  • Patent number: 11516581
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a first time-frequency converter configured to perform a time-frequency conversion with respect to an input signal, using a window function having a first width, a second time-frequency converter configured to perform a time-frequency conversion with respect to the input signal, using a second window function having a second width smaller than the first width, and a modification processing unit configured to modify an output of the second time-frequency converter, using a frequency analysis result based on an output of the first time-frequency converter.

  • Patent number: 11308975
    Abstract: A mixing device of a first signal and a second signal on a time-frequency plane, includes a control signal generation unit to generate a control signal indicating whether to perform prioritized mixing that includes amplification of the first signal and attenuation of the second signal; and a gain derivation unit to derive a first gain for amplifying the first signal and a second gain for attenuating the second signal based on the control signal. The control signal takes at least a first value and a second value different from the first value, wherein the first value is not continuous beyond a predetermined bandwidth on a frequency axis. The mixing device applies the prioritized mixing to the first and second signals when the control signal indicates the first value, and applies simple addition to the first and second signals when the control signal indicates the second value.

  • Patent number: 11222649
    Abstract: A mixing apparatus having a stereo output includes: a first signal processor that mixes a first signal and a second signal in a first channel; a second signal processor that mixes a third signal and a fourth signal in a second channel; a third channel that processes a weighted sum of a signal of the first channel and a signal of the second channel; and a gain deriving part that generates a gain mask commonly used in the first channel and the second channel, wherein the gain deriving part determines a first gain commonly applied to the first signal and the third signal, and a second gain commonly applied to the second signal and the fourth signal, so that predetermined conditions for simultaneous gain generation are satisfied at least at the first channel and the second channel among the first channel, the second channel, and the third channel.
