ELECTRIC WORKING MACHINE, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956177 titled 'ELECTRIC WORKING MACHINE, INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electric working machine that includes a motor, a working unit driven by the motor, and a control unit that outputs a pseudo engine sound from an output unit. Additionally, an information processing device is provided for the electric working machine, which communicates with the machine, obtains the working status, and outputs a pseudo engine sound based on the obtained status.
- Electric working machine with motor and working unit
- Control unit outputs pseudo engine sound
- Information processing device communicates with machine
- Obtains working status and outputs pseudo engine sound
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in various electric working machines such as lawn mowers, construction equipment, and power tools to provide a more realistic and engaging user experience.
Problems Solved
1. Lack of auditory feedback in electric working machines 2. Limited user engagement due to silent operation
Benefits
1. Enhanced user experience 2. Improved safety through auditory feedback 3. Increased user engagement and satisfaction
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhancing the user experience in electric working machines can lead to increased sales and customer loyalty. This technology could be marketed to manufacturers of electric tools and equipment looking to differentiate their products in the market.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to adding artificial sounds to electric vehicles or machinery to simulate traditional engine sounds for user feedback and safety purposes.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control unit determine the specific pseudo engine sound to output based on the working status obtained from the electric working machine?
The patent application does not provide details on the specific algorithms or criteria used by the control unit to determine the appropriate pseudo engine sound to output in response to the working status of the machine.
What is the impact of the pseudo engine sound on the overall energy efficiency of the electric working machine?
The patent application does not address how the generation and output of the pseudo engine sound may affect the energy consumption or efficiency of the electric working machine.
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an electric working machine including a motor, a working unit configured to be driven by the motor to perform work, and a control unit configured to cause a pseudo engine sound to be output from an output unit. There is also provided an information processing device used for an electric working machine configured to be driven by a motor to perform work. The information processing device includes a communication unit configured to communicate with the electric working machine, a working status obtaining unit configured to obtain a working status of the electric working machine via the communication unit, and a control unit configured to cause a pseudo engine sound to be output from an output unit according to the obtained working status of the electric working machine.
