Method and apparatus for transcoding between different speech encoding/ decoding systems and recording medium
First Claim
1. A code converting method for converting a first code sequence conforming to a first system to a second code sequence conforming to a second system, comprising the steps of:
- decoding the gain information from said first code sequence;
correcting the gain decoded (termed ‘
decoding gain’
); and
finding the gain information in said code sequence based on the decoding gain corrected (termed ‘
corrected decoded gain’
), said decoded gain and the gain read out from the codebook in said second system.

Abstract
Disclosed is a code converting apparatus for converting a first code sequence conforming to a first system to a second code sequence conforming to a second system, in which a speech decoding circuit acquires a first linear prediction coefficient and the information on an excitation signal from the first code sequence, and actuates a filter having the aforementioned first linear prediction coefficient with the excitation signal obtained from the information on the excitation signal, to generate a first speech signal. A gain code generating circuit calculates a gain minimizing the distance between a second speech signal, generated from the information, obtained from the second code sequence, and the first speech signal (optimum gain), and corrects the optimum gain and the gain code generating circuit then finds the gain information in the second code sequence, based on the optimum gain as corrected (optimum gain corrected), the above optimum gain and a gain read out from a gain codebook of the second system. The gain is found at this time, in a non-speech segment, based on a speech decision value, using an evaluation function which will reduce time variations of the gain of the second system.
