Patent ID: 7298783

Claim:
A method of compressing sounds in mobile terminals, comprising: initializing a differential code corresponding to difference between adjacent PCM codes among PCM codes generated by sampling input sounds in a dictionary table; sequentially reading PCM codes generated by sampling actually inputted input sounds, transforming the PCM codes into corresponding differential codes initialized in the dictionary table, and outputting the differential codes; and registering the outputted differential codes in a dictionary through a dictionary generation algorithm, wherein said sequentially reading the PCM codes, transforming the PCM codes into differential codes, and outputting the differential codes comprises: producing differential code variables that are differences between a previously read PCM code and a presently read PCM code; and differently outputting differential codes according to the produced differential code variables' values in said differently outputting differential codes are according to the produced differential code variables' values wherein the differential code variables are outputted as they are when the produced differential code variables' values are in a certain range, and the differential code variables are transformed and outputted when the produced differential code variables' are not in the certain range.
