ENCODING DEVICE, DECODING DEVICE AND METHOD Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G10L19/04 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: disclosed is an encoding device which can accurately specify a band having a large error among all bands by using a small calculation amount. The device includes: a first position identification unit (201) which uses a first layer error conversion coefficient indicating an error of decoding signal for an input signal so as to search for a band having a large error in a relatively wide bandwidth in all the bands of the input signal and generates first position information indicating the identified band; a second position identification unit (202) which searches for a target frequency band having a large error in a relatively narrow bandwidth in the band identified by the first position identification unit (201) and generates second position information indicating the identified target frequency band; and an encoding unit (203) which encodes a first layer decoding error conversion coefficient contained in the target frequency band. The first position information, the second position information, and the encoding unit are transmitted to a communication partner.

EFFECT: determining band with considerable coding error from all bands with low computational complexity.
