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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034344 titled 'DETECTING AND HANDLING DRIVING EVENT SOUNDS DURING A NAVIGATION SESSION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a client device in a vehicle that can identify driving event sounds during navigation. The device provides navigation directions for a route from a starting location to a destination location. During navigation, the device detects audio that includes a driving event sound from within or around the vehicle. If the driving event sound is determined to be artificial, the device presents a notification to the driver indicating its artificial nature or masks the sound to prevent the driver from hearing it.

  • The client device in a vehicle identifies driving event sounds during navigation.
  • It provides navigation directions for a route from a starting location to a destination location.
  • The device detects audio that includes a driving event sound from within or around the vehicle.
  • It determines whether the driving event sound is artificial.
  • If the driving event sound is artificial, the device presents a notification to the driver or masks the sound to prevent the driver from hearing it.

Potential Applications:

  • Enhancing driver safety by alerting the driver to artificial driving event sounds.
  • Preventing distractions caused by artificial driving event sounds during navigation.

Problems Solved:

  • Identifying and distinguishing between natural and artificial driving event sounds.
  • Minimizing driver distraction from non-essential sounds during navigation.

Benefits:

  • Improved driver focus and attention on the road.
  • Reduced risk of accidents caused by distractions from artificial driving event sounds.


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.
