- Audio signal processing apparatus 100 upsamples an input audio signal, generates harmonics from the input audio signal, and adds the harmonics to the upsampled audio signal to expand the frequency band of the audio signal. can do. Therefore, an audio signal such as an audio signal on a telephone line that has lost high frequencies can be reproduced as a more natural sound by expanding the frequency band.
- Audio signal processing apparatus 100 identifies vowels and sounds other than vowels such as consonants, generates mutually different gain values based on the identification results, and amplifies harmonics based on the gain values or The gain can be attenuated and adjusted, and the harmonics after gain adjustment can be added to the upsampled audio signal. That is, a harmonic can be generated by changing the gain value between a vowel and a sound other than the vowel. As a result, the frequency band of the reproduced sound can be expanded in a balanced manner for both vowels and consonants, so that it is possible to realize a natural reproduced sound that is easier to hear. Furthermore, since the audio signal processing apparatus 100 can amplify or attenuate the odd-order harmonics and the even-order harmonics with mutually different gain values, it is possible to realize natural reproduced sound that is easier to hear.
- the audio signal processing apparatus 100 can improve the sound quality of the reproduced audio of the audio signal to make it more natural and easy for the user to hear.
- the first embodiment has been described as an example of the technique disclosed in the present application.
- the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to this, and can also be applied to embodiments in which changes, replacements, additions, omissions, and the like are performed.
- the vowel detection unit 108 described in Embodiment 1 can also be configured as follows.
- FIG. 8 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the vowel detection unit 1081 in another embodiment.
- the vowel detection unit 1081 shown in FIG. 8 is different from the vowel detection unit 108 shown in Embodiment 1 as follows.
- the vowel detection unit 1081 includes a correlation calculation unit 801, a second comparison unit 802, and a gain coefficient generation unit 708.
- the correlation calculation unit 801 is configured to perform autocorrelation calculation of the high frequency audio signal input from the input terminal 601 and output the calculation result (autocorrelation calculation result) to the second comparison unit 802. Note that the autocorrelation calculation in the correlation calculation unit 801 need not be performed by setting various shift times. For example, by performing autocorrelation calculation with a time length of about 1 msec with a shift time of about 0.2 msec, it is possible to distinguish between vowels and others.
- the second comparison unit 802 compares the autocorrelation calculation result output from the correlation calculation unit 801 with the second threshold value. When the autocorrelation calculation result is larger than the second threshold value, the second comparison unit 802 regards the voice signal as a vowel. When “1” is output and the autocorrelation calculation result is equal to or smaller than the second threshold value, the speech signal is regarded as a sound other than a vowel, and “0” is output. Note that the second comparison unit 802 may be configured to output with 1 and 0 reversed. The second threshold is set to an appropriate value so that vowels and sounds other than vowels can be identified.
- the vowel detection unit 1081 can detect vowels with a simple configuration as compared to the vowel detection unit 108 shown in the first embodiment. Can reduce the number of elements.
- the vowel detector 108 shown in the first embodiment can also be configured as follows.
- FIG. 9 is a block diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the vowel detection unit 1082 in another embodiment.
- the vowel detection unit 1082 shown in FIG. 9 has the following differences from the vowel detection unit 108 shown in the first embodiment.
- the vowel detection unit 1082 has a configuration in which a second division unit 901 and a second multiplication unit 902 are further added to the vowel detection unit 108 shown in the first embodiment. Hereinafter, this difference will be described.
- the second division unit 901 is configured to perform division using the high frequency signal output from the first smoothing unit 603 as a divisor and a predetermined constant as a dividend.
- the predetermined constant is a value corresponding to the amplitude of the high frequency signal output from the first smoothing unit 603 when a high frequency audio signal having the maximum amplitude is input (that is, the maximum value of the high frequency signal).
- the second division unit 901 outputs a value inversely proportional to the amplitude of the high frequency audio signal.
- the second multiplication unit 902 is configured to multiply the output of the second division unit 901 by the first gain value and output the multiplication result as a corrected first gain value.
- the amplitude of the odd harmonic is a value proportional to the square of the amplitude of the high frequency audio signal.
- the second multiplier 902 can correct the first gain value to a value inversely proportional to the amplitude of the high frequency audio signal.
- the amplitude of the odd-order harmonics after gain adjustment is proportional to the amplitude of the high frequency audio signal. Therefore, an increase in the amplitude of the odd-order harmonic after gain adjustment is suppressed as compared with the even-order harmonic after gain adjustment. That is, in the audio signal processing apparatus using the vowel detection unit 1082, it is possible to balance the amplitude between the odd-order harmonics after gain adjustment and the even-order harmonics after gain adjustment. Can be further improved.

- the reproduced sound using an amplifier using a transistor element has a distortion characteristic that the amplitude of the odd-order harmonic is larger than the even-order harmonic, and the reproduced sound is subjectively sharp. It tends to be evaluated.
- the second gain value is relatively increased for users who prefer soft sounds
- the first gain value is relatively increased for users who prefer sharp sounds. Sound quality control according to the user's preference is possible with the above-described configuration.
- the second gain value is relatively increased for a speech signal determined as a vowel
- the first gain value is relatively increased for a speech determined as a sound other than a vowel such as a consonant.
- Embodiment 1 the configuration example in which the vowel detection unit 108 identifies vowels and sounds other than vowels has been described, but the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration.
- the vowel detection unit determines that the sound signal is a sound other than a vowel
- the vowel detection unit further identifies whether the sound signal is silence or a weak sound that can be regarded as substantially silent.

In this configuration, it is possible to prevent harmonics from being added to a sound signal of a weak sound that can be regarded as silent or substantially silent, and to prevent deterioration of the SN (Signal to Noise) signal-to-noise ratio.
- the vowel detection unit is configured to identify an unvoiced consonant that is not accompanied by vocal cord vibration and a voiced consonant that is accompanied by vocal cord vibration, and to set an optimum first gain value and second gain value for each,
- the quality of the consonant after expansion can be improved.
- the sound quality of the consonant after the frequency band expansion can be further improved by configuring the vowel detection unit so that the consonant is identified more finely and the optimum first gain value and second gain value are set for each. it can.

- the first comparison unit 707 can output a result that is substantially the same as the configuration having the logarithmic operation unit 705. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the amount of calculation in the determination unit (in the case of a circuit, the number of elements is reduced).
- the correlation calculation unit 801 of the vowel detection unit 1081 performs autocorrelation calculation based on the high frequency audio signal output from the HPF 103, but the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration.
- a correlation calculation unit 801 receives a voice signal that does not pass through the HPF 103, that is, an upsampling voice signal output from the upsampling unit 102, and performs a correlation calculation unit 801 so as to perform autocorrelation calculation based on the upsampling voice signal. May be configured. Thereby, the correlation calculation part 801 can detect a vowel with many low frequency components more correctly.
- Embodiment 1 the example in which the input audio signal is upsampled to the double sampling frequency by the upsampling unit 102 has been described, but the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration.
- the upsampling unit 102 may be configured to upsample the input audio signal to a sampling frequency that is twice or more (for example, four times the sampling frequency). As a result, higher harmonics can be added to the original signal, and a more natural audio signal can be generated.
