<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a decoder circuit and a decoding method which stably decodes one or a plurality of compressed image information while saving the buffer capacity. <P>SOLUTION: The decoder circuit comprises a first decoder 13 for decoding first received compressed image information to output image information, a second decoder 14 for decoding the first or second received compressed image information to output image information, a buffer 15 for storing the image information in memory areas, and a control unit 16 for controlling the first and second decoders so that when the first decoder decodes the compressed image information to output on a first output terminal (display system), using memory areas of a first capacity among the memory areas of the buffer. The second decoder decodes, according to a given designation signal, the first or second compressed image information to output (in a recording system), using memory areas of a second capacity smaller than the first capacity among the memory areas of the buffer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
