Abstract:
1. A method of synchronizing one data signal with another data signal, comprising the computer implemented steps of: receiving one data signal as a subject signal; receiving another data signal as a working segment, the working segment including predefined coordinates in a coordinate system; transforming the subject signal and working segment into a common representation, said transforming resulting in respective transformed representations of the subject signal and working segment; aligning the respective transformed representations by matching the transformed representation of the working segment and the transformed representation of the subject signal to each other, said aligning producing an aligned state of the respective transformed representations; and transposing, by a processor of a computing device, the predefined coordinates of the working segment onto the subject signal in the aligned state of the respective transformed representations, such that the subject signal is synchronized to the coordinate system of the working segment, wherein one of: the step of aligning includes matching the respective determined string representations of the subject signal and the working segment to each other, and the step of transposing includes setting time intervals of a subset of waves in the subject signal equal to time intervals of waves of the working segment effectively compensating for qualities lacking in the subject signal;
