Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic audio apparatus is described that uses a digital audio filter in which a splitter separates an input frame of discrete time audio into different time interval portions. Separate digital filter blocks then operate in parallel upon those time interval portions, respectively. A combiner merges the filtered portions into a single audio channel signal. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for filtering an audio signal, comprising: receiving a frame of discrete time audio in a single audio channel; time-splitting the frame into a first time interval portion and a second time interval portion; digital filtering in parallel the first and second time interval portions, wherein said digital filtering comprises passing the first and second portions through separate first and second IIR filters, respectively; and combining the filtere…
