    • PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
  • The embodiment of the present invention is explained, referring to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the moving picture coding apparatus of the present invention. The moving picture signal from [0025] camera 12 is combined, by combining circuit 50, with handwritten image signal from pen input 14. Then, combined image 52 as well as coding region information 53 for indicating a region to be coded is fed to motion compensative moving picture coding circuit 51.
  • Motion compensative moving [0026] picture coding circuit 51 deems that the region needless to be coded is the same as the latest frame.
  • FIG. 2 is an illustration for explaining [0027] coding region information 53. Moving picture includes coding region 60 and non-coding region 62 which is already coded.
  • Further, [0028] non-coding region 62 of the handwritten image includes coding region 61 which is newly written during one frame.
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram of motion compensative moving [0029] picture coding circuit 51. Combined image 52 is divided into, for example, blocks of 16×16 pixels, each of which is coded on the basis of coding region information 53 and the coded results are stored in buffer 82.
  • Skip [0030] block determination circuit 83 determines whether each block in combined image 52 is a skip block which is not to be coded. When a block is not a skip block, the block is coded by coding unit 84.
  • Moving [0031] vector detection unit 71 calculates a motion vector, by comparing combined image 52 with the latest frame in frame memory 78. Then, movement compensation circuit 79 generates predicted image 80 on the basis of the motion vector. Then, subtractor 72 calculates a difference between combined image and predicted image 80. The difference is processed by DCT circuit 73, quantization circuit 74 and variable length coding circuit 81, successively, and finally the output from variable length coding circuit 81 is stored into buffer 82. Further, the output from quantization circuit 74 is processed by inverse quantization circuit 75, inverse DCT circuit 76 and adder 77, succesively, and finally the output from adder is stored into frame memory 78.
  • On the other hand, when a skip block is found by skip [0032] block determination circuit 83, coding unit 84 copies in frame memory 78 the corresponding block in the latest frame. Therefore, any other circuits in coding unit 84 except frame memory 78 does not consume electric power.
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a transmitter of TV phone using the above-explained motion compensative moving picture coding circuit. Voice signal from microphone [0033] 10 is coded by voice coding circuit 11, while moving picture from camera 12 and handwritten image from pen input 14 are coded by moving picture coding circuit 90 including combining circuit 50 and motion compensative moving picture coding circuit 51. The output from voice coding circuit 11 and moving picture coding circuit 90 are multiplexed by multiplexer 16.
  • Here, when skip [0034] block determination circuit 83 determines a block to be non-coding region, that block may not be doomed to be the skip block, but may be doomed to be a block of motion vector “0”.
  • In this case, motion [0035] vector detection circuit 71 outputs a motion vector “0” and, afterward, other circuits in coding unit 84 work as usual.
  • Thus, [0036] coding unit 84 consumes less electric power, because motion vector detection circuit 71 consumes less power than usual.
  • Further, [0037] coding region information 53 may be one of threefold such as moving picture region, handwritten region without movement and handwritten region with movement. The moving picture region is coded conventionally, the handwritten region without movement is processed as a skip block, and the handwritten region with movement is processed as a region of motion vector “0”. In this case, the power consumption becomes less than in the case of embodiment 1. Further, degradation of image quality due to a spurious motion vector can be prevented.
  • Furthermore, [0038] coding region information 53 may be one of twofold such as moving picture region and handwritten region. The moving picture region is coded conventionally and the handwritten region is processed as a region of motion vector “0”. In this case, combining circuit 50 is simplified. Further, motion vector detection circuit 71 consumes less electric power, as embodiment 2. Further, degradation of image quality due to a spurious motion vector can be prevented as in embodiment 3.
