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 20240107941 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 generates 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 its working status, and outputs a pseudo engine sound based on the working status.

  • Electric working machine with motor, working unit, and control unit
  • Information processing device for the electric working machine
  • Communication unit for machine communication
  • Working status obtaining unit
  • Output unit for generating pseudo engine sound
  • Pseudo engine sound output based on working status

Potential Applications

Problems Solved

1. Lack of auditory feedback in electric working machines 2. Difficulty in monitoring the working status of electric machines

Benefits

1. Improved user experience 2. Enhanced safety through auditory feedback 3. Real-time monitoring of working status

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing electric vehicle user experience with pseudo engine sounds

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to sound generation in electric vehicles or machinery, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the control unit determine the appropriate pseudo engine sound to output based on the working status of the electric working machine?

The patent application does not provide details on the algorithm or criteria used by the control unit to select the pseudo engine sound.

Are there any potential drawbacks or limitations to implementing pseudo engine sounds in electric working machines?

The abstract does not address any potential negative effects or challenges that may arise from the use of pseudo engine sounds in electric working machines.


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.
