Abstract: A computing device performs a method of decoding video data by acquiring a video bitstream including data associated with multiple encoded pictures, each picture including multiple rows of coding tree units (CTUs) and each CTU including one or more coding units (CUs). A data buffer storing a plurality of history-based motion vector predictors is used for encoding the rows of CTUs and the decoding process resets the buffer before decoding a first CU of a current row of CTUs. For a current CU of the row of CTUs, a motion vector candidate list is constructed from exploiting spatial and temporal correlation of motion vectors of neighbouring code units as well as the history-based motion vector predictors in the buffer. Finally, one motion vector predictor is selected, from the motion vector candidate list, for decoding the current CU and the buffer is updated based on the selected one.

Then, the computing device outputs the set of target words and an identifier of the target object in an associated manner. In this way, the credibility of the target object associated with the text that is determined by the information processing method is improved, thereby improving the user experience of the information processing method.

In accordance with a determination that the ratio exceeds a threshold step-down ratio, a battery charge voltage is stepped down. The rechargeable battery is charged to a step-down voltage.
