Sound volume adjusting apparatus
A sound volume adjuster includes: a storage which stores a first value of a volume setting value and an allowable maximum change amount; a communication interface which receives a change request indicating a second value of the volume setting value; a comparison device which, when a change amount of the volume setting value between the first value and the second value exceeds the allowable maximum change amount, determines that the change request is an excessive request; and a volume controller which, when the comparison device determines that the change request is the excessive request: changes the first value stored in the storage by a change amount which is equal to or smaller than the allowable maximum change amount to set a third value of the volume setting value; and adjusts a sound volume by the third value.
1. A sound volume adjuster comprising:
a storage which stores a first value of a volume setting value and an allowable maximum change amount;
a communication interface operatively configured to receive a change request indicating a second value of the volume setting value;
a comparison device operatively configured to, when a change amount of the volume setting value between the first value and the second value exceeds the allowable maximum change amount, determine that the change request is an excessive request; and
a volume controller operatively configured to, when the comparison device determines that the change request is the excessive request:
change the first value stored in the storage by a change amount which is equal to or smaller than the allowable maximum change amount to set a third value of the volume setting value; and
adjust a sound volume by the third value, wherein
the communication interface receives the change request indicating the second value from an external apparatus in which the second value is set, and
when the comparison device determines that the change request is the excessive request, the comparison device transmits the third value stored in the storage to the external apparatus.
2. The sound volume adjuster according to claim 1 , wherein
when the external apparatus receives the third value from the comparison device, the third value is set in the external apparatus.
