Abstract
There is provided a technology that improves, in a case where there is a sound signal obtained from a different code that is different from a code from which a decoded sound signal is obtained and that is derived from the same sound signal, the decoded sound signal by using the sound signal obtained from the different code. A signal (hereinafter, referred to as an upmixed common signal) obtained by upmixing a decoded sound common signal obtained by downmixing a decoded sound signal of each channel is subjected to signal purification using a signal (hereinafter, referred to as an upmixed monaural decoded sound signal) obtained by upmixing a monaural decoded sound signal to thereby generate a purified upmixed signal, and in each channel, the upmixed common signal is subtracted from the decoded sound signal and the purified upmixed signal is added thereto, to thereby generate a purified decoded sound signal.
