  • Publication number: 20220066733
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a head-mountable information processing apparatus allowing a user to hear a desired sound even if ambient sound unnecessary for the user is present. An audio input interface includes sound microphones worn in the vicinity of the user's ear, collects the ambient sound that occurs outside the head-mountable information processing apparatus, and converts the ambient sound into an input audio signal. An audio output interface, including headphones, converts a generated output audio signal for output, and emits the audio output toward the user. Based on a volume level of the input audio signal and a volume level of the output audio signal, a controller determines whether or not a state in which the ambient sound is preventing the audio for output from being heard is occurring, and based on a determination result, the controller controls a sound emission operation of the audio output interface.

  • Publication number: 20210256104
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a voice input processing unit, a memory, and a controller. The voice input processing unit takes in voice of a user of the information processing apparatus to convert the voice into a first voice signal. The controller extracts a first voice feature from the first voice signal to compare it with voice features registered in the memory. When the first voice feature is not matched with any voice features, the controller executes a process for storing the first voice feature in the memory to be associated with the registration target user, a process for generating a voice password based on the first voice feature, and a process for storing the voice password in the memory. The controller executes user authentication processing for an authentication target user by using the voice password in the memory by the user registering process.
