APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTING VIDEO DECODING COMPLEXITY, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
First Claim
1. An apparatus for dynamically adjusting video decoding complexity, the apparatus comprising:
- a decoding resolution control circuit arranged to dynamically determine whether at least one portion of a plurality of frames should be decoded by at least one decoding circuit operating in accordance with a specific resolution differing from all of intended resolution of the plurality of frames, without comparing the intended resolution with a display resolution of a display module, wherein the at least one decoding circuit starts decoding encoded frame data of the at least one portion of the plurality of frames before decoded frame data of the at least one portion of the plurality of frames is generated; and
a single adaptive spatial resolution decoder circuit comprising the at least one decoding circuit and arranged to decode the plurality of frames according to whether the at least one portion of the plurality of frames should be decoded by the at least one decoding circuit operating in accordance with the specific resolution, wherein the single adaptive spatial resolution decoder circuit omits partial information received to be processed by the single adaptive spatial resolution decoder circuit when the at least one portion of the plurality of frames is decoded in accordance with the specific resolution.

Abstract
An apparatus for dynamically adjusting video decoding complexity includes a decoding resolution control circuit and an adaptive spatial resolution decoder. The decoding resolution control circuit is arranged to dynamically determine whether at least one portion of multiple frames should be decoded in accordance with a specific resolution differing from an original resolution of the frames. In addition, the adaptive spatial resolution decoder is arranged to decode the frames according to whether the at least one portion of the frames should be decoded in accordance with the specific resolution. In particular, the apparatus further includes a system capability analyzing circuit arranged to analyze system capability of at least a portion of the apparatus, in order to generate analyzing results for being sent to the decoding resolution control circuit. An associated method is also provided.
