Abstract
A distribution assistance apparatus and a distribution assistance method are provided. An input and output IF mixes a sound input from an HS microphone or a built-in microphone with a sound signal of distribution data received from a portable terminal and outputs the sound. Even when an addition process or an effect is applied to distribution data in the portable terminal, a sound input from the HS microphone or the built-in microphone can be output through a monitor at that point in time without causing a latency.
Claims18
A distribution assistance apparatus that instructs a distribution apparatus connected to an Internet and performing Internet distribution of a sound or a video to perform various distribution instructions and performs Internet distribution using the distribution apparatus, the distribution assistance apparatus comprising:
- a sound input unit that inputs a sound;
- a sound transmission unit that transmits the sound input to the sound input unit to the distribution apparatus;
- an effect instruction unit that is an effect button, configured to be pressed so as to instruct the distribution apparatus to apply an effect processing on the sound transmitted from the sound transmission unit to the distribution apparatus and perform Internet distribution of the sound;
- a sound reception unit that receives a sound signal on which the effect processing has been performed by the distribution apparatus in response to an instruction of the effect instruction unit;
- and
- a sound output unit that outputs the sound signal received by the sound reception unit and the sound input to the sound input unit from the distribution assistance apparatus.
A distribution assistance method executed by a distribution assistance apparatus that instructs a distribution apparatus connected to an Internet and performing Internet distribution of a sound or a video to perform various distribution instructions and performs Internet distribution using the distribution apparatus, the distribution assistance method comprising:
- a sound input step of inputting a sound;
- a sound transmission step of transmitting the sound input through the sound input step to the distribution apparatus;
- an effect instruction step of pressing an effect instruction unit that is an effect button so as to instruct the distribution apparatus to apply an effect processing on the sound transmitted to the distribution apparatus through the sound transmission step and perform Internet distribution of the sound;
- a sound reception step of receiving a sound signal on which the effect processing has been performed by the distribution apparatus in response to an instruction given through the effect instruction step;
- and
- a sound output step of outputting the sound signal received through the sound reception step and the sound input through the sound input step from the distribution assistance apparatus.
