Information processing apparatus and sound processing method
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a forward deciding unit that makes a decision as to a user'"'"'s forward according to the user'"'"'s orientation information;
a sound generating unit that creates sound data assigned to each of virtual sound sources placed in a plurality of directions preset in advance;
a compressing unit that performs compression on the created sound data by the sound generating unit in different ways between the created sound data corresponding to the user'"'"'s forward obtained by the forward deciding unit and the created sound data corresponding to a direction other than the user'"'"'s forward; and
a communication unit that transmits the compressed sound data by the compressing unit.

8. A sound processing method, performed by an information processing apparatus, comprising steps of:
-
making a decision as to a user'"'"'s forward according to the user'"'"'s orientation information, creating sound data assigned to each of virtual sound sources placed in a plurality of directions preset in advance, performing compression on the created sound data in different ways between the created sound data corresponding to the user'"'"'s forward and the created sound data corresponding to a direction other than the user'"'"'s forward, and transmitting the compressed sound data compressed in the different ways.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which a program has been recorded to cause a computer to
make a decision as to a user'"'"'s forward according to the user'"'"'s orientation information, create sound data assigned to each of virtual sound sources placed in a plurality of directions preset in advance, perform compression on the created sound data in different ways between the created sound data corresponding to the user'"'"'s forward and the created sound data corresponding to a direction other than the user'"'"'s forward, and transmit the compressed sound data in the different ways.
