AUDIO COMPRESSION FOR LOW OVERHEAD DECOMPRESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240331710 titled 'AUDIO COMPRESSION FOR LOW OVERHEAD DECOMPRESSION
The abstract describes a system that includes an audio compression device. This device receives pulse code modulated (PCM) samples, quantizes them, and determines time windows for the quantized PCM samples. It then calculates delta bits and sample counts for each time window, encodes the samples based on the difference from previous samples, and generates a stream of delta bits.
- The audio compression device quantizes PCM samples and organizes them into time windows.
- It calculates delta bits and sample counts for each time window.
- The device encodes the samples based on the difference from previous samples to generate a stream of delta bits.
- It encodes the sample count and delta bits in a corresponding header for each time window.
