==ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515891 titled 'ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE, ENCODING METHOD, AND DECODING METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an encoding device that generates a common index by sorting reference indices of multiple reference images in a specific order to avoid including the same reference image. The device then encodes this common index.

* The index setting unit generates a common index by sorting reference indices of multiple reference images in a specific order.
* The encoding unit encodes the common index.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in image or video encoding systems where efficient referencing of multiple images is required.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Avoiding duplication of reference images in a common index.
2. Efficient sorting and encoding of reference indices for improved data processing.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved efficiency in referencing multiple images.
2. Enhanced encoding capabilities for better data compression.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimized image or video encoding systems for industries such as multimedia, surveillance, and broadcasting.

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to image or video encoding systems that optimize the referencing of multiple images to improve data compression and processing efficiency.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology compare to existing image or video encoding methods in terms of compression efficiency? ===
This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing methods in terms of compression efficiency. Further research or testing may be needed to determine the effectiveness of this technology in comparison to others.

=== What impact could this technology have on the speed of data processing in real-time applications? ===
The article does not address the potential impact of this technology on the speed of data processing in real-time applications. Additional testing or analysis may be required to evaluate its performance in real-time scenarios.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

According to an embodiment, an encoding device includes an index setting unit and an encoding unit. The index setting unit generates a common index in which reference indices of one or more reference images included in a first index and a second index are sorted in a combination so as not to include a same reference image in accordance with a predetermined scanning order. The first index representing a combination of the one or more reference images referred to by a first reference image. The second index representing a combination of the one or more reference images referred to by a second reference image. The encoding unit encodes the common index.
