ENCODING METHOD, DECODING METHOD, ENCODER, DECODER, PROGRAMME AND RECORDING MEDIUM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G10L19/08 

FIELD: physics, communications.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an encoding method and more specifically to a method of encoding a fundamental tone period. Encoding involves calculating the fundamental tone period for time sequence signals in a predefined time interval and outputting a code corresponding thereto. In said encoding, resolution for expressing fundamental tone periods and/or fundamental tone period encoding mode is switched according to whether an index which indicates the level of periodicity and/or stationarity of the time sequence signals satisfies a condition which indicates high or low periodicity and/or stationarity. In said decoding, in accordance with whether the index which indicates the level of periodicity and/or stationarity, an index included in the input code or obtained based on the input code, which corresponds to the predefined time interval, satisfies the condition which indicates high periodicity and/or stationarity; the decoding mode for the code included in the input code, which corresponds to fundamental tone periods, is switched for decoding a code which corresponds to fundamental tone periods in order to obtain fundamental tone periods which correspond to the predefined time interval.

EFFECT: high efficiency of compressing fundamental tone periods.
