Directivity control system, directivity control device, abnormal sound detection system provided with either thereof and directivity control method
By registering a set range and a sound type which are not subject to detection of an abnormal sound in advance, a PC performs an alert notification in a case of detecting a sound which is regarded as an abnormal sound, and does not perform an alert notification in a case of detecting a sound which is not regarded as an abnormal sound. That is, in a target area such as a hotel lobby, a sound output from a television provided therein, a water sound emitted by a fountain, and the like are no longer erroneously detected as an abnormal sound. Further, the PC forms the directivity of sound data in a direction toward an actual position corresponding to a designated position on an image of a sound pickup area displayed on a display.

6. The abnormal sound detection system of claim 1 ,
wherein the processor sets a size of a formation range of the directivity for the sound to be constant even if the display range is switched.

wherein the abnormal sound detection area is an area having a predetermined shape.
9. The abnormal sound detection system of claim 8 ,
wherein the area having a predetermined shape is an area drawn by a predetermined input operation.
10. The abnormal sound detection system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an additional imaging device and
an additional display that displays an image of the abnormal sound detection area, which is imaged by the additional imaging device and a subject of the alert notification, when a predetermined instruction operation for the alert notification is performed.
11. The abnormal sound detection system of claim 1 , wherein the processor further performs operations including:
