Publication number: 20240127827Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for encoding and/or decoding audio information. For example, a process can process an input audio segment to generate a representation of the input audio segment, and can compare the representation of the input audio segment to representations stored in a memory. The representations represent a plurality of audio segments. The process can determine, based on the comparison, target representation(s) of target audio segment(s) from the representations stored in the memory. The process can determine one or more indices associated with the target audio segment(s). The process can then packetize the one or more indices and transmit the one or more packetized indices (e.g., to a decoder configured to decode the packetized indices).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Stephane VILLETTE, Sen LI, Pravin Kumar RAMADAS, Daniel Jared SINDER

Patent number: 11710492Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for encoding are described. A device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE), may support standards-compatible audio encoding (e.g., speech encoding) using a pre-encoded database. The device may receive a digital representation of an audio signal and identify, based on receiving the digital representation of the audio signal, a database that is pre-encoded according to a coding standard and that includes a quantity of digital representations of other audio signals. The device may encode the digital representation of the audio signal using a machine learning scheme and information from the database pre-encoded according to the coding standard. The device may generate a bitstream of the digital representation that is compatible with the coding standard based on encoding the digital representation of the audio signal, and output a representation of the bitstream.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2019Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Stephane Pierre Villette, Daniel Jared Sinder

Patent number: 11437050Abstract: Techniques are described for coding audio signals. For example, using a neural network, a residual signal is generated for a sample of an audio signal based on inputs to the neural network. The residual signal is configured to excite a long-term prediction filter and/or a short-term prediction filter. Using the long-term prediction filter and/or the short-term prediction filter, a sample of a reconstructed audio signal is determined. The sample of the reconstructed audio signal is determined based on the residual signal generated using the neural network for the sample of the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Zisis Iason Skordilis, Vivek Rajendran, Guillaume Konrad Sautière, Daniel Jared Sinder
