from a storage medium is claimed. A storage device is configured to receive the storage medium. A decoder is configured receive the compressed encrypted encoded signals from the storage medium, and send the signals to a decryptor. The decryptor is configured to decrypt the compressed encrypted encoded signals, and send the signals to a decompressor. The decompressor is configured to receive the compressed encoded signals from the decryptor and to decompress the compressed encoded signals to enable display of the image.
