Imaging apparatus and control method thereof

摘要

Disclosed herein are an imaging apparatus and a control method thereof. The apparatus enables a user to simultaneously conduct a video call while watching a broadcasting program. When transmitting an acoustic signal to an opposite user, the apparatus cancels the speech of the opposite user and the background sound from the broadcasting program, and thus, superior communication quality may be maintained.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus for conducting a video call and providing broadcasting simultaneously, the imaging apparatus comprising:
a broadcasting signal receiver which receives a broadcasting signal which includes a first image signal and a first acoustic signal; a transceiver which transceives a second image signal and a first speech signal via a network; an acoustic output unit which outputs the received first acoustic signal and the transceived first speech signal; a user input unit which receives a second acoustic signal which includes a second speech signal which is generated by a user; and a background sound canceller which comprises a first acoustic echo canceller and a second acoustic echo canceller, the first acoustic echo canceller being configured to generate a first output signal by cancelling the received first acoustic signal from the received second acoustic signal, and the second acoustic echo canceller being configured to generate a second output signal by cancelling the transceived first speech signal from the first output signal.
