SOLUTION: An AV amplifier 20 is set in a speaker setting table, and a rotation angle of a sink speaker based on the distance from the viewing position to the sink speaker and the height from the viewing position of the sink speaker. Is calculated and transmitted to the sink device via the CEC line. The sink device rotates the sink speaker by the rotation angle based on the received information on the rotation angle. Therefore, the direction of the sink speaker can be automatically directed to the viewing position. [Selected figure] Figure 10 Voice reproduction system, voice processing device, sink device and program thereof [0001] The present invention relates to an audio reproduction system for reproducing multi-channel audio data. [0002] An audio reproduction system including a DVD player that is a source device compliant with the HDMI standard, an AV amplifier that is a repeater device, and a projector or display device that is a sink device is used, and HDMI data output from the source device is used. By including video data and audio data, one HDMI cable can transmit both video data and audio data to the repeater device. 10-05-2019 1 The AV amplifier converts the HDMI data received from the DVD player into the original video data and audio data, amplifies the audio data and outputs it to a speaker, converts the video data into HDMI data again, and transmits it to the projector. The projector converts the received HDMI data into the original video data and projects it on the screen. [0003] The audio data included in the HDMI data transmitted from the DVD player to the AV amplifier is the multichannel audio data encoded. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, multi-channel audio data includes left audio data L, right audio data R, central audio data C, low-pass audio data SW, surround left audio data SL, surround right audio data SR, and surround back The 7.1ch multichannel audio data including the left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR is adopted. [0004] However, in order to reproduce audio data of each channel of these multi-channel audio data, it is necessary to connect eight speakers to an AV amplifier via a speaker cable. Therefore, the user needs to prepare eight speakers, which is costly. Also, in general, the AV amplifier is disposed in front of the user (viewing position), so in order to connect the AV amplifier with the surround back left speaker SSBL and the surround back right speaker SSBR, the inside of the room is viewed from the front It is necessary to route the speaker cable toward the rear, which is cumbersome and does not look good. [0005] The following techniques have been proposed to solve this problem. The AV amplifier transmits HDMI data including the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data to the projector. The projector reproduces the surround back left audio data SBL included in the received HDMI data from the projector left speaker, and reproduces the surround back right audio data SBR from the projector right speaker. Thereby, the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR can be reproduced without arranging the surround back left speaker SSBL and the surround back right speaker SSBR. 10-05-2019 2 [0006] Here, the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR may include high frequency components, and the high frequency components have a feature that the directivity is narrow. Therefore, the direction of the diaphragm of the speaker provided in the projector (the direction of the sound wave) is very important, and the speaker needs to be directed to the viewing position (the user's ear).

[0038] The height SSBL Height of the surround back left speaker SSBL means the height from the viewing position of the surround back left speaker SSBL (specifically, the position of the user's ear). That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the height SSBL Height of the surround back left speaker SSBL is the viewing position (user's position (user) from the height from the floor surface of the surround back left speaker SSBL (here, equivalent to the projector left speaker SLP). The position of the ear of the) is the value obtained by subtracting the height from the floor surface. The height of the projector left speaker SLP from the floor surface may be determined by the center position of the 10-05-2019 11 projector left speaker SLP (the position of the dashed arrow A).

[0040] The system control unit 23 sets the distance SSBL Distance from the viewing position to the surround back left speaker SSBL (and the surround back right speaker SSBR) set in the speaker setting table, the surround back left speaker SSBL (and the surround back right speaker SSBR The rotation angle θ of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP is calculated based on the height SSBL Height). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotation angle θ is calculated by sinθ = height SSBL Height of surround back left speaker SSBL / distance SSBL Distance from viewing position to surround back left speaker SSBL. In this example, the distance from the viewing position to the surround back left speaker SSBL is equal to the distance from the viewing position to the surround back right speaker SSBR, and the height of the surround back left speaker SSBL and the surround back right speaker SSBR The explanation is based on the assumption that the heights are equal. However, if they are different, it is possible to individually set each in the speaker setting table of FIG. 5 and separately calculate the rotation angle of the projector left speaker SLP and the rotation angle of the projector right speaker SRP. . [0041] The system control unit 23 transmits information on the calculated angle to the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 via the CEC line, and controls rotation of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP.

[0043] The HDMI reception unit 31 receives the HDMI data transmitted from the HDMI transmission unit 22 of the AV amplifier 20, generates the original video data from the HDMI data, and supplies the video data to the projection unit 32 via the video processing unit 36. Also, the HDMI receiving unit 31 generates original audio data from the HDMI data, and supplies the generated audio data to the audio processing unit 39. The audio data is SPDIF (PCM) data including the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR as described above. [0044] The audio processing unit 39 executes audio data supplied from the HDMI receiving unit 31 such as D / A conversion processing, volume adjustment processing, amplification processing, and the like, and supplies the processed data to the speaker 40. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the audio processing unit 39. As shown in FIG. The audio processing unit 39 includes a DAC (digital-analog converter) 51, a volume adjustment unit 52, and an amplification processing unit 53. [0045] The DAC 51 performs digital-to-analog conversion on audio data supplied from the HDMI reception unit 31 and supplies an analog audio signal to the volume adjustment unit 52. The volume adjustment unit 52 adjusts the volume value of the analog audio signal from the DAC 51, and supplies the volume value to the amplification processing unit 53. The volume value of the volume adjustment unit 52 is adjusted by the system control unit 33 to the volume value included in the volume setting command from the system control unit 14 of the AV amplifier 20. 10-05-2019 13 The amplification processing unit 53 amplifies the audio signal from the volume adjustment unit 52 and outputs it to a speaker. That is, the surround back left audio data SBL is reproduced from the projector left speaker SLP, and the surround back right audio data SBR is reproduced from the projector right speaker SRP. [0046] Returning to FIG. 3, the projection unit 32 is supplied with video data from the HDMI reception unit 31, and projects a video on a screen (not shown) based on the video data. The screen is attached to a wall surface in front of the viewer. [0047] The speaker rotation control unit 37 rotates the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP in response to an instruction from the system control unit 33. For example, the speaker rotation control unit 37 is realized by a known technique such as a motor for rotation control. It is done. [0048] The system control unit 33 controls the HDMI reception unit 31, the projection unit 32, the memory 34, the speaker rotation control unit 37, the audio processing unit 39, and the like based on the operation program of the projector stored in the built-in or connected memory. For example, a microcomputer, a CPU, or the like. The system control unit 33 executes various processes based on the operation input from the operation unit 35 or the control signal and data from each unit. [0049] When the system control unit 33 receives the angle information θ from the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 via the CEC line, the system control unit 33 rotates the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP by the angle θ. The motion control unit 37 is controlled. 10-05-2019 14 [0050] [Operation of Audio Reproduction System] First, referring to the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 and 9, processing for reproducing surround left audio data SBL from the projector left speaker SLP and reproducing surround right audio data SBR from the projector right speaker SRP is described. explain. As shown in FIG. 8, the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 monitors whether HDMI data is input from the DVD player 10, that is, whether the HDMI reception unit 21 receives HDMI data. (S11). When the HDMI data is input (YES in S11), the system control unit 23 determines whether the projector 30 is connected to the AV amplifier 20 (S12). For example, when the projector 30 is connected via the HDMI cable, since the hot plug output from the projector 30 is at the high level, the connection can be determined by determining the level of the hot plug. Here, since the projector 30 is connected (YES in S12), the process proceeds to S13. The connection confirmation includes the meaning of the confirmation as to whether the power of the projector 30 is in the on state. [0051] Next, the system control unit 23 determines whether the projector 30 has an audio reproduction function, that is, whether the projector 30 has an audio processing unit 39, a projector left speaker SLP, and a projector right speaker SRP. (S13). For example, when the projector 30 is connected via the HDMI cable, the EDID including the device information can be acquired from the projector 30, so that the audio reproduction function can be performed by analyzing the device information included in the acquired EDID. It can be determined whether or not it has. Here, since the voice reproduction function is provided (YES in S13), the process proceeds to S14. [0052] Next, since the system control unit 23 prepares to reproduce the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR with the speakers of the projector 30, the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 performs volume control via the CEC line. The setting command is transmitted (S14). The volume setting command includes a volume value (not a relative value but an absolute value, for example, in dB units) set in the current volume 10-05-2019 15 adjustment unit 43 of the AV amplifier 20. [0053] As shown in FIG. 9, the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 monitors whether a volume setting command has been received from the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 via the CEC line (S31). When the volume setting command is received (YES in S31), the system control unit 33 reads the volume value included in the volume setting command, and sets the volume value of the volume adjustment unit 52 as the volume value (S32). Subsequently, the system control unit 33 transmits a volume setting completion notification to the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 via the CEC line (S33). Thereafter, the projector 30 stands by until receiving HDMI data from the AV amplifier 20. [0054] Referring back to FIG. 8, the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 monitors whether the volume setting completion notification has been received from the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 via the CEC line (S15). When the volume setting completion notification is received (YES in S15), the system control unit 23 controls the audio processing unit 26 and the HDMI transmission unit 22 to execute multi-channel audio data decoding and transmission of the HDMI data to the projector 30. To do (S16). [0055] Specifically, the audio processing unit 26 (DSP 41) decodes audio data of each channel. The DSP 41 supplies the decoded surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR to the converter 45. The conversion unit 45 converts the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR into SPDIF (PCM) data, and supplies the SPDIF (PCM) data to the HDMI transmission unit 22. The HDMI transmitting unit 22 generates HDMI data from the video data, the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR, and transmits the HDMI data to the HDMI receiving unit 31 of the projector 30. [0056] 10-05-2019 16 As shown in FIG. 9, when receiving HDMI data, the HDMI receiving unit 31 of the projector 30 generates the original video data and the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR, and projects the video data. The audio data is supplied to the section 32, and the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR are supplied to the audio processing section 39 (S34). The system control unit 33 controls the volume adjustment unit 52 and the amplification processing unit 53 to release the mute state (S35). In the audio processing unit 39, the DAC 51 performs digital-to-analog conversion of audio data, the volume adjustment unit 52 adjusts the volume value of the analog audio signal, and the amplification processing unit 53 amplifies the analog audio signal and outputs it to the speaker. As a result, the surround back left audio data SBL is reproduced from the projector left speaker SLP, and the surround back right audio data SBR is reproduced from the projector right speaker SRP (S36). [0057] Referring back to FIG. 8, the DSP 41 supplies the decoded left audio data L, right audio data R, central audio data C, low-pass audio data SW, surround left audio data SL, and surround right audio data SR to the DAC 42. The DAC 42 performs digital-analog conversion on audio data, the volume adjustment unit 52 adjusts the volume value of the analog audio signal, and the amplification processing unit 53 amplifies the analog audio signal and outputs it to a speaker. As a result, the left audio data L is reproduced from the left speaker SL, the right audio data R is reproduced from the right speaker SR, the central audio data C is reproduced from the central speaker SC, and the low frequency audio data SW from the low frequency speaker SSW. The surround left audio data SL is reproduced from the surround left speaker SSL, and the surround right audio data SR is reproduced from the surround right speaker SSR (S17). [0058] As described above, the surround back left speaker and the surround back right speaker are separately disposed by reproducing the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR using the speakers provided in the projector 30. There is no need. When multichannel audio data includes only 1 channel backward audio data instead of surround backward left audio data SBL and surround backward right audio data SBR, a speaker provided with projector 30 for the backward audio data is used. You can use and play. In this case, the projector 30 may be provided with at least one speaker. 10-05-2019 17 [0059] If it is determined in S12 that the projector 30 is not connected to the AV amplifier 20 (NO in S12), or if it is determined in S13 that the projector 30 does not have an audio reproduction function (S13) And the process proceeds to S18, where the normal reproduction process is performed. In this case, the DSP 41 supplies the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR to the DAC 42 instead of the converter 45. The DAC 42 performs digital-analog conversion on the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR, the volume adjustment unit 52 adjusts the volume value of the analog audio signal, and the amplification processing unit 53 amplifies the analog audio signal. Output to the speaker. As a result, if the surround back left speaker and the surround back right speaker are connected to the AV amplifier 20, the surround back left audio data SBL is reproduced from the surround back left speaker and the surround back right audio data from the surround back right speaker It is also possible to regenerate the SBR. When the surround back left speaker and the surround back right speaker are not arranged, the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR are added to the audio signals of the other channels, and It is also possible to play from speakers. [0060] Next, with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, processing for rotating the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP based on the setting contents of the speaker setting table will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 determines whether the distance SSBL Distance from the viewing position to the surround back left speaker SSBL (surround back right speaker SSBR) is set in the speaker setting table. It judges (S61). If it is not set (NO in S61), the process ends. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, SSBL Distance is set to 4.0 m (YES in S61). Next, the system control unit 23 refers to the speaker setting table, and determines whether information on whether to output HDMI data to the projector 30 is set to YES (S62). If "NO" is set (NO in S62), the process ends. Here, it is set to "YES" (YES in S62). Subsequently, the system control unit 23 determines in advance whether the setting is made by user operation so as to communicate with the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 via the CEC line (S63). If it is set not to communicate via the CEC line (NO in S63), the process ends. Here, communication is set via the CEC line (YES in S63). [0061] 10-05-2019 18 The system control unit 23 refers to the speaker setting table, and based on the distance SSBL Distance from the viewing position to the surround back left speaker SSBL and the height SSBL Height of the surround back left speaker SSBL, the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right The rotation angle θ of the speaker SRP is calculated. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotation angle θ is calculated by sinθ = high SSBL Height of surround back left speaker SSBL / distance SSBL Distance from viewing position to surround back left speaker SSBL. In the case of FIGS. 5 and 6, sin θ = 1/4. [0062] Subsequently, the system control unit 23 transmits information of the calculated rotation angle θ to the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 via the CEC line (S65). Thereafter, the process waits until a notification is received from the system control unit 33 of the projector 30. [0063] As shown in FIG. 11, the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 monitors the reception of the information θ of the rotation angle from the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 via the CEC line (S71). If received (YES in S71), the system control unit 33 determines whether the received rotation angle θ is within the range of the maximum rotation angle of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP ((S71). S72). The maximum rotatable angle is preset in the memory 34. [0064] If the received rotation angle θ is within the maximum rotation angle of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP (YES in S72), the system control unit 33 causes the speaker rotation control unit 37 to rotate. It is instructed to rotate the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP by the movement angle θ. Incidentally, referring to FIG. 6, the directions of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP (the sound wave emitting direction, the direction of the diaphragm) are initially forward and parallel to the floor surface (broken line arrow A). It shall be facing. In response to the instruction from the system control unit 33, the speaker rotation control unit 37 rotates the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP by the angle θ in the counterclockwise direction (downward 10-05-2019 19 direction) in FIG. 6 (S73). As a result, the direction of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP is a dashed arrow B in FIG. 6, and is directed to the viewing position (user's ear). [0065] Subsequently, the system control unit 33 transmits a normal notification to the effect that the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP can be normally rotated to the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 via the CEC line. (S74). [0066] On the other hand, if the received rotation angle θ is not within the maximum rotation angle of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP in S72 (NO in S72), the system control unit 33 instructs the speaker rotation control unit 37. On the other hand, no instruction is given to rotate the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP by the rotation angle θ. As a result, the directions of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP remain unchanged as the dashed arrow A. After that, the system control unit 33 transmits an abnormality notification that the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP can not be rotated normally to the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 via the CEC line. (S75). [0067] Returning to FIG. 10, when the system control unit 23 of the AV amplifier 20 receives a notification from the system control unit 33 of the projector 30 via the CEC line (YES in S66), whether the notification content is a normal notification or not (S67). If the notification is normal (YES in S67), the process ends. On the other hand, if it is an abnormality notification (NO in S67), the orientation of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP could not be directed to the viewing position, and that effect is displayed on the operation display unit 24 to notify the user. . Furthermore, in order to turn the direction of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP toward the viewing position, the distance SSBL Distance from the viewing position to the surround back left speaker SSBL in the speaker setting table and the surround back left It is displayed on the operation display unit 24 that at least one of the height 10-05-2019 20 SSBL Height of the speaker SSBL needs to be changed, and the user is notified (S68). [0068] As described above, according to the present embodiment, by inputting the setting contents of the speaker setting table, it is possible to turn the direction of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP to the viewing position. [0069] Another Embodiment Next, another preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this example, one of the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 and the arrangement of the projector 30 and each speaker as shown in FIG. 12 can be selectively adopted. In FIG. 12, the projector 30 is disposed in front of the viewing position (user), and the center speaker SC is not connected to the AV amplifier 20B, but the surround back left speaker SSBL and the surround back right speaker SSBR Is connected. In the present embodiment, when the projector 30 is disposed behind the viewing position as shown in FIG. 1 according to the positional relationship between the projector 30 and the viewing position, the projector 30 is provided in the above-described embodiment. The surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR are reproduced using a speaker. On the other hand, when the projector 30 is disposed in front of the viewing position as shown in FIG. 12, the central audio data C is reproduced using the speaker provided in the projector 30. [0070] The memory 25 stores a projector arrangement table shown in FIG. In addition, it is possible to input information as to whether the projector 30 is disposed in front of the viewing position or in which the projector 30 is disposed behind the viewing position by the user operation via the operation display unit 24. When the information indicating that the projector 30 is to be arranged in front of the user is input by the user operation, the system control unit 23 sets forward of the user in the projector arrangement table and arranges the projector 30 behind the user. When the information to the effect is input, the system control unit 23 sets rear of the user in the projector arrangement table. 10-05-2019 21 [0071] FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the audio processing unit 26B of this example. The voice processing unit 26B is different from the voice processing unit 26 of FIG. 4 in that the switching unit 46 is provided inside the DSP 41. The switching unit 46 may be provided in the rear stage of the DSP 41 (between the DSP 41 and the DAC 42 and between the DSP 41 and the converting unit 45). [0072] The DSP 41 decodes multi-channel audio data supplied from the HDMI receiving unit 21 and generates audio data of each channel decoded. Among the audio data decoded by the DSP 41, the left audio data L, right audio data R, low-pass audio data SW, surround left audio data SL, and surround right audio data SR are supplied to the DAC 42 as they are. On the other hand, the central audio data C, the surround back left audio data SBL, and the surround back right audio data SBR are supplied to the switching unit 46. [0073] The switching unit 46 supplies the center audio data C, the surround back left audio data SBL, and the surround back right audio data SBR to the DAC 42 (that is, reproduces from a speaker connected to the AV amplifier 20) or a conversion unit It is selected whether to supply 45 (that is, to play from the speaker of the projector 30). Specifically, the switching unit 42 supplies the switch SW1 for switching whether the central audio data C is supplied to the DAC 42 or the switch SW4 (and the switch SW5) and the surround back left audio data SBL to either the DAC 42 or the switch SW4. To the conversion unit 45, and the switch SW3 to switch the surround back right audio data SBR to either the DAC 42 or the switch SW5, and the central audio data C or the surround back left audio data SBL to the conversion unit 45 And a switch SW5 for switching which of the central audio data C and the surround back right audio data SBR is to be supplied to the converter 45. [0074] 10-05-2019 22 The conversion unit 45 is supplied with the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR or the center audio data C from the switching unit 46. The conversion unit 45 converts the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR, or the central audio data C into SPDIF audio data based on each clock (not shown), and outputs it to the HDMI transmission unit 22. Supply. [0075] If the projector 30 is rear of the user with reference to the projector arrangement table, the system control unit 23 sets the rotation angle θ of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP, as in the above embodiment. sin θ = high SSBL Height of surround rear left speaker SSBL / a distance from the viewing position to the surround rear left speaker SSBL, calculated by SSBL Distance. [0076] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, when the projector 30 is in front of the user , the system control unit 23 sets the rotation angle θ of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP to 180−θ ′ (however, sin θ). '= High SSBL Height of surround back left speaker SSBL / distance SSBL Distance from viewing position to surround back left speaker SSBL). Therefore, when the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP initially face the front opposite to the viewing position (broken line arrow A), the direction of the viewing position that is the rear side by rotating (broken line It will turn to arrow B). [0077] FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the process in this example of S16 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, the system control unit 23 refers to the projector arrangement table, and determines whether the projector 30 is arranged behind the user (S21). [0078] 10-05-2019 23 If the projector 30 is disposed behind the user (YES in S21), the system control unit 23 outputs the central audio data C to the DAC 42, and the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR The switching unit 46 is controlled to output to the converting unit 45. That is, the switch SW1 selects the terminal a, and the switches SW2 to SW5 select the terminal b. Therefore, the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR are converted into HDMI data and transmitted to the projector 30. Thereby, in FIG. 1, the central audio data C is reproduced from the central speaker SC, the surround back left audio data SBL is reproduced from the projector left speaker SLP, and the surround back right audio data SBR is reproduced from the projector right speaker SRP S22). [0079] When the projector 30 is disposed in front of the user (NO in S21), the system control unit 23 outputs the surround back left audio data SBL and the surround back right audio data SBR to the DAC 42, and the central audio data C. The switching unit 46 is controlled to output to the converting unit 45. That is, the switch SW1 selects the terminal b, and the switches SW2 to SW5 select the terminal a. Accordingly, the central audio data C is converted into HDMI data and transmitted to the projector 30. Thereby, in FIG. 12, the surround back left audio data SBL is reproduced from the surround back left speaker SSBL, the surround back right audio data SBR is reproduced from the surround back right speaker SSBR, and the center from the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP. The audio data C is reproduced (S23). [0080] As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the audio data reproduced from the speaker of the projector 30 can be appropriately changed by the arrangement of the projector 30, optimal audio data can be reproduced. Further, by the arrangement of the projector 30, the turning angle can be appropriately set so that the direction of the projector left speaker SLP and the projector right speaker SRP is directed to the user. [0081] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
