Acoustic Control Apparatus and Acoustic Control Method
First Claim
1. An acoustic control apparatus comprising:
- a speaker-position computation section configured to find the position of each of a plurality of speakers located in a speaker layout space on the basis of a position computed as the position of a microphone in the speaker layout space based on a taken image of at least any of the microphone and an object placed at a location close to the position of the microphone, and a result of sound collection carried out by the microphone to collect a signal sound each generated by one of the speakers; and
an acoustic control section configured to carry out control of a sound generated by each of the speakers by computing the position of a user in the speaker layout space on the basis of a taken image of the user, computing the distance between the position of the user and the position of each of the speakers, and controlling sounds generated by the speakers according to the computed distances.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an acoustic control apparatus including: a speaker-position computation section configured to find the position of each of a plurality of speakers located in a speaker layout space on the basis of a position computed as the microphone position in the speaker layout space based on a taken image of at least any of the microphone and an object placed at a location close to the microphone position, and a result of sound collection to collect a signal sound each generated by one of the speakers; and an acoustic control section configured to control a sound generated by each of the speakers by computing a user position in the speaker layout space based on a taken image of the user, computing the distance between the user position and the position of each of the speakers, and controlling sounds generated by the speakers according to the computed distances.

8. An acoustic control method, comprising:
-
computing the position of a microphone in a speaker layout space, in which a plurality of speakers are laid out, on the basis of taken images of at least any of the microphone and an object placed at a location close to the position of the microphone; finding the position of each of the speakers laid out in the speaker layout space on the basis of the computed position of the microphone and a result of sound collection carried out by the microphone to collect signal sounds each generated by one of the speakers; and controlling a sound generated by each of the speakers in accordance with a computed position of the user and the distance from the position of the user to the position of each of the speakers.
