<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a processing load within a unit time by utilizing necessary encoding management information among a plurality of image encoding processes. <P>SOLUTION: An image input 102 inputs recorded images in a subsequent stage. An encoder 103 has a plurality of image encoding functions, encodes the images, and generates encoding data and the encoding management information. A control unit 105 controls, based on the encoding management information generated by one of the image encoding functions incorporated in the encoder 103, other image encoding functions incorporated in the encoder 103. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
