Stereo Encoding Method and Stereo Encoder - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461641 titled 'Stereo Encoding Method and Stereo Encoder

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for encoding stereo audio signals. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method starts by obtaining a channel combination encoding solution for a current frame of stereo audio signals.
  • Next, a quantized channel combination ratio factor is determined for the current frame, along with an encoding index for the quantized ratio factor.
  • The goal is to ensure that the primary and secondary channel signals obtained from the encoding process meet the characteristics of the current frame.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Audio encoding and decoding systems
  • Multimedia devices and applications
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality platforms
  • Broadcasting and streaming services

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient encoding of stereo audio signals
  • Maintaining the characteristics of the current frame in the encoded signals
  • Achieving a balance between primary and secondary channel signals

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved audio quality and fidelity
  • Reduced data size for storage and transmission
  • Enhanced user experience in multimedia applications
  • Compatibility with various audio playback systems


Original Abstract Submitted

In a stereo encoding method, a channel combination encoding solution of a current frame is first obtained, and then a quantized channel combination ratio factor of the current frame and an encoding index of the quantized channel combination ratio factor are obtained based on the obtained channel combination encoding solution, so that an obtained primary channel signal and secondary channel signal of the current frame meet a characteristic of the current frame.
