Control apparatus, computer readable medium and microphone system

A control device for controlling a plurality of receiver devices that are located at different places, wherein each respective receiver device (i) receives a sound signal transmitted from a wireless microphone by radio, (ii) is connected to a respective speaker from among a plurality of speakers, and (iii) is capable of causing the respective speaker to output sound based on the sound signal, the control device comprising:

• an information acquisition part that acquires quality information indicating a quality of the sound signal received by the plurality of receiver devices;
• and
• a determination part that determines from among the plurality of output receiver devices, on a basis of the quality of the sound signal indicated by the quality information, an output receiver device that causes the respective speaker to output the sound based on the signal and a non-output receiver device that does not cause the respective speaker to output the sound based on the sound signal,
• wherein
• the information acquisition part further acquires permission/rejection information set in the wireless microphone, the permission/rejection information indicating whether to permit a switching of the non-output receiver device, and
• the determination part determines the non-output receiver device on a basis of the quality of the sound signal if the permission/rejection information indicates permission to switch the non-output receiver device, and does not determine the non-output receiver device on the basis of the quality of the sound signal if the permission/rejection information does not indicate permission to switch the non-output receiver device.

A microphone system comprising:

• a wireless microphone;
• a plurality of receiver devices that are located at different places, wherein each respective receiver device (i) receives a sound signal transmitted by the wireless microphone by radio, (ii) is connected to a respective speaker from among a plurality of speakers, and (iii) is capable of causing the respective speaker to output sound based on the sound signal;
• and
• a control device that controls the plurality of receiver devices,
• wherein the control device includes:
• an information acquisition part that acquires quality information indicating a quality of the sound signal received by the plurality of receiver devices, and
• a determination part that determines from among the plurality of output receiver devices, on a basis of the quality of the sound signal indicated by the quality information, an output receiver device that causes the respective speaker to output the sound based on the signal and a non-output receiver device that does not cause the respective speaker to output the sound based on the sound signal.

A control device for controlling a plurality of receiver devices that are located at different places, wherein each respective receiver device (i) receives a sound signal transmitted from a wireless microphone by radio, (ii) is connected to a respective speaker from among a plurality of speakers, and (iii) is capable of causing the respective speaker to output sound based on the sound signal, the control device comprising:

• an information acquisition part that acquires quality information indicating a quality of the sound signal received by the plurality of receiver devices;
• and
• a determination part that determines from among the plurality of output receiver devices, on a basis of the quality of the sound signal indicated by the quality information, an output receiver device that causes the respective speaker to output the sound based on the signal and a non-output receiver device that does not cause the respective speaker to output the sound based on the sound signal,
• wherein
• the determination part determines a receiver device of the plurality of receiver devices having the quality information indicating a highest sound signal quality as the output receiver device and all other receiver devices of the plurality of receiver devices as the non-output receiver devices.

A control device for controlling a plurality of receiver devices that each receive a sound signal transmitted from a wireless microphone by radio, the control device comprising:

• an information acquisition part that acquires quality information indicating a quality of the sound signal received by the plurality of receiver devices;
• and
• a determination part that determines from among the plurality of output receiver devices, on a basis of the quality of the sound signal indicated by the quality information, a non-output receiver device that does not cause a speaker to output the sound based on the sound signal, wherein
• the determination part switches a status such that a first receiver device of the plurality of receiver devices causes a speaker to output the sound and a second receiver device of the plurality of receiver devices does not cause a speaker to output the sound on a condition where (i) a first quality of the sound signal received by the first receiver device is better than a second quality of the sound signal received by the second receiver device and (ii) a difference between the first quality and the second quality is larger than a difference threshold, the first receiver device being the non-output receiver device not outputting the sound based on the sound signal, and the second receiver device being the output receiver device outputting the sound based on the sound signal.

A control device for controlling a plurality of receiver devices that each receive a sound signal transmitted from a wireless microphone by radio, the control device comprising:

• an information acquisition part that acquires quality information indicating a quality of the sound signal received by the plurality of receiver devices;
• a determination part that determines from among the plurality of output receiver devices, on a basis of the quality of the sound signal indicated by the quality information, a non-output receiver device that does not cause a speaker to output the sound based on the sound signal;
• and
• an input receiving part that receives an input of a usage mode of the wireless microphone, wherein
• the determination part determines the non-output receiver device by comparing the quality to a first criterion for not frequently causing the switching of the receiver device that outputs the sound signal in a first usage mode, and determines the non-output receiver device by comparing the quality to a second criterion, with which the receiver device that outputs the sound signal is easier to be switched than with the first criteria, in a second usage mode that differs from the first usage mode.
