==DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING SOUND FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17889274 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING SOUND FOR VEHICLE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for creating a virtual sound in vehicles equipped with auto cruise control to overcome the lack of sound when the accelerator pedal is not pressed. 

* The method determines if the accelerator pedal is being pressed.
* If the pedal is not pressed, it checks if the auto cruise control system is active.
* If the system is active, it analyzes the driving sound to identify a component related to the vehicle's speed.
* Based on this component, a speed-sensitive virtual sound is generated and reproduced in the vehicle.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various vehicles equipped with auto cruise control systems to enhance the driving experience and provide a sense of speed even when the accelerator pedal is not being pressed.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Lack of sound feedback when the accelerator pedal is not pressed in vehicles with auto cruise control.
2. Inability to perceive the speed of the vehicle when there is no virtual sound.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved driving experience by providing a virtual sound that corresponds to the vehicle's speed.
2. Enhanced safety by allowing drivers to perceive the speed of the vehicle even without pressing the accelerator pedal.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed is a sound design method for overcoming sense of difference when there is no virtual sound while an auto cruise control is activated. The method includes determining whether an accelerator pedal is actuated; upon determining that the accelerator pedal is not actuated, determining whether an auto cruise control system is operating; upon determining whether the auto cruise control system is operating, classifying a vehicle speed-based order component from a driving sound; and reproducing a speed sensitive virtual sound based on the classified vehicle speed-based order component.
