  • Publication number: 20200213738
    Abstract: A signal processing device of an embodiment includes a measurement signal generation unit that generates a measurement signal to be output from the sound source, a sound pickup signal acquisition unit that acquires sound pickup signals picked up by a plurality of microphones, a sound source information acquisition unit that acquires sound source information about a horizontal angle of a sound source, filters that have a passband set based on the sound source information and output a filter passing signal in response to input of the sound pickup signals, a phase difference detection unit that detects a phase difference between two sound pickup signals based on the filter passing signal, and a determination unit that determines a result of measurement of the sound pickup signals by comparing the phase difference with an effective range set based on the sound source information.

  • Publication number: 20200213702
    Abstract: A signal processing device according to an embodiment includes a measurement signal generation unit that generates a first measurement signal and outputs the signal to headphones, a sound pickup signal acquisition unit that acquires a first sound pickup signal obtained by picking up the first measurement signal by a microphone, a signal analysis unit that calculates a frequency response of the first sound pickup signal, a fit determination unit that determine a fit of the headphones by comparing a response value of the frequency response in a specified frequency band with a reference value, and a display unit that outputs gradual results of the determination in accordance with a percentage of the response value with respect to the reference value.

  • Publication number: 20200068337
    Abstract: An out-of-head localization filter determination system according to an embodiment includes headphones, a microphone unit, an out-of-head localization device, and a server device. The out-of-head localization device transmits user data based on measurement data to the server. The server device includes a data storage unit configured to store a plurality of first and second preset data acquired for a plurality of persons being measured, a comparison unit configured to compare the user data with the plurality of second preset data, and an extraction unit configured to extract first preset data from the plurality of first preset data based on a comparison result.

  • Publication number: 20190379975
    Abstract: A processor of a filter generation device according to an embodiment includes an extraction unit that extracts a first signal having a first number of samples from samples preceding a boundary sample of a sound pickup signal, a signal generation unit that generates a second signal containing a direct sound from a sound source and having a second number of samples larger than the first number of samples based on the first signal, a transform unit that transforms the second signal into a frequency domain and generates a spectrum, a correction unit that increases a value of the spectrum in a correction band and generates a corrected spectrum, an inverse transform unit that inversely transforms the corrected spectrum into a time domain and generates a corrected signal, and a generation unit that generates a filter based on the sound pickup signal and the corrected signal.

  • Publication number: 20190373385
    Abstract: A sound pickup device according to this embodiment includes a microphone part placed at a sound pickup position in close proximity to an ear hole without blocking an ear canal, and positioned so as to face outside of the ear canal, and a wire having flexibility and extending to the sound pickup position. Further, in this embodiment, at least part of the wire is formed along an auricle.
