摘要

With respect to data having periodicity to be compressed, windows of the same size are set for every two sections according to an interval of peaks appearing substantially periodically and processing for sorting sample data alternately among the set windows of the same size is sequentially performed, whereby a frequency of data having periodicity is replaced with an approximately half frequency without damaging reproducibility to original data at all to make it possible to apply compression processing to data of the replaced low frequency. If this sorting processing is applied to compression processing having a characteristic that a compression ratio is not increased in a high-frequency region, it becomes possible to improve a compression ratio without damaging a quality of reproduced data by decompression at all.
