Abstract

See full text

In a voice coding apparatus of a voice communication system, feature parameters of background noise in background noise sections of an input signal stream are extracted and background noise is encoded into a comfortable-noise code, and embedding positions where additional information is to be embedded are determined according to the values of the extracted feature parameters. Additional information is embedded into the embedding positions thus determined of the voice or comfortable-noise code, which will be transmitted to a voice decoding apparatus in the system. In the decoding apparatus, the transmitted code is separated into voice and background noise sections to be decoded. From the background noise sections, the values of the feature parameters are found out and used to reference a correspondence relationship table to determine the embedding positions where the additional information is embedded. The additional information is extracted at the embedding positions thus determined to be restored.
