Abstract
In a device including a processor and a memory in communication with the processor, the memory includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of dividing a video image into a plurality of encoding blocks, the video image including a sharing-protected portion; adjusting, based on a size or location of the sharing-protected portion, a configuration of the encoding blocks such that the sharing-protected portion is divided into a smaller number of the encoding blocks; individually encoding, based on the adjusted configuration of the encoding blocks, the encoding blocks; and transmitting, to a remote device via a communication network, the individually encoded encoding blocks.
