<p>A sound pickup apparatus capable of submitting an optimum sound pickup environment to the user in a more easily understandable manner is implemented. A sound output-pickup function apparatus 1 is placed at a predetermined position and connected to a PC 2 by a USB cable 300. When a user 900 operates a sound output-pickup function apparatus 1, to thus launch a sound output-pickup application, the sound output-pickup function apparatus 1 detects a turn amount of each of sub-housings 11, 12 and delivers the detected turn amounts to the PC 2. The PC 2 calculates a positional relationship between the main housing 10 and the sub-housings 11 and 12 from the acquired turn amounts, thereby determining a usage mode exhibiting the same positional relationship. When determined that an equivalent usage mode is available, the PC 2 displays an indicator display including the shape of the sound output-pickup function apparatus 1, the number of persons, person's positions, and a sound pickup range, all conforming to the equivalent usage mode. The user 900 ascertains an optimum number of persons and optimum person's positions by taking a look at the indicator display.</p> |
