Application: Controlling audio output in a vehicle (Patent ID: US20240134593A1)
The patent filed by BlackBerry Ltd. describes systems, methods, and software for controlling audio output in a vehicle. The method involves determining the current driving mode of the vehicle, establishing audio output levels based on the driving mode and preconfigured audio zone profiles, and controlling the vehicle's audio equipment accordingly. The system utilizes a signal structure defined by Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) to set and send values for the audio output levels, which can include volume, fade, or balance adjustments. The driving modes can range from nap mode to highway mode, and the audio equipment may consist of front and rear speakers.
The patent also covers a vehicle equipped with audio equipment, a hardware processor, and a computer-readable storage medium storing programming instructions for executing the method described. The vehicle determines the driving mode, establishes audio output levels based on the mode and audio zone profiles, and controls the audio equipment accordingly. The use of VSS for setting and sending audio output values is emphasized, with the signal structure based on the VSS of Connected Vehicle Systems Alliance (COVESA). The audio output levels can include volume, fade, or balance adjustments, and the audio equipment may include front and rear speakers. Additionally, a computer-readable medium storing instructions for performing the method is outlined, emphasizing the determination of driving mode, establishment of audio output levels, and control of audio equipment based on the driving mode and preconfigured audio zone profiles.
