This is a characteristic of hearing and generally has high sensitivity to gain ratio information. Depending on the bit rate of compression and the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be handled, the number of pieces of phase difference information and the number of pieces of gain ratio information may not be the same.
- phase polarity information up to about 1 kHz is not stored for a band higher than the stored power. Also, if the compression bit rate is low, no phase polarity information is stored. This is due to the fact that the sensitivity of phase polarity information is not so high in auditory characteristics. Of course, when there is room in the compression bit rate, it is better to store it across the entire frequency band. Sound quality, needless to say.

Because they are stored in the stream, gain ratio information can be obtained by extracting them.
- the third encoded data is a value representing the phase difference for each frequency band between the original signals of the two channels, and as shown in FIG. Since they are stored, phase difference information can be obtained by taking them out.
- FIG. 4 shows an example of the state of the gain ratio D and the phase difference ⁇ ⁇ . Since the downmix signal is a signal in the direction of the diagonal of a parallelogram having two arrows representing the original signal on two sides, the phase difference ⁇ and j8 between the downmix signal and each original signal is shown in FIG. It appears in the place shown in.

- the phase rotator determination unit 102 determines the phase rotation angles oc and ⁇ .
- the values of the phase rotation angles a and ⁇ themselves are not necessary. Since it is necessary to use a rotor e ja and e ⁇ j /? Or their conjugate complex numbers e ⁇ j “and e j /? It is necessary to obtain the following trigonometric function values, and conversely, it is sufficient to obtain the following trigonometric function values.

- a correction value of l / ((l + D 2 + 2D cos ⁇ ) is obtained for the vector of the signal 1 rotated a.
- This correction is performed by setting the ratio of adjacent two sides to D And the length of the parallelogram diagonal where the included angle is ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , based on ((1 + D 2 + 2 D cos ⁇ ). 5 ).
- the gain of the first signal before encoding is 1, the gain of the second signal is D, and the phase difference is ⁇ , the energy of the signal before downmixing is (1 It is expressed as + D 2 ) ° 5 .
- the energy of the signal after downmixing is expressed as (l + D 2 + 2D cos ⁇ ) ° ⁇ 5
- the energy of the downmix signal is the energy of the original signal according to ⁇ ⁇ . It differs from D 2 5 .
- the energy (l + D 2 + 2Dcos ⁇ ) ° ⁇ 5 downmix signal after is has the original No. signal, Ru energy (compared to 1 + D 2 5, the phase difference When the angle is 90 degrees, they match, but the phase difference becomes larger as it approaches 0 degrees, and becomes smaller as the phase difference approaches 180 degrees. That is, according to this expression, the in-phase signal power can be obtained down The energy of the mix signal becomes too large, and the energy of the downmix signal, which can also obtain the negative phase signal power, becomes too small.
- the downmix signal can be separated into two signals of signal 1 and signal 2 as shown in FIG. 6 (a).
- Demultiplexing section 103 performs the above processing for each frequency band shown in FIG. It should be noted here that in the high frequency band, the phase difference information power is used with respect to two pieces of gain ratio information. In this case, it is necessary to share one phase difference information, since there may be only one.
- the phase rotations are set to ⁇ and + j8 (that is, it is assumed that the rotors e ⁇ j “and e j /? Are used). Depending on the relationship of delay, it may be + a and ⁇ .
- the relationship between the decoded signal and the original signal to be separated is the parallel quadrilateral obtained by reversing the parallelogram shown in FIG.

It exists inside. This information can be used to accurately determine the direction of phase rotation.
- the separating unit 103 separates the two signals using one of the two complex numbers determined by the phase rotator determination unit 102 and their complex conjugate numbers according to the phase polarity information.

- the audio decoder according to this modification In the case where the bit rate is low, it is possible to consider a modification in which there is no such phase polarity information.
- One configuration example of the audio decoder according to such a modification is shown in FIG.
- the fourth code data (S) is omitted compared to the audio decoder handling phase polarity information (see FIG. 1), and the separation unit 103a is used in all frequency bands. The difference is that the two complex numbers determined by the phase rotator determination unit 102 are used as they are to separate the two signals.
- phase difference ⁇ is 180 degrees, ie, when the original two signals are in or out of phase with each other, the downmix signal is provided with Since it is clear that the state of the phase of the signal with the higher energy of the original two signals is shown, both ⁇ and j8 may be 0 degrees. In that case, the signal that was originally 180 degrees out of phase will be out of phase, but at least The phase of the stronger signal is kept accurate.
- the inverse transform unit 104 inversely transforms the frequency domain signal generated by the separation unit 103 into a time domain signal.

- the downmix signal is derived from the downmix signal obtained by downmixing the signal and the small amount of auxiliary information representing the phase difference between the audio signal and the gain ratio. Since the absolute phase of the two audio signals is reproduced, the reproduction accuracy of the signal is improved compared to the prior art in which only the relative phase difference ⁇ between the two audio signals is reproduced.

- the correction value is represented by a function value of F1 (D,)), F2 (D, ⁇ ), and the values of cos ⁇ , sin ⁇ , cos j8, and sin ⁇ themselves are not stored.
- the function values F1 (D,,) and F2 (D, ⁇ ) are all function values of D and ⁇ , and the table considered here is also D and ⁇ Since the two-dimensional table is addressed by the above, the corrected value can be stored and referred to in this table without increasing the memory size and the complexity of the access procedure.
- the method described in the present application determines the phase rotation angle strictly based on the geometric principle, the separation performance is superior to the above-described method. Therefore, the method of the present application is not used for the Enhanced AAC + SBR decoder. If implemented into the implementation, it is possible to obtain high quality sound without changing anything on the bitstream, ie, stream compatibility.
