Abstract: A mobile information terminal includes a battery, an external power supplier configured to be supplied with external power, a data processer configured to perform a predetermined processing regarding first data to convert the first data into second data, a recording section configured to record at least one piece of data, a saving controller configured to, while being supplied with external power through the external power supplier, cause the data processor to perform the predetermined processing regarding first data recorded in the recording section, and save the resultant second data into the recording section, and an outputting controller configured to, while being supplied with power from the battery, be directed to perform the predetermined processing regarding first data recorded in the recording section, and if the directed first data corresponds to the second data saved in the recording section, read out the corresponding second data saved in the recording section.

Abstract: A memory for voice memo is provided. A digital audio signal is stored into the memory in a form in which the signal was compression encoded by a variable length code. Thus, a data amount which is required for the voice memo is reduced and the improvement of the recording time and the reduction of the memory capacity can be realized without deteriorating the sound quality. The audio signal is compressed by a system similar to a compression system of a CDMA system and stored into the memory. Thus, there is no need to add any special circuit and a circuit scale and costs are not increased.

Abstract: A telephone system and a voice encoding/decoding method capable of reducing the consumed power by reducing the memory capacity of buffer and generating high-tone-quality voice. The system writes an input voice frame to an input buffer and eliminates the delayed disturbance in a voice signal from the input voice frame based on the output voice frame to execute echo-canceling, and decodes the received voice packet data, so that the boundary of input voice frames can be set before the boundary of output voice frames, at least, for the time necessary for the echo-canceling and decoding. Thereby, the output voice frame can always be written at the same time as the input voice frame written to the input buffer and the delayed disturbance in the voice signal can be eliminated from the input voice frame based on the output voice frame and, thus the high-tone-quality voice can be generated.
