  • Patent number: 7058574
    Abstract: In a signal processing apparatus, a speech coder includes, as three sections for coding speech data by different algorithm, an Algorithm-A coding section, an Algorithm-B coding section and an Algorithm-C coding section. A noise suppressor includes, as three sections for suppressing background noise by different algorithm, an Algorithm-X noise suppress section, an Algorithm-Y noise suppress section and an Algorithm-Z noise suppress section. A suppress algorithm switching control section controls switching on the basis of information from a coding algorithm switching control section such that an optimal one of the noise suppress sections may function in association with the coding section activated in the speech coder.

  • Patent number: 6292520
    Abstract: A noise canceler according to the invention orthogonally transforms a noise frame by means of an FFT and sorts its transform coefficients into N groups by means of a group by group basic reduction value determining section. Then, it compares the mean value of the transform coefficients of each of the groups with a threshold value and determines a basic reduction value according to the outcome of the comparison. Then, it operates to suppress the transform coefficients produced from the FFT by-means of a transform coefficient suppressing section on the basis of the basic reduction value.
