摘要:
A audio conference device capable of detecting a talker's direction exactly and collecting a sound emitted from this direction at a high signal S/N ratio is provided. A detecting beam generating portion 811 applies a delay-sum process to sound collecting signal SS104 to SS113 of microphones MIC104 to MIC113 that are aligned densely in a center portion in the alignment direction, and generates detecting sound collecting beam signals MB101 to MB114. A outputting beam generating portion 812 applies a delay-sum process to sound collecting signals SS101 to SS116 of all microphones MIC101 to MIC116 that are aligned in the alignment direction to generate outputting collecting beam signals MB101' to MB114'. A sound collecting beam selecting portion 19 detects direction data MS corresponding to a sound collecting beam signal, which has the highest signal density, out of the detecting sound collecting beam signals MB101 to MB114, and feeds the sound collecting beam signal to an outputting beam selecting portion 813. The outputting beam selecting portion 813 selects a sound collecting beam signal corresponding to the direction data MS.
摘要:
A sound emitting and collecting apparatus that can precisely detect the talker direction based on a collected sound signal even when a sound is emitted from a loudspeaker is provided. Microphone units MU1 to MU8 collect a sound in sound collecting areas MA1 to MA8 formed so as to have rotational symmetry with the placement position of loudspeakers SP1 and SP2 as the center and generates composite signals SA1 to SA8 (hereinafter, SAk). Logarithm calculation sections L1 to L8 calculate logarithm values P k of power level of the composite signals SAk. An amplification section 11 calculates a power level average value AV from the logarithm values P k of power levels and a subtraction section subtracts the power level average value AV from the logarithm values P k of power level to generate differential signal levels D k . A maximum value detection section 12 compares differential signal levels D k and detects the maximum value. A control section 20 detects the direction of the sound collecting area corresponding to the differential signal level D kM indicating the maximum value as the talker direction.
摘要:
A position detecting system is provided, which is capable of effectively preventing erroneous detection of audio to be measured. The position detecting system includes a terminal device that inputs an audio signal from an audio device and a microphone. The audio device sequentially inputs measurement audio signals that have been formed by two or more audio signals of different frequencies to a speaker and receives a notification signal, wherein the report signal indicates that the audio of the measurement audio signal has been collected from the terminal device. The audio device clocks a time t1 and a time t2, namely clocks after the audio of the measurement audio signal is output from the speakers SP 1 --- SP2 until the notification signals of the measurement audio signals are received by the signal receiving unit. The audio device calculates the position of the microphone by using the times t1 and t2. For each frequency component of the measurement audio signal, when an audio signal exceeding a predetermined level is inputted from the microphone, the terminal device detects it as a component of the measurement audio signal and transmits a notification signal upon detection of the measurement audio signal.
