SOUND SIGNAL REFINEMENT METHOD, SOUND SIGNAL DECODE METHOD, APPARATUS THEREOF, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032536 titled 'SOUND SIGNAL REFINEMENT METHOD, SOUND SIGNAL DECODE METHOD, APPARATUS THEREOF, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The technology described in the patent application aims to enhance the quality of a decoded sound signal by utilizing a sound signal obtained from a different code. This is achieved by generating a purified common signal through signal purification using a monaural decoded sound signal, and then subtracting the upmixed decoded sound common signal from the decoded sound signal in each channel while adding the upmixed purified common signal. This process results in a purified decoded sound signal.

  • Signal purification using a monaural decoded sound signal
  • Subtracting the upmixed decoded sound common signal from the decoded sound signal in each channel
  • Adding the upmixed purified common signal to the decoded sound signal in each channel

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in audio processing systems, such as in music production, film post-production, and virtual reality audio, to enhance the quality of decoded sound signals.

Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided a technology that improves, in a case where there is a sound signal obtained from a different code that is different from a code from which a decoded sound signal is obtained and that is derived from the same sound signal, the decoded sound signal by using the sound signal obtained from the different code. A signal (hereinafter, referred to as a decoded sound common signal) obtained by downmixing a decoded sound signal of each channel is subjected to signal purification using a monaural decoded sound signal to thereby generate a purified common signal, and in each channel, a signal obtained by upmixing the decoded sound common signal is subtracted from the decoded sound signal and a signal obtained by upmixing the purified common signal is added thereto, to thereby generate a purified decoded sound signal.
