Electronic device
View Patent ↗Provided is an electronic device including a modulation unit ( 22 ) that modulates a sound signal to a modulation wave for a parametric speaker; an oscillator ( 12 ) to which the modulation wave is input; an equalizer ( 26 ) that corrects a frequency characteristic of a sound wave that is demodulated by the modulation wave; and a control unit ( 20 ) that selects a carrier frequency of the modulation wave and changes setting of the equalizer ( 26 ) on the basis of the selected carrier frequency. Thus, it is possible to provide the electronic device capable of correcting the frequency characteristic of the sound wave that is demodulated, for each carrier frequency of the modulation wave.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a modulation unit that modulates a sound signal to a modulation wave for a parametric speaker;

a control unit that selects a carrier frequency of the modulation wave and changes setting of the equalizer on the basis of the selected carrier frequency,
an imaging unit that images a user and a region around the user; and
a determination unit that determines the presence or absence of a person in the region imaged by the imaging unit,
wherein the control unit selects the carrier frequency on the basis of the presence or absence of a person in the region.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the equalizer corrects the modulation wave to correct the frequency characteristic of the sound wave that is demodulated by the modulation wave.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the equalizer corrects the sound signal to correct the frequency characteristic of the sound wave that is demodulated by the modulation wave.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a distance calculation unit that calculates a distance between the user and the oscillator,
wherein the control unit selects the carrier frequency on the basis of the distance between the oscillator and the user which is calculated by the distance calculation unit.
