US Patent 11153509 Distribution assistance apparatus and distribution assistance method

A distribution assistance apparatus and a distribution assistance method are provided. An input and output IF mixes a sound input from an HS microphone or a built-in microphone with a sound signal of distribution data received from a portable terminal and outputs the sound. Even when an addition process or an effect is applied to distribution data in the portable terminal, a sound input from the HS microphone or the built-in microphone can be output through a monitor at that point in time without causing a latency.
