  • Publication number: 20230419928
    Abstract: An indicator device includes a plurality of light emitters and at least one processor. The processor obtains, at intervals of a first period, a first period maximum value representing a maximum volume among a plurality of pieces of volume information based on an input signal. The processor obtains, for each second period including a plurality of first periods each being the first period, a minimum value among first period maximum values each being the first period maximum value as a second period minimum value and a maximum value among the first period maximum values as a second period maximum value. The processor controls light emission of the light emitters based on a relative ratio of a predetermined first period maximum value among the first period maximum values. The relative ratio is based on the second period minimum value and the second period maximum value.
