Abstract:
An audio sound signal encoding device includes: a converter that adds up all multiple channel signals included in multichannel voice sound input signals to generate an addition signal and generates a difference signal between channels of the multiple channel signals; a first encoder that encodes the addition signal in a coding mode in accordance with a characteristic of the addition signal to generate first encoded data; a second encoder that encodes the difference signal in the coding mode that was used for encoding the addition signal, to generate second encoded data; and a multiplexer that multiplexes the first encoded data and the second encoded data to generate multichannel encoded data.

Claim (Index 10):
A capturing sound system comprising\n a capturing sound processor that performs beamforming processing on the decoded audio sound signals outputted from the decoding device according to  claim 6  to extract a target signal, the capturing sound processor comprising: a phase corrector that corrects phases of decoded channel signals included in the decoded audio sound signals; an adder that adds up all the decoded channel signals after the phase correction to generate an addition signal; a subtractor that generates a difference signal between adjacent channels of the decoded channel signals after the phase correction; and a suppressor that emphasizes a component of the target signal and suppresses a component other than the component of the target signal, using the addition signal and the difference signal.
