Abstract(in English) This paper describes a new small-scale interface for a barge-in free spoken dialogue system combining a multi-channel sound field control and a microphone array, in which the response sound from the system can be canceled out at the microphone points. The conventional method inhibits the user from moving because the system forces the user to stay in the fixed position where the response sound is reproduced. However, since the proposed method doesn't arrange the control points for the reproduction of the response sound to the user, the user's move is allowed. Furthermore, relaxation of the strict reproduction for the response sound enables us to design a stable system with fewer loudspeakers than the conventional method. The experimental results reveal that the propsed method enables us the stable control with small number of loudspeakers, with which the conventional method cannot work.
