Abstract
An own vehicle includes a wireless communication section, an application control section, and a speaker array. The application control section makes a voice call by wireless communication and the speaker array includes a plurality of speakers to output voice based on a voice signal in the voice call. The position information of the other calling party in the voice call is received by the wireless communication section and the relative speed as the moving speed of the other calling party with respect to the vehicle is calculated on the basis of the received position information. On the basis of the calculated relative speed, sound image localization processing is performed so that the sound image of the voice based on the voice signal to be output by the speaker array is in the direction in which the other calling party is positioned after the elapse of a prescribed time.
