Abstract
The sound acquisition apparatus broadcasts a sound 'output notice request' through a communication network. In response to the request by the sound acquisition apparatus, the sound output apparatus gives notification of starting a sound output operation, the sound acquisition apparatus requests the sound output apparatus to transfer 'output sound data'. The sound output apparatus then transfers “output sound data” representing the sound outputted by its own speaker to the sound acquisition apparatus in response to this request. The sound acquisition apparatus then suppresses a noise component from sound data acquired through a microphone using the transferred “output sound data”.
