Description

  The present invention relates to a speech encoding method, speech decoding method, and speech signal transmission method for compressing a multi-channel speech signal with a variable length.

As a method of compressing an audio signal with a variable length, the present inventor has proposed an earlier application (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-28915).
9), a plurality of linear prediction values of the current signal are calculated from a past signal in the time domain by a plurality of predictors having different characteristics with respect to one channel of the original digital audio signal, A prediction encoding method is proposed in which a prediction residual for each predictor is calculated from a plurality of linear prediction values, and a minimum value of the prediction residual is selected.

In the above method, a certain degree of compression effect can be obtained when the original digital audio signal has a sampling frequency = 96 kHz and the number of quantization bits = 20 bits.
In the D audio disc, this doubled sampling frequency (= 192 kHz) is used, and the number of quantization bits tends to be 24 bits, so it is necessary to improve the compression rate. In addition, the sampling frequency and the number of quantization bits in multichannel may be different for each channel.

By the way, since a compression method such as the predictive coding method has a variable compression rate (VBR: variable bit rate), when a multi-channel audio signal is predictively encoded, the amount of data for each channel greatly changes over time. To do. When such data is transmitted, it is transmitted as a data stream instead of parallel for each channel.

Therefore, in order to enable reproduction (presentation) of such a variable length data stream in synchronization with each channel on the reproduction side (decoding side), the data stream stored in the input buffer is read and output to the decoder. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the decoding time indicating the timing for the output and the reproduction time indicating the timing for reading the decoded data accumulated in the output buffer and outputting (presenting) the data to a speaker or the like. Further, the playback side must manage the time for searching and playing back such a variable length data stream.

Therefore, the present invention provides an audio encoding method, an audio decoding method, and an audio signal transmission method capable of managing the processing time on the playback side when encoding a multi-channel audio signal with a variable compression rate. Objective.

When the variable rate bit stream data predictively encoded by the encoding units 2′-1, 2′-2 shown in FIG. 2 is recorded on a DVD audio disk as an example of a recording medium,
It is packed in an audio (A) pack shown in FIG. This pack has 2034 bytes of user data (A packet, V packet), 4 bytes of pack start information, and 6
Byte (SCR) (System Clock Reference) information, 3-byte Mux rate information, and 1-byte stuffing total 14-byte pack header are added (1 pack = 2048 bytes in total).

The stream data (predicted residual data string) separated by the deformatting circuit 21 is taken and stored in the input buffer 22a for each access unit by the SCR as shown in FIG. Here, the data amount of one access unit is, for example, fs = 96 kHz.
In the case of (1) / (96 kHz) seconds, the length is variable as shown in detail in FIGS. Then, the stream data stored in the input buffer 22a is read out by the FIFO based on the DTS and applied to the unpacking circuit 22.

When the variable rate bit stream data predictively encoded by the encoding units 2′-1 and 2′-2 shown in FIG. 2 is transmitted via the network, the encoding side uses the transmission unit as shown in FIG. (Step S41), then a packet header is added (step S42), and then the packet is sent out on the network (step S43).

As shown in FIG. 11A, the decoding side removes the header (step S51), then restores the data (step S52), then stores this data in the memory and waits for decoding (step S53). When decoding is performed, as shown in FIG. 11B, deformatting is performed (step S61), input / output control of the input buffer 22a is performed (step S62), and then unpacking is performed (step S61). S63). At this time, if there is a search reproduction instruction, the search pointer is decoded. Next, the predictor is selected and decoded based on the flag (step S64), then the input / output control of the output buffer 110 is performed (step S65), and then the original multi-channel is restored (step S66). This is repeated (step S67).

In the above embodiment, 2ch “1” and “2” related to the front group are set to “1” = Lf + Rf.

The data is converted into n types of 6ch signals “1” to “6” having different correlations.

For example, the first correlation circuit 1-1 converts as follows:
“1” = Lf
“2” = C− (Ls + Rs) / 2
“3” = Rf−Lf
“4” = Ls−a × Lfe
“5” = Rs−b × Rf
“6” = Lfe
The n-th correlation circuit 1-n converts as follows.

“1” = Lf + Rf
“2” = C−Lf
“3” = Rf−Lf
“4” = Ls−Lf
“5” = Rs−Lf
“6” = Lfe-C
Further, a prediction circuit 15 and a buffer / selector 16 are provided for each of the correlation circuits 1-1 to 1-n.
