The encoding device includes a means for storing the identification information of blocks, belonging to an invisible area in each picture and a means for encoding normal area blocks without referring to data concerned with the invisible area blocks and encoding the invisible area blocks so that the original image cannot be displayed in a normal manner without using key information. The decoding device includes a means for storing the identification information of the blocks, belonging to the invisible area and a means for decoding the image concerned with the invisible area blocks, by using the key information so as to display the original image, in a normal manner. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
