Abstract
An electronic device includes processing circuitry configured to produce an audio sound from a virtual sound source position. The circuitry also acquires from a user-input a sound position information of a perceived sound source position, and then controls an enable or disable of a function of the electronic device based on a relationship between the virtual sound source position and the perceived sound source position.
Claims16
An electronic device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- acquire an attribute of a user;
- produce a virtual sound effect at a virtual sound source position based on the acquired attribute of the user;
- acquire a user input that indicates a perceived sound source position;
- compare the perceived sound source position with the virtual sound source position;
- and
- control a function of the electronic device based on the comparison.
An electronic device including processing circuitry, configured to:
- acquire an attribute of a user;
- produce a virtual sound effect at a first locus determined based on the acquired attribute of the user;
- acquire a user input that indicates a second locus of a perceived sound source position;
- and
- control a function of the electronic device based on a relationship between the first locus and the second locus of the perceived sound source position.
An information processing method, comprising:
- in an electronic device:
- acquiring an attribute of a user;
- producing a virtual sound effect at a virtual sound source position based on the acquired attribute of the user;
- acquiring a user input indicating a perceived sound source position;
- comparing the perceived sound source position with the virtual sound source position;
- and
- controlling a function of the electronic device based on the comparison.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring an attribute of a user;
- producing a virtual sound effect at a virtual sound source position based on the acquired attribute of the user;
- acquiring a user input indicating a perceived sound source position;
- comparing the perceived sound source position with the virtual sound source position;
- and
- controlling a function of the electronic device based on the comparison.
