  • Method and system for generating an alarm signal in a vehicle
    Patent number: 9754488
    Abstract: A method is provided for generating an alarm signal in a vehicle for indicating that the vehicle is in the proximity of an object includes detecting a degree of proximity to the object, calculating a value of the distance (d) between the vehicle and the object, generating the alarm signal at least as an audio signal when the distance (d) is less than a predetermined first threshold value (d1), and generating the alarm signal in the form of a sequence of signal stages as the distance (d) decreases. A system is also provided for generating an alarm signal in a vehicle.

  • System and method for distribution of 3D sound
    Patent number: 9638530
    Abstract: A method and system for distribution of 3D sound in a vehicle comprising two speakers arranged spaced apart in close vicinity of a head of a vehicle operator. The vehicle operator can look in multiple directions, and the system for distribution of 3D sound comprises means to determine at least one of angle and gaze direction of the head of the vehicle operator. Furthermore, the distribution of the 3D sound is based on the determined angle or gaze direction of the head of the vehicle operator.
