METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMBINING DIGITAL SIGNALS

摘要

A method and apparatus for combining digital signals. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method and an apparatus implementing the method combines a plurality of digital signals. The method determines, within a sample set of the plurality of digital signals, a maximum positive integer value and a maximum negative integer value. The method adds the maximum positive integer value to the maximum negative integer value to form an output value representing a combination of the plurality of digital signals within the sample set. The method repeats the foregoing steps for each additional sample set of digital signals.

1. A computer implemented method of combining digital signals, where each digital signal is represented by a sequence of values, comprising:
receiving a plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals over a period of time; calculating, by at least one processor, an output value representing a combination of the plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals at one instant in time by:
determining, at the one instant in time, a maximum positive value from the plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals;determining, at the one instant in time, the maximum negative value from the plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals;adding the maximum positive value from the plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals to the maximum negative value from the plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals to form the output value representing the combination of the plurality of contemporaneous digital audio signals at the one instant in time; and dynamically generating a composite audio signal by combining output values for each instant in time.
