Abstract

The signal processing apparatus inserts the header information in a frame to probably be the reproduction start point by including: the first and the second coding units that code an input signal per frame; the first header inserting unit that inserts the SBR header indicating management information of the coded signal represented by a sequence of frames, in each frame at a regular interval within the coded signal; the control unit that determines a frame in which the SBR header is inserted, independent of the frames in which the first header inserting unit inserts the SBR header; and the second header inserting unit that singly inserts the SBR header in the frame determined by the control unit.

Claims (62)

1. A signal processing apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory having stored thereon executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:

coding an input signal on a per frame basis;

inserting a header in each frame at a regular interval within a coded signal, the coded signal being generated in said coding and being represented by a sequence of frames, and the header indicating management information of the coded signal;

determining a frame in which the header is to be inserted, independent of the frames in which the header is inserted in said inserting; and

singly inserting the header in the frame determined in said determining,

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, indicates management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction, and

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, (i) indicates the management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction and (ii) includes coding mode information indicating a coding method for coding Inter-channel Intensity Differences.

2. A signal processing apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and a non-transitory memory having stored thereon executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:

coding an input signal on a per frame basis;

inserting a header in each frame at a regular interval within a coded signal, the coded signal being generated in said coding and being represented by a sequence of frames, and the header indicating management information of the coded signal;

determining a frame in which the header is to be inserted, independent of the frames in which the header is inserted in said inserting; and

singly inserting the header in the frame determined in said determining,

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, indicates management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction, and wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, (i) indicates the management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction and (ii) includes coding mode information indicating a coding method for coding Inter-channel Coherence.

3. A method for processing a signal, said method comprising:

coding an input signal on a per frame basis;

inserting, using a processor, a header in each frame at a regular interval within a coded signal, the coded signal being generated in said coding and being represented by a sequence of frames, and the header indicating management information of the coded signal;

determining a frame in which the header is to be inserted, independent of the frames in which the header is inserted in said inserting; and

singly inserting the header in the frame determined in said determining,

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, indicates management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction, and

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, (i) indicates the management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction and (ii) includes coding mode information indicating a coding method for coding Inter-channel Intensity Differences.

4. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored thereon a program, wherein, when executed, said program causes a computer to perform:

coding an input signal on a per frame basis;

inserting a header in each frame at a regular interval within a coded signal, the coded signal being generated in said coding and being represented by a sequence of frames, and the header indicating management information of the coded signal;

determining a frame in which the header is to be inserted, independent of the frames in which the header is inserted in said inserting; and

singly inserting the header in the frame determined in said determining,

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, indicates management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction, and

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, (i) indicates the management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction and (ii) includes coding mode information indicating a coding method for coding Inter-channel Intensity Differences.

5. An integrated circuit, comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory having stored thereon executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform:

coding an input signal on a per frame basis;

inserting a header in each frame at a regular interval within a coded signal, the coded signal being generated in said coding and being represented by a sequence of frames, and the header indicating management information of the coded signal;

determining a frame in which the header is to be inserted, independent of the frames in which the header is inserted in said inserting; and

singly inserting the header in the frame determined in said determining,

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, indicates management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction, and

wherein the header, which is inserted in said inserting and said singly inserting, (i) indicates the management information of auxiliary data for enlarging channels of the coded signal for reproduction and (ii) includes coding mode information indicating a coding method for coding Inter-channel Intensity Differences.
