Abstract
In a directionality control system, a camera device captures a video of image capture area. A microphone array device collects a sound in image capture area. A signal processing section detects a sound source of the sound in image capture area, which is collected by the microphone array device. In a case where the detected sound source is within a range of privacy area, an output control section controls the sound in image capture area, which is collected by the microphone array device and is output from speaker device.
