Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing approaches to different parts of the audio signal parameters. The first partial parameter is encoded using reference values and difference values, while the second partial parameter is handled separately. This local differentiation allows optimized compression for each parameter component while preserving the overall audio quality through selective processing.
