Abstract
A method and apparatus for transferring a data signal includes a transmitter having an encoder and a receiver having a decoder. The encoder includes a segment selector for identifying a signal segment from a group of speech, audio, video and graphic signals, each selected segment comprising a representation of an information quantity. The encoder includes a plurality of encoder libraries, one of the libraries containing a generic representation corresponding to the information quantity and a symbolic code corresponding to the object. The decoder has a second plurality of libraries corresponding to the plurality of encoder libraries, and one of the decoder libraries generates the information quantity as output in response to matching of the symbolic code transmitted from the encoder.

2. A system for encoding a signal into a bit stream, the signal representative of data including data representing at least one a priori generic object in at least one frame, the system comprising:
-
an object selector for selecting feature quantities of a data information signal from aural or visual information signals that relate closely to said at least one a priori generic object;
an object encoder with an object library, said library assigning a symbolic code to said at least one a priori generic object contained in the at least one object frame, wherein the symbolic code identifies said at least one a priori generic object from a set of generic objects in said library;
an unrecognized signal portion input to the object encoder; and
a multiplexer which provides a bit stream based upon combining the unrecognized signal portion input and the symbolic code identifying said a priori generic object. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method of encoding a signal representative of a sequence of at least one feature from an aural or visual signal representation into a bit stream,the method comprising the steps of:
-
segmenting said sequence into generic objects and unrecognized features;
assigning a symbolic code to a generic object contained in the at least one feature, wherein the symbolic code identifies a corresponding generic object from a set of a priori generic objects; and

-
a demultiplexer which extracts said symbolic code and said code for unrecognized information from the encoded video signal, wherein the symbolic code identifies a corresponding generic object from a set of a priori generic objects; and
