    Abstract: A technique for recording, reproducing, transmitting and/or receiving compressed data utilizes frequency dividing filters (101, 102) for dividing the frequency range of digital signals into plural frequency bands, orthogonal transform circuits (103-105) for producing signal components in plural two-dimensional blocks along time and frequency, an adaptive bit allocation and encoding circuit (108) for quantizing and compressing the information for each two-dimensional block, and a bit allocation and calculating circuit (107). When recording the information together with information compressing parameters for each two-dimensional block, the information compressing parameters for at least two two-dimensional blocks are recorded collectively to avoid complexity in the structure of the sampling frequency signal generating circuits or the like that would otherwise be caused in the case of providing plural sampling frequencies, as well as to prevent an increase in hardware scale.

    Abstract: Input signals are converted into frequency components, the frequency components are separated into first signals composed of tonal components and second signals composed of other components. The first and second signals are respectively encoded and code string to be transmitted or recorded is generated. For example, only the first signals are encoded, and an information substring generated for, e.g., every quantization accuracy information which has a common value and a parameter related to the encoding of the first signals is included in the code string, by using at least either, for example, the number of spectrum components constituting the tonal components which is the parameter related to the separation or, for example, quantization accuracy information which is the parameter related to the encoding of the first signals as reference parameter. Thus, the inputted signals can be encoded more efficiently than conventional.

    Abstract: An apparatus for compressing a digital input signal compresses a digital input signal arranged into frames of plural samples. The digital input signal is orthogonally transformed by plural orthogonal transform circuits in blocks derived by dividing the frames by a different divisor in each circuit. The resulting spectral coefficients are quantized using an adaptive number of bits. The output of one orthogonal transform circuit is selected based on the outputs of the orthogonal transform circuits. The digital input signal is divided into plural frequency ranges, and frames are formed in each range. A block length decision circuit determines division of the frames of each range signal into blocks in response to range signal dynamics. The range signals are orthogonally transformed in blocks and the spectral coefficients are quantized. The apparatus also includes a frequency analyzing circuit that derives spectral data points from the input data, and groups them in plural bands. A noise level setting circuit finds the energy in each band and sets a allowable noise level in response to the band energy. A block floating coefficient calculating circuit calculates block floating coefficients based on the maximum spectral data point in each band. A quantizing bit number decision circuit determines the number of bits to use for quantizing in response to the allowable noise level and the block floating coefficients. A quantizing circuit quantizes the spectral data points in response to the quantizing bit number decision circuit.

Reverse orthogonal transformation circuits 903a and 903b perform reverse orthogonal transformation of outputs of circuits 902a and 902b. Multipliers 905a and 905b multiply outputs of memories 904a and 904b by a multiplication coefficient values supplied from multiplication coefficient generation circuits 906. An adder 907 adds the outputs of multipliers 905a and 905b in each band. A block determination and orthogonal transformation circuit 908 determines a block size for each band with respect to the output of the adder 907 and performs orthogonal transformation. An adaptive bit assignment encoding circuit 909 converts the output of the circuit 908 to efficiently encoded data.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the complication in a sampling frequency signal generation circuit and the increase in a hardware scale and to suppress the number of sub-information and to prevent the deterioration in tone quality in a low bit rate mode as much as possible when plural bit rate modes are required. CONSTITUTION:A high band signal being the output of a band division filter is imparted to an input terminal 601, and the orthogonal transformation block size information is imparted to the input terminal 602. When the orthogonal transformation block size us a long mode, an input high band signal is sent to an orthogonal transformation circuit 604 to be orthogonal-transformed. When the orthogonal transformation block size is a short mode, the input high band signal is sent to a band division filter 605 to be divided to a middle band signal component and a high band signal component. The spectrum data orthogonal transformed in the orthogonal transformation circuit 604 or the signal component band divided in the band division filter 605 is sent to a signal component division circuit 606.
