Methods for removing unwanted signals from media signal
First Claim
1. A method for receiving media signals (1) through receiving means, said media signals (1) containing unwanted signal components;
- to choose a representation for said media signals and to process these media signals (1) in such a way that said unwanted signal components are essentially removed and the remaining signal components are saved, said method comprising the steps of;
from the media signals (1) choose a first search key representation (20);
in a search track (30) conduct a first search after determining a signal representation (10) that contains a section (11) which is essentially identical with said first search key representation (20);
compare a first segment (40), which lies before and after said search key (20), with a second segment (41) which lies before and after said section (11) which is essentially identical with the first search key representation (20);
from said first segment (40) and said second segment (41) find a first common segment (44);
loading said common segment (44) into a memory domain (100); and
storing said segment in said memory domain (100) as a signal representation (70) without unwanted signal components.

Abstract
The invention relates to an improved method to achieve signals which are essentially devoid of unwanted signal components by using a search and comparison process. The present invention provides a method to receive media signals through receiving means, said media signals containing unwanted signal components, to chose a representation for said media signals and process these media signals in such a way that said unwanted signal components are essentially removed and the remaining signal components are saved, said method comprising the steps of: from the media signals chose a search key representation; in a search track conduct a first search after a signal representation that contains a section which is essentially identical with said search key; to compare a first segment, which lies before and after said search key, with a second segment which lies before and after said section, which is essentially identical with the first search key; from said first segment and said second segment find a first common segment; said method being characterized in that said common segment is stored in said memory domain as a signal representation without unwanted signal components.
