    摘要: Multi-channel audio signals are coded into a monaural audio signal and information allowing to recover the multi-channel audio signal from the monaural audio signal and the information. The information is generated by determining a first portion of the information for a first frequency region of the multi-channel audio signal, and by determining a second portion of the information for a second frequency region of the multi-channel audio signal. The second frequency region is a portion of the first frequency region and thus is a sub-range of the first frequency region. The information is multi-layered enabling a scaling of the decoding quality versus bit rate.

    摘要: Parametric stereo coders use perceptually relevant parameters of the input signal to describe spatial properties. One of these parameters is the phase difference between the input signals (ITD or IPD). This time difference only determines the relative time difference between the input signals, without any information about how these time differences should be divided over the output signals in the decoder. An additional parameter is included in the encoded signal that describes how the ITD or IPD should be distributed between the output channels. To this goal the delay between a computed monaural signal and one of the input signals is used.

    摘要: In binaural stereo coding, only one monaural channel is encoded. An additional layer holds the parameters to retrieve the left and right signal. An encoder is disclosed which links transient information extracted from the mono encoded signal to parametric multi-channel layers to provide increased performance. Transient positions can either be directly derived from the bit-stream or be estimated from other encoded parameters (e.g. window-switching flag in mp3).

    摘要: A data stream contains segments with reproducible signal data that has been encoded with a variable length encoding scheme. Each segment also contains first and second information about the length of the signal data in the segment, stored at predetermined relative positions with respect to the start and end of the signal data in the particular segment. During replay access locations are computed for accessing a next succeeding or preceding segment adjacent to a particular segment when a forward and backward direction of replay are selected respectively. The access location is computed from the first information from the particular segment or the second information from the adjacent segment that precedes the particular segment, dependent on whether the forward or backward direction is selected respectively.

    摘要: The invention relates to a signal encoding system (100). A pre-encoder (103) encodes a signal and generates a pre-encoded signal. In addition the pre-encoder (103) generates encoding assistance data which is stored in a signal storage (105) together with the pre-encoded signal. When the signal is retrieved from the signal storage (105), it is decoded in a decoder (111) and a watermark is inserted in the decoded signal to generate a watermarked signal. The watermarked signal is then re-encoded, possibly at a different encoding rate, in a re-encoder (117). The re-encoder (117) is operable to re-encode the watermarked signal in response to the encoding assistance data. Thus, encoding assistance data may be generated at encoding prior to storage and the encoding assistance data may be used to facilitate re-encoding of a watermarked signal when retrieved. The invention is particular advantageous for applications wherein pre-encoding is performed once whereas re-encoding is frequently performed, such as for example a client-server music download application.
