An acoustic device includes: at least one processor, and at least one memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to operate to: acquire data on a mixed sound of a reproduction sound of a first sound data output from a first speaker and a reproduction sound of a second sound data output from a second speaker, the mixed sound being picked up by a sound pickup device directed toward the first speaker, calculate a first similarity degree indicating similarity between the data on the mixed sound and the first sound data and a second similarity degree indicating similarity between the data on the mixed sound and the second sound data, and determine connection states of the first speaker and the second speaker based on the first similarity degree and the second similarity degree.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor that performs a separate process to separate a content signal into a primary component which is an objective sound and a secondary component which is other than the objective sound, a speaker that outputs the primary component, and a transmitter that transmits the secondary component to another apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method and audio system

A memory portion stores automated reproducing setting data that associates content input sources with necessariness/unnecessariness of automated reproduction of content. A control portion, when an operation-display portion or a remote control reception portion accepts selection of a content input source, judges whether or not automated reproduction is necessary on content that is inputted from the currently selected input source, based on the automated reproducing setting data. Also, the control portion starts outputting, at an audio signal output portion and a video signal output portion, a reproducing signal on the content that is inputted from the currently selected input source, when judging that automated reproduction of the content is necessary.
