Patent ID: 7689306

Claim:
An audio player comprising: a buffer unit that temporary stores sampling values contained in a second-half frame of each of a plurality of frames received in time series, the frames containing audio data sampled in a predetermined sampling rate; a detecting unit that detects a defect in the frames; an inverted-frame generating unit that generates a first-half inverted frame containing first-half complementarity samples that are obtained by arranging the sampling values of the second-half frame of a normal frame in a reverse order of the time series, the normal frame being received immediately before the defect is detected by the detecting unit; a non-inverted frame generating unit that generates a second-half non-inverted frame containing second-half complementarity samples that are obtained by arranging the sampling values of the second-half frame of the normal frame in the time series; and an output unit that outputs the normal frame, the first-half inverted frame, and the second-half non-inverted frame, in this order.
