7. The audio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
specify at least two types of surrounding sound, one is talking sounds and the other is sounds of life, and
when the specified type of surrounding sound is sounds of life and the volume control function is turned on, control the volume of the speaker to be increased as one of the output pattern based on the setting information.
8. The audio terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
specify at least two types of surrounding sound, one is talking sounds and the other is sounds of life, and
when the specified type of surrounding sound is talking sounds and the volume control function is turned on, control output of the audio content by the speaker based on the setting information.
9. The audio terminal according to claim 8 , wherein, when the specified type of surrounding sound is talking sounds and the volume control function is turned on, the controller is configured to control the volume of the speaker to be decreased based on the setting information.
10. A method for controlling an audio terminal comprising a wireless communication interface configured to acquire an audio content, a speaker configured to output the audio content, and a microphone configured to capture a surrounding sound of an audio output terminal, the method comprising:
controlling the speaker based on setting information including first information relating to output pattern of the audio content and second information relating to whether volume control function of the speaker is turned on or off, the output pattern at least including a first pattern of which the audio content is not outputted and a second pattern of which the audio content is outputted from the speaker;
extracting and analyzing a surrounding sound captured via the microphone; and
specifying a type of the surrounding sound,
wherein the controlling the speaker further includes controlling a volume of the speaker based on the setting information and the specified type of the surrounding sound of the audio output terminal.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the specifying the type of the surrounding sound includes specifying at least two types of surrounding sound, one is talking sounds and the other is life sounds.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the controlling of the volume of the speaker includes, when the specified type of surrounding sound is sounds of life and the volume control function is turned on, controlling the volume of the speaker to be increased based on one of the first pattern and the second pattern in the output pattern.
13. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising, when the specified type of surrounding sound is talking sounds and the volume control function is turned on, controlling output of the audio content by the speaker based on the setting information.
