MANAGEMENT OF AUDIO PERFORMANCE IN A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056751 titled 'MANAGEMENT OF AUDIO PERFORMANCE IN A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for managing audio performance in a vehicle. The system includes an audio unit with speakers and microphones positioned in and/or around the vehicle. The speakers transmit audio signals within the vehicle, while the microphones capture audio signals. A command unit, in communication with the audio unit, has a processor and memory on which instructions are recorded.

  • The audio unit consists of speakers and microphones placed in and/or around the vehicle.
  • The speakers transmit audio signals within the vehicle.
  • The microphones capture audio signals.
  • The command unit is in communication with the audio unit.
  • The command unit has a processor and memory on which instructions are recorded.
  • The command unit receives the audio signal through the microphones.
  • The command unit determines whether the audio signal meets a predefined threshold for audio quality.
  • If the audio quality parameter is below the predefined threshold, the command unit takes remedial action.

Potential Applications:

  • Automotive industry: This technology can be used in vehicles to enhance audio performance and provide a better audio experience for passengers.
  • Entertainment systems: The system can be integrated into entertainment systems in vehicles, such as car audio systems or in-car infotainment systems, to improve audio quality.

Problems Solved:

  • Inadequate audio quality: The system addresses the issue of poor audio quality in vehicles by monitoring and adjusting audio parameters to meet a predefined threshold.
  • Audio disturbances: The system can identify and mitigate audio disturbances or noise within the vehicle, ensuring a clear and uninterrupted audio experience.

Benefits:

  • Improved audio experience: The system ensures that the audio quality meets a predefined threshold, resulting in a better listening experience for passengers.
  • Real-time monitoring: The system continuously monitors the audio quality and takes remedial action if necessary, ensuring optimal audio performance at all times.
  • Customizable audio settings: The system can be programmed to adjust audio parameters based on user preferences, allowing for personalized audio experiences in the vehicle.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for managing audio performance in a vehicle includes an audio unit having one or more speakers and one or more microphones respectively positioned in and/or around the vehicle. the speakers transmit an audio signal within the vehicle. a command unit is in communication with the audio unit. the command unit has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. the command unit is adapted to receive the audio signal through the one or more microphones and determine whether at least one audio quality parameter of the audio signal meets a predefined threshold. the command unit may be adapted to take at least one remedial action when the audio quality parameter is below the predefined threshold.
