Dynamic Combustion Engine Sound Broadcasting Device And Method Of Use - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208407 titled 'Dynamic Combustion Engine Sound Broadcasting Device And Method Of Use
The patent application describes a device that can make an electric motor vehicle sound like an internal combustion engine vehicle by broadcasting dynamic combustion engine sounds.
- The device includes an electronics module (EM) with sensors and a digital to analog converter (DAC) connected to a computer.
- Sensors measure performance parameters of the electric motor vehicle and generate output signals.
- The computer pairs each output signal with a corresponding sound from a reference internal combustion engine vehicle at a specific performance level.
- The computer generates a composite digital signal based on the paired sounds stored as digital audio signals.
- The DAC converts the composite digital signal to an analog signal for broadcasting through a speaker.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing the driving experience of electric vehicle owners who miss the sound of traditional combustion engines. - Providing a customizable solution for electric vehicle manufacturers to simulate engine sounds based on performance parameters.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the lack of engine noise in electric vehicles, which some drivers find disconcerting. - Offering a solution to make electric vehicles sound more familiar and appealing to traditional car enthusiasts.
Benefits: - Allows electric vehicle owners to customize the sound of their vehicles. - Enhances safety by providing pedestrians and other road users with an audible indication of an approaching electric vehicle.
Commercial Applications: "Dynamic Combustion Engine Sound Broadcasting Device for Electric Motor Vehicles" could be marketed to electric vehicle manufacturers looking to enhance the auditory experience of their vehicles and attract customers who prefer the sound of traditional engines.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device determine which sound to play based on the performance parameters of the electric motor vehicle? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of electric vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
a dynamic combustion engine sound broadcasting device for making an electric motor vehicle (emv) sound like an internal combustion engine vehicle (icev) includes an electronics module (em), which is mountable to the emv. the em comprises a set of sensors and a digital to analog converter (dac), which are operationally engaged to a computer. each sensor is operationally engageable to a respective operating element of the emv to measure a performance parameter and to generate an output signal. an algorithm on the computer pairs each output signal with an associated sound, corresponding to a sound produced by a respective mechanical element of a reference icev at a respective performance level, and generates a composite digital signal. the sounds are retained on the computer as digital audio signals in a plurality of data sets. the dac converts the composite digital signal to an analog signal for broadcast by a speaker.
