Abstract:
A plurality of sound receiving units is installed onto an equipment body. An initial information memory stores an initial direction of the equipment body in a terminal coordinate system based on the equipment body. An orientation detection unit detects an orientation of the equipment body in a world coordinate system based on a real space. A lock information output unit outputs lock information representing to rock the orientation. An orientation information memory stores the orientation detected when the lock information is output. A direction conversion unit converts the initial direction to a target sound direction in the world coordinate system by using the orientation stored in the orientation information memory. A directivity forming unit forms a directivity of the plurality of sound receiving units toward the target sound direction.
