Abstract
An apparatus for discriminating voice data so as to create statistical data and for discriminating voice/voice band data in digital speech interpolation and digital circuit multiplication equipment. A comparison is made between the dead zone width and the amplitude of the input signal so as to count only how many times the input signal crosses the width of each dead zone as the number of the zero crosses. Then, the sum of the absolute-value voltages of the input signal is determined and the encoding is performed based on the values corresponding to the sum thereof thus determined or the average and dispersion analysis of the values is carried out, thereby effecting the discrimination of the vowel and consonant of the voice, the tone signal and the frequency thereof, and the modulated wave. Further, the number of the crosses of the input signal to the threshold set in the form of plural steps is determined to the input signal transmitted over the telephone line. Then, the encoding is made based on the result of determination of the number of the crosses or the average and dispersion analysis of the values is performed.
