DETECTING AND HANDLING DRIVING EVENT SOUNDS DURING A NAVIGATION SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18377211 titled 'DETECTING AND HANDLING DRIVING EVENT SOUNDS DURING A NAVIGATION SESSION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a system that identifies driving event sounds during navigation in a vehicle. The client device in the vehicle provides navigation directions for the route from the starting location to the destination location. During the navigation, the device detects audio that includes a driving event sound within or around the vehicle. If the driving event sound is determined to be artificial, the device notifies the driver or masks the sound to prevent the driver from hearing it.

  • The client device in a vehicle provides navigation directions for a route.
  • It identifies audio containing driving event sounds during navigation.
  • The device determines if the driving event sound is artificial.
  • If the sound is artificial, it presents a notification to the driver or masks the sound.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing driver safety by alerting the driver to artificial driving event sounds.
  • Reducing distractions for the driver by masking artificial driving event sounds.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Preventing drivers from being misled or distracted by artificial driving event sounds.
  • Improving the accuracy of audio alerts during navigation.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased driver awareness of genuine driving event sounds.
  • Minimized distractions for the driver during navigation.


Original Abstract Submitted

To identify driving event sounds during navigation, a client device in a vehicle provides a set of navigation directions for traversing from a starting location to a destination location along a route. During navigation to the destination location, the client device identifies audio that includes a driving event sound from within the vehicle or an area surrounding the vehicle. In response to determining that the audio includes the driving event sound, the client device determines whether the driving event sound is artificial. In response to determining that the driving event sound is artificial, the client device presents a notification to the driver indicating that the driving event sound is artificial or masks the driving event sound to prevent the driver from hearing the driving event sound.
