Abstract

A wideband speech decoding apparatus has means for producing an excitation signal from coded data, means for producing a synthesis filter, and means for decoding a speech signal from the excitation signal and the synthesis filter. The wideband speech decoding apparatus comprises acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband. The wideband speech decoding apparatus further comprises control means for controlling decoding means based on the identification information.

Claims

1. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

means for producing an excitation signal from coded data;

means for producing a synthesis filter; and

means for decoding a speech signal from the excitation signal and the synthesis filter, comprising;

acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

control means for controlling decoding means based on the identification information.

2. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

lower-band production means for producing a speech signal on a lower-band side; and

higher-band production means for producing a higher-band signal, comprising;

acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies that the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

control means for controlling the lower-band production means based on the identification information.

3. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

means for producing an excitation signal from coded data;

means for producing a synthesis filter; and

means for decoding a speech signal from the excitation signal and the synthesis filter, comprising;

acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies that the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

modification means for modifying the decoded speech signal or the excitation signal based on the acquired identification information.

4. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

lower-band production means for producing a speech signal on a lower-band side; and

higher-band production means for producing a higher-band signal, comprising;

acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies that a speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

modification means for modifying the speech signal or an excitation signal decoded in the lower-band production means based on the identification information.

5. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

means for producing an excitation signal from coded data;

means for producing a synthesis filter;

and means for decoding a speech signal from the excitation signal and the synthesis filter, comprising;

acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies that the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

means for thinning out and accordingly sampling down the decoded speech signal or a signal resulting from the speech signal without using any band limiting filter in a case where narrowband is identified from the acquired identification information.

6. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

lower-band production means for producing a speech signal on a lower-band side; and

higher-band production means for producing a higher-band signal, comprising;

acquisition means for acquiring identification information which identifies that the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

means for sampling down the decoded speech signal or a signal resulting from the speech signal by means of thinning-out without using any band limiting filter in a case where narrowband is identified from the acquired identification information.

7. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

lower-band production means for producing a speech signal on a lower-band side; and

higher-band production means for producing a higher-band signal, comprising;

means for acquiring identification information which identifies that the speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

means for controlling the higher-band production means based on the acquired identification information.

8. A wideband speech decoding apparatus having:

lower-band production means for producing a speech signal on a lower-band side; and

higher-band production means for producing a higher-band signal, comprising;

means for acquiring identification information which identifies that a speech signal to be decoded is narrowband; and

means for modifying the signal from the higher-band production means based on the acquired identification information.
