Abstract: A sound collecting control apparatus includes: a vehicle stop detector; a noise source direction specifier to specify a direction from the sound collector to a noise source of the vehicle stopped at the predetermined position; a search beam former that forms a plurality of search beams in the direction of the noise source specified by the noise source direction specifier and around the direction of the noise source so as to search for a sound source of a voice of a speaker in the vehicle; a search beam selector that selects a search beam corresponding to the sound source of the voice of the speaker in the vehicle from the plurality of search beams formed by the search beam former; and a directivity former that forms directivity of the sound collected by the sound collector in the direction corresponding to the search beam selected by the search beam selector.

Abstract: In an information providing terminal, a display switching controller instructs to switch between pieces of display content of a third display panel from an image of a face of a user captured by a first camera to an image captured by any one of a second camera, a third camera, and a fourth camera. The display switching controller instructs to switch between pieces of display content of a fourth display panel from an image of hands of the user captured by the second camera to an image which is captured by any one of the first camera, the third camera, and the fourth camera.

Abstract: In an information providing terminal, a half mirror, which reflects display content of a third display panel toward an operator and causes incident light of a third camera to pass therethrough, is obliquely attached to a part above a fourth display panel by 45° with respect to a horizontal direction. The third camera is disposed behind the half mirror. The operator has a conversation with a user while viewing a facial picture of the user which is projected by the third display panel and is reflected in the half mirror. The third camera disposed at a back of the half mirror images a facial picture of the operator from the front over the half mirror. At this time, the facial picture of the operator, which faces the front, is projected onto a first display panel of an information displaying terminal.

Abstract: It is possible to provide a sense of realism that a user actually faces a communication partner and to accurately and simply transmit information. In information display system (5), first display panel (21) displays a face and a part of an upper body of an operator op captured by third camera (63) and second display panel (22) displays hands of operator op captured by fourth camera (64) in information display terminal (10). In information provision terminal (50), third display panel (53) displays a face of the user captured by first camera (31), and fourth display panel (54) displays hands of the user captured by second camera (32).
