  • Patent number: 9214190
    Abstract: An audio signal processing method includes the steps of: dividing an audio signal data stream into a plurality of selection segments; determining a target segment in the audio signal data stream, the target segment including a splice point for splicing a splice segment thereto; selecting one of the selection segments as the splice segment according to at least one parameter of the target segment; and processing the target segment and the splice segment to splice the splice segment to the target segment, and outputting a processed segment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8363854
    Abstract: A device and method are provided for automatically adjusting gain, including a conversion module for converting an audio time-domain signal to an audio frequency-domain signal, an analysis module for analyzing the audio frequency-domain signal in accordance with an equal-loudness level contour of human hearing so as to generate strength weightings and generating a signal strength in accordance with the weightings, a calculation module for calculating a gain by analysis of the audio frequency-domain signal when the signal strength falls outside a default range, and a control module for generating an audio output signal in accordance with the gain and the audio time-domain signal.

  • Patent number: 8255232
    Abstract: An audio encoding method previously estimates better initial iterative values of global-gain and scalefactor for avoiding heavy calculation. The estimating process of the encoding method includes calculating the bit allocation of one frequency sample based on a sampling rate, a bit rate, and the number of audio channels according to an input frame, and the psychoacoustic model, searching one frequency sample having the greatest sample energy in each of a plurality of scalefactor bands, quantizing the frequency sample to comply with the bit allocation and to generate a corresponding scalefactor, searching a maximum scalefactor of all scalefactor bands corresponding to the input frame, and setting initial values of scalefactors and an initial value of global-gain for the quantization iterative loop process according to the corresponding scalefactor and the maximum scalefactor.
