Abstract
A digital signal processor includes a coded audio data generation unit for generating coded audio data; an audio data generation unit for generating audio data; a signal switching unit for outputting one of the coded audio data and the audio data respectively supplied from the coded audio data generation unit and the audio data generation unit, and switching the output between these data; and a signal switching control unit for detecting the periodicity of the coded audio data outputted from the coded audio data generation unit, and controlling the signal switching unit so as to switch the output at the boundary of periods of the coded audio data.
Claims19
A digital signal processor for switching its output between plural digital audio data, according to an output switching instruction, comprising:
- a coded audio data generation unit operable to generate coded audio data;
- an audio data generation unit operable to generate audio data;
- a signal switching unit operable to output one of the coded audio data and the audio data respectively supplied from the coded audio data generation unit and the audio data generation unit, and operable to switch the output between these the coded audio data and the audio data;
- and
- a signal switching control unit operable to detect a position of the coded audio data within a period of the coded audio data generated by the coded audio data generation unit, and operable to receive the output switching instruction,
- wherein, upon receipt of the output switching instruction, the signal switching control unit detects the position of the coded audio data within the period and controls the signal switching unit to switch the output between the coded audio data and the audio data at the conclusion of the period.
