Abstract

A stream data reproducing system comprising: an input buffer configured to accumulate stream data input from a stream source; a decode circuit configured to decode the stream data accumulated in the input buffer by predetermined processing unit to generate decode data; an output buffer configured to output the decode data after accumulation thereof; a transfer memory cell configured to store the stream data accumulated in the input buffer and the decode data generated in the decode core circuit; and a data transfer control circuit configured to control transfer of the stream data by the processing unit from the input buffer to the transfer memory cell, and transfer of the decode data by the processing unit from the transfer memory cell to the output buffer.

Claims (36)

1. A stream data reproducing system comprising:

an input buffer configured to accumulate stream data input from a stream source;

a decoder core circuit configured to decode the stream data accumulated in the input buffer to generate decoded data;

an output buffer configured to output the decoded data after accumulation thereof;

a transfer memory cell configured to store the stream data accumulated in the input buffer and the decoded data generated in the decoder core circuit; and

a data transfer control circuit configured to control transfer of the stream data from the input buffer to the transfer memory cell, and transfer of the decoded data from the transfer memory cell to the output buffer, the data transfer control circuit further comprising:

a buffer read circuit configured to read out the stream data from the input buffer;

a transfer region write circuit configured to write the stream data read out from the buffer read circuit into the transfer memory cell;

a transfer region read circuit configured to read out the decoded data from the transfer memory cell;

a buffer write circuit configured to write the decoded data read out by the transfer region read circuit into the output buffer; and

a main control circuit configured to control the buffer read circuit, the transfer region write circuit, the transfer region read circuit, and the buffer write circuit, wherein

the main control circuit receives a command for transferring of the stream data from the decoder core circuit and outputs a first transfer mode flag for providing notification of transfer start of the stream data for the buffer read circuit and the transfer region write circuit, and wherein

the transfer region write circuit writes the stream data read out by the buffer read circuit in a predetermined transfer size into the transfer memory cell according to the first transfer mode flag, and thereafter outputs a first transfer completion flag for resetting the first transfer mode flag.

2. The stream data reproducing system of claim 1 , further comprising

a plurality of the transfer memory cells, wherein

the data transfer control circuit selects any one of the plurality of the transfer memory cells as a transfer destination of the stream data or a transfer source of the decoded data.

3. The stream data reproducing system of claim 2 , wherein

the plurality of the transfer memory cells are accessed by the decoder core circuit as data memory during a period except when transfer of the stream data or transfer of the decoded data is performed.

4. A stream data reproducing system, comprising:

an input buffer configured to accumulate stream data input from a stream source;

a decoder core circuit configured to decode the stream data accumulated in the input buffer to generate decoded data;

an output buffer configured to output the decoded data after accumulation thereof;

a transfer memory cell configured to store the stream data accumulated in the input buffer and the decoded data generated in the decoder core circuit; and

a data transfer control circuit configured to control transfer of the stream data from the input buffer to the transfer memory cell, and transfer of the decoded data from the transfer memory cell to the output buffer, the data transfer control circuit further comprising:

a buffer read circuit configured to read out the stream data from the input buffer;

a transfer region write circuit configured to write the stream data read out from the buffer read circuit into the transfer memory cell;

a transfer region read circuit configured to read out the decoded data from the transfer memory cell;

a buffer write circuit configured to write the decoded data read out by the transfer region read circuit into the output buffer; and

a main control circuit configured to control the buffer read circuit, the transfer region write circuit, the transfer region read circuit, and the buffer write circuit,

wherein the main control circuit receives a command for transferring of the decoded data from the decoder core circuit, and outputs a second transfer mode flag for providing notification of transfer start of the decoded data for the transfer region read circuit and the buffer write circuit, and wherein

the transfer region read circuit reads out the decoded data from the transfer memory cell in a predetermined transfer size, to be written into the output buffer by the buffer write circuit, according to the second transfer mode flag, and thereafter outputs a second transfer completion flag for resetting the second transfer mode flag.

5. The stream data reproducing system of claim 4 , further comprising

a plurality of the transfer memory cells, wherein

the data transfer control circuit selects any one of the plurality of the transfer memory cells as a transfer destination of the stream data or a transfer source of the decoded data.

6. The stream data reproducing system of claim 5 , wherein

the plurality of the transfer memory cells are accessed by the decoder core circuit as data memory during a period except when transfer of the stream data or transfer of the decoded data is performed.
