An encoding process is performed by multiplying the input sound signal by an encoding function matrix having entries related to a basis function to generate an encoding result. A decoding function matrix is retrieved from the storage and at least one direction parameter is applied to the decoding function matrix, wherein the decoding function matrix compensates a difference between an ideal approximation result and a modeled approximation result of the input sound signal. A decoding process is performed by multiplying the encoding result by the decoding function matrix having the direction parameter applied to generate an output sound signal. The output sound signal is reproduced.

    Abstract: A method for obtaining Hi-Res audio transfer information is provided. The method is applicable to the electronic device having a processor. In the method, a first audio signal is captured and converted from the time domain into in the frequency domain to generate a first signal spectrum. Then, a regression analysis is performed on an energy distribution of the first signal spectrum to predict an extended energy distribution according to the first signal spectrum, and head-related parameters are used to compensate for the extended energy distribution to generate an extended signal spectrum. Finally, the first signal spectrum and the extended signal spectrum are combined into a second signal spectrum which is converted from the frequency domain into the time domain to generate a second audio signal including Hi-Res audio transfer information.
