Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle driving sounds are unable to reflect personal preferences and user feedback, remaining constant across different vehicle models and lacking adaptability.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus comprising a first conversion device, a second conversion device, a storage, and a playback device that processes user-selected sound information, applies conversion parameters, and incorporates user feedback to generate personalized driving sounds.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing vehicle driving sound is used, then the sound is consistently generated across all vehicle models, but it cannot reflect personal preference of the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonal preference adaptabilityVSAvoidsound generation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The sound information is segmented into multiple intervals, and the system selectively processes specific intervals based on user preference and feedback. This segmentation allows the system to customize sound output without requiring complete redesign of the entire sound generation system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sound generation system transitions from a static, fixed sound output to a dynamic system that adapts based on user preference information and feedback. The system can adjust which intervals are selected and how they are converted, making the sound generation process flexible and adaptable to individual users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If artificial driving sound generation is used to reflect user preference, then personalization is achieved, but user feedback cannot be incorporated without additional correction mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser feedback adaptabilityVSAvoidfeedback processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates user feedback about the generated third sound information and uses this feedback to correct and improve future sound generation. The feedback loop allows continuous refinement of the personalized sound based on actual user experience and preference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system stores corrected third sound information for future use, performing preliminary correction work that will benefit subsequent sound generation processes. This preliminary action reduces the need for repeated corrections and improves efficiency over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple conversion devices and processing steps are added to reflect user preference, then personalization capability improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesound customization capabilityVSAvoidconversion system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The conversion devices are designed to perform multiple functions: converting sound information between different formats, selecting specific intervals based on user preference, and incorporating feedback for correction. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated devices for each processing step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
