MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647095374 A) filed by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Zur Frderung Der on August 06, 2026, for Block Partitioning Of A Digital Time-Varying Signal.
Inventors include Pfaff, Jonathan; Kirchhoffer, Heiner; Helmrich, Christian; Pientka, Sophie; Rudat, Christian; Schwarz, Heiko; Marpe, Detlev; and Wiegand, Thomas.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: A decoder for decoding a digital time-varying signal from a data stream is presented. The decoder is configured to decode the digital time-varying signal from the data stream in temporal blocks; and decoding length information from the data stream which indicates, for each temporal block, a selected block length out of a set of block lengths, wherein the decoder is configured to decode the length information from the data stream by decoding from the data stream, for a predetermined temporal block, a variable-length binarization of a block length parameter comprised by the length information, and determining the selected block length for the predetermined temporal block based on the block length parameter, so that, for any two block lengths in the set of block lengths, a first bin string of the block length parameter resulting in the determination of a shorter block length of the predetermined temporal block among the two block lengths, is longer, or equally long, than a second bin string of the block length parameter resulting in the determination of a longer block length of the predetermined temporal block among the two block sizes. Additionally, encoder, method, data stream and computer program are presented.
