SOUND CONTROL DEVICE OF VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17878565 titled 'SOUND CONTROL DEVICE OF VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a sound control device and method for controlling sound in a vehicle. The method involves obtaining an error signal indicating residual noise in the vehicle and an audio signal. It then calculates the magnitudes of low frequency components of the error signal and adjusts the magnitudes of low frequency components of the audio signal based on the error signal. The adjusted audio signal is then outputted through a speaker.
- The invention is a sound control device and method for vehicles.
- It calculates the magnitudes of low frequency components of an error signal indicating residual noise in the vehicle.
- It adjusts the magnitudes of low frequency components of an audio signal based on the error signal.
- The adjusted audio signal is outputted through a speaker.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and trains, to improve sound quality and reduce residual noise.
Problems Solved
1. Residual noise in vehicles can be distracting and affect the overall sound quality. 2. Adjusting audio signals manually may not effectively reduce the impact of residual noise.
Benefits
1. Improved sound quality in vehicles by reducing residual noise. 2. Enhanced listening experience for passengers. 3. Automatic adjustment of audio signals based on residual noise levels. 4. Increased comfort and reduced distractions for drivers and passengers.
Original Abstract Submitted
A sound control device and a method for controlling the sound control device in a vehicle. The method comprises obtaining an error signal indicating residual noise in the vehicle, and an audio signal; calculating magnitudes of low frequency components of the error signal; adjusting magnitudes of low frequency components of the audio signal according to the magnitudes of the low frequency components of the error signal; and outputting the adjusted audio signal through a speaker.
