  • Patent number: 11837243
    Abstract: A processing method of a sound watermark and a speech communication system are provided. Multiple sinewave signals are generated. Frequencies of the sinewave signals are different from each other, and the sinewave signals belong to a high-frequency sound signal. A watermark pattern is mapped into a time-frequency diagram, to form a watermark sound signal. Two dimensions of the watermark pattern in a two-dimensional coordinate system respectively correspond to a time axis and a frequency axis in the time-frequency diagram. Each of multiple audio frames on the time axis corresponds to the sinewave signals with different frequencies on the frequency axis. A speech signal and the watermark sound signal are synthesized in a time domain to generate a watermark-embedded signal. Accordingly, a sound watermark may be embedded in real-time.
