  • Patent number: 10292001
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for issuing audio alerts within the cabin of a vehicle. The method may include detecting a condition programmatically assigned an audio alert and a virtual source for the audio alert. The method may further include determining, by the computer system based on the virtual source, a gain value for each speaker of a plurality of speakers carried in fix positions onboard the vehicle. Once the gain value for each speaker of the plurality of speak is known, the audio alert may be projected by each speaker of the plurality of speakers according to the gain value determined therefor.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180054690
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for single channel sampling for multiple channel vehicle audio correction. An example disclosed sound system for a vehicle includes a sensing circuit, a channel manager, and a plurality of channel correctors. The example sensing circuit monitors an operational state of only one of a plurality of speakers. The example channel manager generates correction factors based on the operational state and a predicted state of the one of the plurality of speakers. Additionally, the plurality of channel correctors corresponds to the plurality of speakers. The example plurality of channel correctors apply the correction factors to signals driving the plurality of speakers.
