Abstract:
An acoustic system includes a supply device, which is connected to a network and configured to supply an acoustic signal to the network. The acoustic system also includes a plurality of output devices each configured to output a sound based on the acoustic signal supplied from the supply device via the network and a control device configured to control, based on a frequency of the acoustic signal, to which output device the acoustic signal is to be supplied out of the plurality of output devices.
Abstract:
An audio device includes a signal input interface, a first output interface, a second output interface, at least one processing circuit configured as a buffer control portion, at least one memory configured to store an audio signal. The buffer control portion sets a second reading position at a position that precedes a first reading position of the first output interface by delay time, and, when starting output of the audio signal, writes silent data for the delay time in the memory and sets the first reading position at the head of the silent data.
Abstract:
A distribution destination specifying device includes: a related information obtaining portion that obtains related information that indicates a relationship of a plurality of host devices that distribute content to be input, to a client device; a selection receiving portion that receives a selection of one host device among the plurality of host devices; a related host device identifying portion that identifies a related host device related to a selected host device to be selected by the selection receiving portion, based on the related information; and a distribution destination specifying screen display portion that displays a distribution destination specifying screen for specifying a client device as a distribution destination of content of each of the selected host device and the related host device.
Abstract:
Provided is an audio device, including: an audio signal communication unit comprising a reception unit configured to receive an audio signal via wireless communication and a transmission unit configured to transmit an audio signal via wireless communication; a plurality of signal input units including the reception unit; an input selection unit configured to select one signal input unit from among the plurality of signal input units; a control unit configured to control switching of the input selection unit; and a signal processing unit, in which the control unit is configured to: switch, when the input selection unit has selected a signal input unit other than the reception unit, the input selection unit to the selected signal input unit and input an audio signal, which is input from the selected signal input unit, into the signal processing unit; and switch, when the reception unit has received an audio signal via wireless communication, the input selection unit from the selected signal input unit to the reception unit and input the received audio signal into the signal processing unit.
Abstract:
Provided is a control method for a control device including: acquiring a user instruction to control a control target apparatus by a user, generating control speech information in response to the user instruction, the control speech information being speech information representing content of control on the control target apparatus and including auxiliary speech information which is different information from the user instruction, and outputting the generated control speech information to a speech recognition server which executes speech recognition processing.
Abstract:
Provided is an audio device, including: at least one processor; and at least one memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: play, with a given length of delay, a first-channel audio signal included in an audio signal; obtain one of operation information about operation of the audio device and setting information about playing of the audio signal; and transmit one of the operation information and the setting information, and at least a second-channel audio signal included in the audio signal, to another audio device.
Abstract:
An output control device includes a signal input unit configured to receive an audio signal; a first output unit configured to output the audio signal to a first reproducing device; a second output unit configured to output the audio signal to a second reproducing device via communication in which a delay of a first delay time period occurs; and a buffer unit configured to temporarily store the audio signal, to read the temporarily-stored signal, and to output the read signal to the first and the second output units. The buffer unit is configured to advance a second read position, which is a read position in the buffer unit of a buffer signal to be output to the second output unit, by the first delay time period ahead of a first read position, which is a read position of a buffer signal to be output to the first output unit.
Abstract:
An acoustic system includes a supply device, which is connected to a network and configured to supply an acoustic signal to the network and at least one output device configured to output a sound that is based on the acoustic signal supplied from the supply device via the network. The acoustic system also includes a detection unit configured to detect whether the at least one output device is in a state of being capable of outputting the sound and a control device configured to control, based on a result of the detection by the detection unit, to which output device the acoustic signal is to be supplied out of the at least one output device.
Abstract:
A list screen of a plurality of reproduction devices is displayed on a display unit based on relationship information between the plurality of reproduction devices which is connected via network. Selection of a reproduction device which is made to perform a content reproduction operation among the plurality of reproduction devices is received. A command is transmitted to the selected reproduction device.
Abstract:
A control method for a content reproduction device includes: receiving, from a second content reproduction device connected through a network, acquisition source information on content included in a playlist of the second content reproduction device; and determining whether or not reproduction of the content is possible.
