[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-101074 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Due to the rapid spread of online conferences in recent years, there is a demand for constructing not only meeting booths as described above, but also systems for conducting online conferences in shared spaces. However, constructing such a system in a shared space causes a problem in that the conversation voice output from the speaker during the online conference leaks to the surroundings. Such leakage of the conversation voice may interfere with the conversation of people nearby who are not participants in the online conference. In addition, there is a risk of compromising the confidentiality of the contents of the online conference.
[0005] One aspect of the present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a speaker device that can provide a comfortable online conference. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, a speaker device according to one embodiment of the present invention is a speaker device used for online conferences, and includes an online conference speaker that outputs audio for the online conference, a first sound reflecting member that is arranged above the online conference speaker and has a first reflecting surface that reflects the sound output from the online conference speaker downward, and a support part that suspends and supports the online conference speaker. Effect of the Invention
[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a comfortable online conference can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 4] FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing an overall configuration of a speaker device according to another modified example of the present invention. [Diagram 5] FIG. 11 is a side view showing an overall configuration of a speaker device according to another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0009] <Terminology> In this specification, the term "shared space" is used to mean a space shared by multiple people. The shared space may be any space in which a speaker device used for online conferences is expected to be installed, and is not particularly limited. Examples of shared spaces include office spaces, spaces in stores, spaces in facilities, residential spaces, and common spaces shared by multiple residences. Stores and facilities are not particularly limited, and examples of stores include cafes and restaurants, and examples of facilities include schools. The shared space may be an indoor space or an outdoor space. The shared space may be an open space. An open space is a term commonly used in relation to office spaces and the like, and can be said to be a space different from closed spaces such as conference rooms.
[0010] In addition, "a sound source has directionality" means that the way sound travels varies depending on the direction seen from the sound source. "The central axis of the directionality of a sound source" means, in the case of a sound source having directionality, the axis indicating the direction (main direction) in which the strength of the sound waves output from the sound source is the strongest.
[0011] In addition, when a sound "travels upward (downward)," it means that the direction of sound travel contains at least a vertically upward (downward) component. Similarly, when a sound is "reflected upward (downward)," it means that the sound is reflected so that the direction of the reflected sound travels contains at least a vertically upward (downward) component.
[0012] [Embodiment 1] <Overall configuration of the speaker device> 1 is a perspective view showing an overall configuration of a speaker device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. With reference to FIG. 1, an example of the overall configuration of a speaker device 1 used for an online conference will be described below.
[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the speaker device 1 in the first embodiment includes an online conference speaker 11, a first sound reflecting member 12, a sound masking speaker 13, a second sound reflecting member 14, and a support portion 15. The speaker device 1 is provided in correspondence with a desk 21 arranged in a shared space, for example. By providing the speaker device 1 in correspondence with the desk 21, the desk 21 can be used as a conference desk. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the speaker device 1 is provided above the desk 21 in a manner suspended from a ceiling portion 31. The desk 21 is an example of a space where an online conference is held.
[0014] The online conference speaker 11 is a speaker that outputs audio of the online conference. The online conference speaker 11 is provided above the desk 21 so as to output audio to participants (hereinafter also referred to as users) of the online conference who are engaged in the online conference at the desk 21.
[0015] The first sound reflecting member 12 is disposed above the online conference speaker 11. The first sound reflecting member 12 covers the online conference speaker 11 in a top view. Preferably, the first sound reflecting member 12 covers the desk 21 in a top view. The first sound reflecting member 12 is preferably made of a material (a material having a sound-insulating effect) that suppresses the transmission of sounds output from the online conference speaker 11 and the sound masking speaker 13.
[0016] The first sound reflecting member 12 has a first reflecting surface 121 that reflects the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 downward. The first reflecting surface 121 is preferably a parabolic surface curved upward. In other words, the first reflecting surface 121 is a surface on which a parabola that is convex upward is drawn when the parabola is rotated around an axis along the vertical direction as the rotation axis. When the first reflecting surface 121 is a parabolic surface, it is preferable that the output center of the online conference speaker 11 is disposed at a position that is the focus of the parabolic surface or in the vicinity thereof. As a result, the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 will travel with the downward direction as the main direction regardless of where the sound is reflected on the first reflecting surface 121. The first reflecting surface 121 is, for example, the lower surface of the first sound reflecting member 12. Note that the first reflecting surface 121 does not need to be a parabolic surface strictly, and may be, for example, a shape that corresponds to a part of the inner surface of a sphere.
[0017] The first sound reflecting member 12 also has a second reflecting surface 122 that reflects the sound output from the sound masking speaker 13 in a direction different from the direction in which the sound is reflected by the first reflecting surface 121. In detail, the first sound reflecting member 12 reflects the sound output from the sound masking speaker 13 upwards by the second reflecting surface 122. The second reflecting surface 122 may be, for example, a parabolic surface curved upwards. The second reflecting surface 122 is, for example, the upper surface of the first sound reflecting member 12.
[0018] The sound masking speaker 13 is a speaker for outputting a sound (masking sound) that masks conversation voice. Masking refers to making conversation voice difficult to hear by superimposing a masking sound on the conversation voice (i.e., propagating the conversation voice and the masking sound in the same space). The sound masking speaker 13 is provided above the first sound reflecting member 12. In other words, the sound masking speaker 13 is provided on the opposite side of the first sound reflecting member 12 to the online conference speaker 11. The sound masking speaker 13 outputs a masking sound toward the outside of the space where the online conference is held so as to mask the sound output by the online conference speaker 11 that may leak outside (around) the space where the online conference is held.
[0019] A sound absorbing member may be provided on the second reflecting surface 122 (upper surface) of the first sound reflecting member 12. This allows the masking sound output from the sound masking speaker 13 to be absorbed by the second reflecting surface 122, thereby preventing the masking sound from being transmitted downward via the first sound reflecting member 12. In other words, the transmission of the masking sound to online conference participants can be prevented.
[0020] The second sound reflecting member 14 is disposed above the first sound reflecting member 12. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the second sound reflecting member 14 is provided above the sound masking speaker 13 so as to cover the sound masking speaker 13.
[0021] The second sound reflecting member 14 has a third reflecting surface 141 that reflects downward the sound output from the sound masking speaker 13. The third reflecting surface 141 may be, for example, a parabolic surface or a spherical surface curved downward. The third reflecting surface 141 is, for example, the lower surface of the second sound reflecting member 14.
[0022] The support section 15 is a member for supporting and fixing each component of the speaker device 1. In this embodiment, the support section 15 supports the online conference speaker 11 by suspending it above the desk 21.
[0023] 1, the support 15 is fixed to the ceiling 31 of the indoor space. In detail, the support 15 has a hanging member 151 that extends downward from the ceiling 31 of the indoor space and hangs the online conference speaker 11. The hanging member 151 penetrates the first sound reflecting member 12 and the second sound reflecting member 14, and holds the first sound reflecting member 12 and the second sound reflecting member 14 at a predetermined height. The support 15 may also have a plurality of connecting members 152 that connect the first sound reflecting member 12 and the second sound reflecting member 14.
[0024] <Sound travel direction> Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the traveling direction of sounds output from the online conference speaker 11 and the sound masking speaker 13. The solid arrow in Fig. 2 indicates the traveling direction of sounds output from the online conference speaker 11. The dashed arrow in Fig. 2 indicates the traveling direction of sounds output from the sound masking speaker 13.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 2, the online conference speaker 11 has directivity, and the central axis of the directivity intersects with the first reflecting surface 121. That is, the online conference speaker 11 is supported by the support part 15 so that the output part of the online conference speaker 11 faces the first reflecting surface 121. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the central axis of the directivity of the online conference speaker 11 extends directly upward. In this case, the online conference speaker 11 has directivity such that sound is output in a range of 160° to 180° with the directly upward direction as the center.
[0026] In this case, the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 is reflected by the first reflecting surface 121 and travels downward. As a result, the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 reaches the participants of the online conference who are engaged in the online conference at the desk 21 located below the online conference speaker 11. In addition, since the first reflecting surface 121 is a parabolic surface curved upward, the lateral component of the traveling direction of the sound reflected by the first reflecting surface 121 is reduced compared to before being reflected by the first reflecting surface 121. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the online conference speaker 11 is disposed above the focus of the parabolic surface formed by the first reflecting surface 121, and as a result, the main direction of the sound reflected by the first reflecting surface 121 and traveling downward has a slight spread.
[0027] Moreover, the sound masking speaker 13 has directivity, and the central axis of the directivity intersects with the first sound reflecting member 12. That is, the sound masking speaker 13 is supported by the support portion 15 so that the output portion of the sound masking speaker 13 faces the first sound reflecting member 12 (specifically, the second reflecting surface 122). In the example shown in Fig. 2, the central axis of the directivity of the sound masking speaker 13 extends directly downward. The sound masking speaker 13 has directivity such that it outputs sound in a range of 160° to 180° with the directly downward direction as the center.
[0028] In this case, the sound output from the sound masking speaker 13 is reflected by the second reflecting surface 122 and travels upward. A portion of the sound reflected by the second reflecting surface 122 is further reflected by the third reflecting surface 141 and travels downward. When the support part 15 is fixed to the ceiling part 31, the remainder of the sound reflected by the second reflecting surface 122 is reflected by the ceiling part 31 and travels downward. This allows the masking sound to reach people who are not participating in the online conference and who are outside the space where the online conference is held.
[0029] The central axis of the directivity of the online conference speaker 11 does not have to intersect with the first reflecting surface 121. For example, the central axis of the directivity of the online conference speaker 11 may extend downward, and the online conference speaker 11 may output sound in all directions. In this case as well, part of the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 is reflected by the first reflecting surface 121 and travels downward.
[0030] Furthermore, the central axis of the directivity of the sound masking speaker 13 does not have to intersect with the first sound reflecting member 12. For example, the central axis of the directivity of the sound masking speaker 13 may extend upward, and the sound masking speaker 13 may output sound in all directions. In this case, a part of the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 is transmitted directly to the third reflecting surface 141, reflected by the third reflecting surface 141, and travels downward.
[0031] <Advantages of speaker equipment> According to the above configuration, the online conference speaker 11 can be installed above the desk 21 by suspending and supporting the online conference speaker 11 by the support part 15. In addition, the first sound reflecting member 12 having the first reflecting surface 121 is installed above the online conference speaker 11. As a result, at least a part of the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 is reflected downward by the first reflecting surface 121. Therefore, the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 can be effectively transmitted to the user and can be made less likely to leak outside the space where the online conference is held. Therefore, by holding an online conference using the speaker device 1, it is possible to give the user a sense of security that leakage of conversation voice to the surroundings is appropriately suppressed. In other words, a comfortable online conference can be provided.
[0032] Moreover, by supporting the online conference speaker 11 by suspending it, the space above the desk 21 can be effectively utilized to install the speaker device 1. Moreover, the speaker device 1 can be installed above the desk 21 without being fixed to the desk 21. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the layout of the shared space can be improved.
[0033] Furthermore, an online conference can be held without placing electronic devices such as speakers on the desk 21. This makes it possible to provide a comfortable online conference for users.
[0034] Furthermore, a sound masking speaker 13 that outputs a masking sound is provided above the first sound reflecting member 12. As a result, even if the conversation voice output from the online conference speaker 11 leaks to the surroundings, the masking sound output from the sound masking speaker 13 can be superimposed on the conversation voice. As described above, by superimposing the masking sound on the conversation voice, the conversation voice can be made difficult to hear. Therefore, it is possible to dispel the user's anxiety that the leakage of the conversation voice will interfere with the conversation of people nearby who are not the user or will damage the confidentiality of the contents of the online conference.
[0035] <Modification> Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the overall configuration of a speaker device in a modified example. When the support part 15 is fixed to the ceiling part 31 as shown in Fig. 3, the speaker device 1 does not need to include the second sound reflecting member 14. Here, the central axis of the directivity of the sound masking speaker 13 intersects with the first sound reflecting member 12.
[0036] In this case, the sound output from the sound masking speaker 13 is reflected by the second reflecting surface 122 and travels upward. The sound reflected by the second reflecting surface 122 is reflected by the ceiling portion 31 and travels downward. As a result, the masking sound reaches people around the desk 21 who are not participating in the online conference.
[0037] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, instead of having a hanging member 151, the support portion 15 may have a first hanging member 153 that suspends the sound masking speaker 13 from the ceiling portion 31, a plurality of second hanging members 154 that suspend the first sound reflecting member 12 from the sound masking speaker 13, and a plurality of hanging members 155 that suspend the online conference speaker 11 from the first sound reflecting member 12.
[0038] Moreover, the support unit 15 may be fixed to the floor surface or the desk 21 instead of being fixed to the ceiling unit 31. For example, the support unit 15 may have an axis member extending upward from the floor surface or the desk 21, an arm member extending laterally from the axis member above the desk 21, and a hanging member extending downward from the arm member to suspend the online conference speaker 11.
[0039] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of a speaker device in a modified example. As shown in FIG. 4, the speaker device 1 may not include the sound masking speaker 13 and the second sound reflecting member 14. The first sound reflecting member 12 may have a cylindrical surface and a flat upper surface connected to the upper portion of the cylindrical surface. In this case, at least a part of the sound output from the online conference speaker 11 is reflected downward by the upper surface of the first sound reflecting member 12, and is also reflected inward by the cylindrical surface of the first sound reflecting member 12. Therefore, by including the first sound reflecting member 12, the speaker device 1 can suppress leakage of conversation voices in an online conference.
[0040] 4, the speaker device 1 may further include a microphone 16 for inputting a user's voice. The microphone 16 is disposed below the first sound reflecting member 12. The online conference speaker 11 may also function as the microphone.
[0041] 4, the speaker device 1 may further include an illumination section 17 including a light source. The illumination section 17 is disposed, for example, below the first sound reflecting member 12. Specifically, the illumination section 17 is disposed around the online conference speaker 11 in the lateral direction. In this case, the first sound reflecting member 12 may cover the illumination section 17 in a top view and function as a shade for the illumination section 17.
[0042] 4, the speaker device 1 may further include a wireless communication unit 18 that receives an audio output signal of an information processing terminal that conducts an online conference by wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and transmits the signal to the online conference speaker 11. The wireless communication unit 18 is built in, for example, the online conference speaker 11. This eliminates the need to connect the information processing terminal and the online conference speaker 11 with a wire, and the configuration of the speaker device 1 can be simplified.
[0043] Also, the member having the first reflecting surface 121 (first sound reflecting member 12) and the member having the second reflecting surface 122 (first sound reflecting member 12) may be configured as separate members, and they may be arranged vertically with a gap between them. Also, the sound masking speaker 13 and / or the member having the second reflecting surface 122 may be movable in the vertical direction. This allows the distance between the sound masking speaker 13 and the second reflecting surface 122 to be adjusted to a distance that effectively diffuses the masking sound to the surroundings.
[0044] [Embodiment 2] Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For ease of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to components having the same functions as those described in the above embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.
[0045] 5 is a side view showing an overall configuration of a speaker device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The speaker device 1A according to the second embodiment is provided above a desk 21 and supported by a support portion 15A placed on the floor or the desk 21.
[0046] Specifically, the support unit 15A includes a base 151A and a support column 152A extending upward from the base 151A. The support column 152A is provided with, in order from the bottom, an online conference speaker 11, a first sound reflecting member 12, a sound masking speaker 13, and a second sound reflecting member 14. The support column 152A holds the online conference speaker 11, the first sound reflecting member 12, the sound masking speaker 13, and the second sound reflecting member 14 at a predetermined height.
[0047] According to the above configuration, the speaker device 1A in the embodiment 2 has the same effects as the speaker device 1 in the embodiment 1. In addition, compared with the speaker device 1 in the embodiment 1, when an audio output signal is transmitted to the online conference speaker 11 by wired communication, it is easier to arrange wiring connecting the information processing terminal and the online conference speaker 11.
[0048] [Contribution to SDGs] According to one aspect of the present invention, a comfortable meeting environment can be provided. For example, meetings (including web conferences) can be easily held in a shared space such as an open space. Communication such as meetings is the foundation of social activities (economic activities), and according to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to contribute to economic development by contributing to the promotion of diversification of work styles and the smooth promotion of business activities. Such effects also contribute to the achievement of Goal 8 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) advocated by the United Nations, "Decent Work and Economic Growth."
