4. The system of claim 3 wherein the library includes a first storage device which contains the set of generic objects.
3. A direct broadcast satellite system for encoding a signal into a bit stream, the signal representing of data including data representing at least one object, the system comprising: a segment selector for selecting feature quantities of a data information signal from aural or visual information signals; an object encoder with a generic object library, said library assigning a symbolic code to a generic object portion contained in the at least one object frame, wherein the symbolic code identifies a corresponding generic object from a set of generic objects in said generic object library, and a second library coupled to the object encoder containing a personalized signal portion computed as the generalized difference signal between said generic object portion and said data information signal; a processor combining said personalized signal portion and said generic object portion.
