Abstract: The technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, a decoding device, a decoding method, and a program enabling encoding with favorable transmission efficiency with a controlled running disparity. A calculation section divides inputted data into N or M bits to calculate a first running disparity of an N or M bit data string. A determination section determines whether the data string is inverted based on the first running disparity calculated by the calculation section and a second running disparity calculated therebefore. An addition section inverts or non-inverts the data string based on a determination result by the determination section to add a flag indicating the determination result for outputting. The determination section determines not to perform inversion when the data string is a control code. The addition section adds the flag assigned to the control code. The technology is applicable to a device communicating in an SLVS-EC specification.

Abstract: The technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, a decoding device, a decoding method, and a program enabling encoding with favorable transmission efficiency with a controlled running disparity. There are provided: a calculation section dividing inputted data into N bits to calculate a first running disparity of a data string of the N bits; a determination section determining whether the data string of the N bits is inverted based on the first running disparity calculated by the calculation section and a second running disparity calculated at a time point before the first running disparity; and an addition section inverting or non-inverting the data string of the N bits based on a result of the determination by the determination section to add a flag indicating the result of the determination by the determination section for outputting. The technology is applicable to a device communicating in an SLVS-EC specification.

Abstract: Encoding devices, methods and programs that encode with high transmission efficiency by controlling a running disparity are disclosed. In one example, an encoding device includes a scrambling circuit that scrambles an input data string, a calculation circuit that calculates a first running disparity of the scrambled data string, a determination circuit that determines whether or not to invert the scrambled data string on the basis of a first running disparity calculated by the calculation circuit and a second running disparity calculated at a time point before the first running disparity, and an addition circuit that inverts or non-inverts the scrambled data string on the basis of a determination result by the determination circuit, adds a flag indicating the determination result, and outputs the data string. The technology can be applied to devices that perform SLVS-EC standard communication.
