Abstract

A music replay circuit is provided which includes a header analyzing unit which analyzes a header included in each of a plurality of frames in a data stream which are compressed music data and extracts bitrate information included in the header, a decoder which decodes the data stream analyzed by the header analyzing unit, a high-frequency correction unit which generates data in which high-frequency music data is interpolated, for music data decoded by the decoder, and a process setting unit which controls the process applied by the high-frequency correction unit based on the bitrate information extracted by the header analyzing unit, wherein the process setting unit control the process by the high-frequency correction unit according to the bitrate information extracted for each frame.

Claims (18)

1. A music replay circuit comprising:

a header analyzing unit which analyzes a header included in each of a plurality of frames in a data stream which are compressed music data, and extracts bitrate information included in the header;

a decoder which decodes the data stream analyzed by the header analyzing unit;

a high-frequency correction unit which generates data in which high-frequency music data is interpolated, for music data decoded by the decoder; and

a process setting unit which controls a process applied by the high-frequency correction unit, based on the bitrate information extracted by the header analyzing unit,

wherein

the process setting unit controls the process by the high-frequency correction unit according to the bitrate information extracted for each frame;

the process setting unit switches, based on the bitrate information, whether or not the process by the high-frequency correction unit is executed; and

the process setting unit switches whether or not the process by the high-frequency correction unit is executed in synchronization with a timing when the decoder decodes and outputs a frame from which the header is extracted.

2. A music replay circuit comprising:

a header analyzing unit which analyzes a header included in each of a plurality of frames in a data stream which are compressed music data and extracts bitrate information included in the header;

a decoder which decodes the data stream analyzed by the header analyzing unit;

a high-frequency correction unit which generates data in which high-frequency music data is interpolated by applying a filter process to music data decoded by the decoder; and

a process setting unit which sets a filter coefficient of a filter process applied by the high-frequency correction unit, based on the bitrate information extracted by the header analyzing unit, wherein

the process setting unit updates the filter coefficient according to the bitrate information extracted for each frame,

wherein the process setting unit comprises a coefficient table which stores the filter coefficient corresponding to each of a plurality of the bitrate information, and the process setting unit sets the filter coefficient of the high-frequency correction unit according to the filter coefficient stored in the coefficient table.

3. The music replay circuit according to claim 2 , wherein

the process setting unit sets the filter coefficient of the high-frequency correction unit in synchronization with a timing when the decoder decodes and outputs a frame from which the header is extracted.
