SOUND GENERATION APPARATUS OF ELECTRIFICATION VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17852562 titled 'SOUND GENERATION APPARATUS OF ELECTRIFICATION VEHICLE AND METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sound generation apparatus and method for an electrification vehicle. The apparatus receives driving information, determines the driving situation, and designs and outputs specific sounds based on the driving situation.
- The sound generation apparatus is designed for electrification vehicles.
- It receives driving information to determine the driving situation.
- It can design an acceleration sound when the driving situation is determined as an acceleration situation.
- It can design a cornering sound when the driving situation is determined as a cornering situation.
- The designed sounds are played and outputted by the apparatus.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles: The sound generation apparatus can be used in electric vehicles to enhance the driving experience and provide auditory feedback to the driver.
- Safety: By generating specific sounds during acceleration or cornering, the apparatus can alert pedestrians and other road users to the presence and movement of the electric vehicle.
Problems Solved
- Lack of auditory feedback: Electric vehicles are often quiet, which can be a safety concern for pedestrians who rely on sound cues to detect approaching vehicles. The sound generation apparatus addresses this issue by designing and outputting specific sounds during different driving situations.
- Enhancing driving experience: The apparatus adds an auditory element to the driving experience, making it more engaging and enjoyable for the driver.
Benefits
- Safety: The generated sounds can help pedestrians and other road users detect the presence and movement of electric vehicles, reducing the risk of accidents.
- Customization: The apparatus can design and output different sounds based on the driving situation, allowing for a personalized and unique driving experience.
- Improved driving experience: The addition of specific sounds during acceleration or cornering can enhance the overall driving experience for the driver.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sound generation apparatus for an electrification vehicle and a method of use thereof are provided. In example embodiments, the sound generation apparatus receives driving information, determines a driving situation based on the driving information, designs an acceleration sound when the driving situation is determined as an acceleration situation, or designs a cornering sound when the driving situation is determined as a cornering situation, and plays and outputs the acceleration sound or the cornering sound.
