VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232070 titled 'VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle described in the patent application includes a system that can automatically tune into radio stations based on the vehicle's location and the radio frequency signal received. Here are some key points to note about this innovation:
- Display device, communicator, tuner, database, and controller are key components of the system.
- The system generates a list of broadcast stations based on the vehicle's location and received radio signals.
- It compares audio sounds from the vehicle with those from broadcast stations to determine the current station.
- The determined station name is displayed on the vehicle's display device.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in various vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, and even boats to provide a seamless radio listening experience based on the vehicle's location.
Problems Solved
This system eliminates the need for manual tuning of radio stations while driving, ensuring that the driver can focus on the road without distractions.
Benefits
- Convenience of automatic station tuning - Enhanced driving safety by reducing distractions - Improved user experience for passengers
Potential Commercial Applications
- Automotive industry for integration into vehicles
- Electronics manufacturers for aftermarket products
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of GPS technology in vehicles to provide location-based services, but the specific application of automatically tuning into radio stations based on location and radio signals may be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle situations where multiple broadcast stations overlap in the electric field area?
The system may prioritize the station with the strongest signal or use other criteria to determine the current station in such cases.
Can the user manually override the system's automatic tuning and select a specific station?
It is unclear from the abstract whether there is a manual override option for users to select a specific station instead of relying on the automatic tuning feature.
Original Abstract Submitted
The vehicle according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a display device, a communicator configured to receive location information of the vehicle, a tuner configured to receive a radio frequency signal, a database including a plurality of broadcasting information which are categorized by area, and a controller configured to generate a first broadcast station list including a plurality of first broadcasting information corresponding to the location information of the vehicle and the radio frequency signal among the plurality of the broadcasting information included in the database, generate a second broadcast station list including broadcast station names in the first broadcast station list with different frequency information from the first broadcast station list, compare audio sound transmitted from the vehicle with audio sounds transmitted from broadcast stations of the broadcast station names included in the second broadcast station list to determine a current broadcast station name in an electric field overlapping area, and control the display device to display the determined current broadcast station name.
