Apparatus for generating directional sound and mobile terminal using the same

Abstract

Provided are an apparatus for generating directional sound and a mobile terminal using the apparatus. The apparatus includes a signal controller for dividing and generating a reference signal into signals having three or more levels and phases, a first signal processor and a second signal processor for controlling a first signal and a second signal having levels and phases canceling each other among the signals generated from the signal controller, a central signal processor for controlling a signal having the same level and phase as the reference signal among the signals generated from the signal controller, a first speaker array and a second speaker array for converting signals output from the first signal processor and the second signal processor into sound signals and outputting the sound signals, and a central speaker for converting a signal output from the central signal processor into a sound signal and outputting the sound signal, and arranged between the first speaker array and the second speaker array.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
