Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present subject matter is related, in general to an acoustic generating system, and more particularly, but not exclusively to an acoustic generating system and an emulator unit for a vehicle.
BACKGROUNDOF THE INVENTION 5
[0002] The sound emanating from vehicle via a horn or even the revving sound, typically alerts a pedestrian as well as other vehicles in the vicinity of the vehicle. The alert is often a perception based on the received sound. For instance, vehicle approach as well as vehicle overtaking is better perceived by variables of sound emanating from the vehicle which successfully alerts the pedestrian as well as other riders in the vicinity. 10
[0003] A disadvantage associated with some vehicles is that often the rider desires a louder revving sound, which manifests into undesirable noise for the environment. Thereby, there arises a need to ensure that the revving as well as other vehicle sounds should be within a perceptible level which effectively alerts pedestrians and other vehicles, without leading to noise pollution. 15
[0004] Additionally, in electric vehicles or other vehicles employing prime movers where the perceived sound is minimal, pedestrians often fail to sense an oncoming vehicle, leading to collisions and other mishaps on the roads. Thereby, for vehicles having minimal operating sound it is deemed necessary to provide them with additional amplifier units to emanate artificial sound indicative of vehicle operation. 20
[0005] Even from a rider’s point of vehicle, vehicle sound or acoustics are essential for better perception of vehicle operating parameters. For instance, a vehicle may be in idling state, but the rider may be unaware of the vehicle idling since minimal sound is emanated from the vehicle. In this case, if the rider initiates vehicle throttling under the presumption he’s starting 2
the vehicle, the vehicle might shoot its speed leading to a potential mishap to the rider, the vehicle as well as other actors in the vicinity of the vehicle. [0006] In known arts, an amplifier with a pre-set audio tune is connected to the vehicle body, whereby during vehicle running condition the amplifier continuously generates the pre-set audio. A limitation of this known art is that while the pedestrian may effectively perceive the
5 presence of the vehicle, however they may fail to associate a speed or braking with the vehicle. Thus, the disclosed known art fails to effectively address the issues of on-road collisions and other mishaps.
[0007] In another known art, a set audio tune’s playback speed is merely altered as per vehicle speed. The known art fails to assimilate the other elements of acoustics which are essential in 10 replicating vehicle operating sound with the vehicle sounds the human perception is adapted to. Further, in the event of revving of the vehicle, the audio tunee is merely played faster which fails to effectively translate to the requisite amplitude of the vehicle sound the human ear is cultured to.
[0008] Additionally, since the audio file is typically pre-set as per default factory standards, 15 the rider isn’t provided the option of customization so that he can better perceive the vehicle operating characteristics.
[0009] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and 20 with reference to the drawings.

However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the detailed descriptions given herein with respect to the figures are simply for explanatory purposes as the 5 system may extend beyond the described embodiments. For example, the teachings presented, and the needs of a particular application may yield multiple alternative and suitable approaches to implement the functionality of any detail described herein. Therefore, any approach may extend beyond the particular implementation choices in the following embodiments described and shown. 10

Further, repeated use of the 15 phrase “in an embodiment” does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.
[00023] The present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with different embodiments. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather those embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and fully convey the scope of 20
the invention to those skilled in the art. [00024] The present invention is illustrated with an acoustic generating system for a vehicle. However, a person skilled in the art would appreciate that the present invention is not limited to a vehicle and certain features, aspects and advantages of embodiments of the present 6
invention can be used with other applications employing a control unit requiring an acoustic generating system. [00025] The object of the present subject matter is to provide an acoustic based alert system for alerting pedestrians and road users on an incoming vehicle which inherently emanates minimal sound. The object of the invention achieves enhanced road safety.
5
[00026] In electric driven vehicles or hybrid vehicles, a common feat is a silent transmission system which fails to apprise the pedestrian or other road users such as vehicles and stray animals of an incoming vehicle. Thereby, there is a need for an alert system in the vehicle framework to suitably apprise pedestrians and other road users to maintenance of road safety.
[00027] The present invention addresses this exact need of the vehicle network comprising 10 vehicles which inherently emanate minimal sound, by providing an acoustic generating system configured to emanate a customizable artificial sound to enhance perception of vehicle approach as well as vehicle operating conditions.
[00028] It is an additional object of the present invention to improve rider perception of vehicle parameters in vehicles emanating minimal sound. 15
[00029] In conventional internal combustion engine-based vehicles, vehicle revving, vehicle braking, vehicle leaning as well as other vehicle operable characteristics are perceived based on acoustics or sound. In the present developed electric and hybrid vehicle infrastructure, owing to minimal sound below levels of perception being present, the rider suffers a set-back of not being able to accurately comprehend vehicle characteristics and operating parameters. 20 For instance, even when an electric vehicle is in the ON state, no perceivable noise is emanated from the vehicle. In this case, any negligence with the vehicle components may lead to a fatal accident. The present invention intends to address this exact drawback of known arts by provision of the acoustic generating system. 7
8
[00030] It is a further object of the present subject matter is to provide a customizable acoustic generating system where the plurality of audiometric parameters associated with an audio selected for the vehicle is customized based on user preference. In view of maintenance of public order and adherence to safety regulations, while a degree of modularity and customization of the audiometric parameters is accorded to the user, the system ensures that
5 the same be within permissible and perceivable limits.
[00031] Common instances of road nuisance witness the revving of the vehicle beyond decibels the human hear can comfortably perceive leading to noise pollution in the environment. In an embodiment, the present configuration enables an in-built system where the plurality of acoustic parameters of amplitude and playback speed is customizable by the user, however the 10 plurality of acoustic parameters are maintained within the precincts of safe perception of sound.
[00032] Additionally in view of extending a user customizable embodiment of modulating the acoustic generating system, it is an object of the invention to provide a user accessible and comprehensible method of modulation.
[00033] To this end, in an embodiment the present configuration provides a control unit 15 operable in conjunction with an electronic device. The control unit receives user inputs accepting the desired user preferences against the plurality of audiometric parameters.
[00034] A foreseeable object of the present invention upon mass acceptance is the development of a public platform comprising a community of developers uploading and using audio segments adapted to adhere to permissible acoustic parameters for road safety. 20

The audio receptor unit 102 in conjunction with the configuration of reception of one or more audio files, the audio receptor unit 102 may have a storage medium associated with the 10 audio receptor unit 102 for storing the received one or more audio files.
[00039] In an aspect, the control unit 104 is configured to receive one or more audio files from the audio receptor unit 102, following which the control unit 104 segments each audio file of the one or more audio files into plurality of audio segments based on satisfaction of a set of pre-defined conditions. Further, the control unit 104 extracts each of the one or more audio 15 segments and provide the same to an electronic device 106.
[00040] The satisfaction of the set of pre-defined conditions being detection of one or more audio segments in each of the one or more audio files for a cyclic acoustic waveform followed by mapping each of the detected one or more audio segments to determine presence of a pre-defined threshold of a plurality of audiometric parameters. In another aspect, the plurality of 20
audiometric parameters is at least one of frequency, amplitude and wavelength. [00041] In another aspect, the pre-defined threshold of acoustic parameters is at least: the audio segment comprising amplitude above a threshold amplitude, and the audio segment comprising a pre-set range of frequency. 9
[00042] In an aspect, the electronic device 106 is configured to receive a user input, whereby based on the user input

The one or more vehicle components 108 serve as the output of the acoustic generating system 100 through which the artificial audio interfaced 10 with vehicle operation emanates.
[00044] In operation, the one or more audio files are fed to the audio receptor unit 102 of the acoustic generating system 100. The one or more audio files are then transmitted to the control unit 104. The control unit 104 segments each of the audio files into plurality of audio segment upon successful detection of a cyclic acoustic waveform. The afore-mentioned segmenting by 15 the control unit 104 may be based on a time-domain analysis or a fast fourier transform. Further, each of the audio segments must contain a pre-defined threshold of plurality of audiometric parameters. For instance, acceptable audio segments for further processing must contain frequencies falling within the pre-set range of frequency and the amplitude of the acceptable audio segments must be beyond a threshold amplitude. The disclosed configuration ensures 20 that adherence to permissible and perceivable acoustic standards are met for secure implementation in the vehicle. The control unit 104 hereon transmits the acceptable audio segments satisfying the criterium of pre-defined threshold of plurality of audiometric parameters and cyclic acoustic waveform are then transmitted to an electronic device 106. 10

In yet another embodiment, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to execute hard-coded functionality. In still another embodiment, the control unit 104, 202 is embodied as an executor of instructions, where the instructions are specifically
configured to the

The control unit 104, 202 may be configured to include suitable logic, circuitry, interfaces, and/or code that may be configured to store the set of instructions, which are executed by a processor of the control unit 104, 202. In an embodiment, the memory may be 5 configured to store one or more programs, routines, or scripts that may be executed in coordination with the processor.

16
[00059] In an embodiment, the control unit 104 of the acoustic generating system 100 and the control unit 202 of the emulator unit are integrated to form a singular control unit 104, 202 performing the functionalities of the control units 104 and 202 is conjunction.
[00060] In another embodiment, the control unit 104 and 202 are configured to receive updates externally and wirelessly (over the air) pertaining to updating of pre-defined plurality of 5 audiometric parameters based on requisite and updating of method of detection of cyclic acoustic waveform.
[00061] Figure 3 illustrates an audio file comprising of multiple audio segments in accordance with some other embodiments of the present disclosure.
[00062] With reference to Figure 3, 300 denotes an audio file of the one or more audio files 10 and 302 denotes one or more audio segments contained in the audio file.
[00063] As per the present disclosure, the audio file 300 as represented in Figure 3 is indicative of an integrated sound wave submitted to an audio receptor unit (102), where the audio file 300 superimposes multiple individual sound waves. Each sound wave comprises crests and troughs with acoustic parameters such as frequency, amplitude and wavelength. 15
[00064] A caveat for further processing of the received audio file 300 in the acoustic generating system 100 requires segmenting of the audio file 300 into multiple audio segments 302. Each audio segment 302 exhibits a cyclic pattern of repetition of the same frequencies, amplitudes and wavelengths, thereby multiple audio segments 302 can be extracted from the same audio file 300. Thereby, the segmenting of the audio file 300 into one or more audio segments 302 is 20 based on detection of a cyclic acoustic waveform. In an embodiment, a fast fourier transform based configuration assists in extraction of the one or more audio segments 302 from each of the one or more audio files 300. In another embodiment, a pulse code modulation characteristic
17
value by a musical instrument digital interface is employed in extraction of the one or more audio segments 302 from each of the one or more audio files 300. [00065] Figure 4 illustrates a user interface of an electronic device in accordance with some other embodiments of the present disclosure.
[00066] With reference to Figure 4, 400 denotes a preferred embodiment illustrative of a user 5 interface, 402 denotes a first tab, 404 denotes a second tab, 406 denotes a third tab and 408 denotes a fourth tab. Each of the four tabs 402, 404, 406, 408 comprise individual graphic elements.
[00067] In an aspect, the electronic device 106 comprises a display unit in connection with a graphic engine and an input output unit for communication with a user. The input output unit 10 may be a touch screen, a keypad, a joystick, a rotatory knob-based component. The electronic device 106 may be a personal digital assistant such as a cell phone of the user, an instrument cluster disposed on the vehicle or any other user-machine interface communicatively coupled to the components of the acoustic generating system 100 capable of reception of a user input.
[00068] A first tab 402 of the user interface 400 illustrates the one or more audio segments 302 15 extracted from the submitted audio file 300. A user input selecting any one of the one or more audio segments 302, switches the user interface 400 to display the second tab 404.
[00069] The second tab 404 is illustrative of a first vehicle operating parameter of the one or more vehicle operating parameters which is to be interfaced with the plurality of acoustic characteristics of the selected audio segment 302. The limits of the first vehicle operating 20 parameter are illustrated on a scale represented by 404a, where the start value is indicative of a minimum limit and the end value is indicative of a maximum limit of the first vehicle operating parameters. A slider bar 404b and 404c are illustrated in the user interface 400 to indicate the mechanism of modulation of the plurality of audiometric characteristics of the
audio segment 302 ranging from ‘1’ to ‘n’. The slider bar 404b and 404c may be replaced by a scale, pre-set values of each of the plurality of audiometric parameters or any other user operable means permitting the user to modulate the audiometric parameters based on desired perception. [00070] The operability of the second tab 404 shall be illustrated with an example hereon. For
5 instance, the first vehicle operating parameters configurable by the user is a throttling of the vehicle, where the start value represents a minimum degree of throttling and the end value represents the maximum permissible degree of throttling in the vehicle. The plurality of audiometric parameters configurable may be at least an amplitude, playback speed and pitch of the audio segment 302. Thereby, the user may by using the slide bar 404b, 404c indicate at 10 least a desired amplitude, playback speed and pitch of the audio segment mapping with the start value and the end value of the throttling of the vehicle. After provision of the user input, the control unit 104, 202 communicatively coupled to the user interface 400 of the electronic device 106 simulates the selected plurality of audiometric parameters for the start value and the end value. Further, the control unit 104, 202 simulates the plurality of audiometric 15 parameter for various levels of throttling permissible between the start value and the end value. The user once he selects the “yes” icon of the second tab 404, the graphic engine progresses the user interface 400 to the third tab 406.
[00071] The third tab 406 is illustrative of the same actions undertaken by the user in the second tab 404, whereby sliding bar options 406a and 406c permit modulation of the plurality of 20 audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302 for the next vehicle operating parameter. The subsequent vehicle operating parameters include at least a breaking characteristic, a vehicle speed and a vehicle leaning characteristic whereby the start value and end value for each of the vehicle operating parameters are user configurable. 18
19
[00072] After saving the user inputs for the subsequent vehicle operating parameters, the user interface 400 depicts a fourth tab 408, where the final version of the simulated audio for each of the vehicle operating parameters is played. The user upon accepting the final changes by selection of the “yes” icon 408a, the saved user configuration is transmitted to the emulator unit 200.

[00074] The method 500 begins at step 502 and proceeds to step 504. At step 504, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to receive one or more audio files 300. The one or more audio files 300 comprises a plurality of audiometric parameters. In an aspect, the plurality of audiometric 10 parameters comprises at least a frequency, amplitude, wavelength, pitch as well as playback speed. In an aspect, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to receive the one or more audio files 300 via an electronic device 106 comprising an audio recorder. The method 500 then proceeds to step 506.
[00075] At step 506, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to segment the one or more audio 15 files 300 into a plurality of audio segments 302 based on satisfaction of a set of pre-defined conditions. In an aspect, the set of pre-defined conditions for segmenting 506 are associated with a plurality of audiometric parameters.
[00076] In an aspect, the satisfaction of the set of pre-defined conditions comprises detection of the plurality of audio segments 302 in each of the one or more audio files 300 for a cyclic 20 acoustic waveform and mapping each of the detected plurality of audio segments to determine presence of a pre-defined threshold of the plurality of audiometric parameters.
[00077]
In an aspect, the pre-defined threshold of the plurality of audiometric parameters being at least the audio segment 302 comprising amplitude above a threshold amplitude and the audio segment 302 comprising a pre-set range of frequency.
[00078] In an aspect, the pre-defined threshold of the plurality of audiometric parameters being associated with regulatory restrictions applicable based on jurisdiction of vehicle usage. For 5 instance, the pre-defined threshold of the audiometric parameter of frequency may be in a range of 160 Hz to 5000Hz, thereby the detected audio segment 302 in cyclic acoustic waveform must contain the above-mentioned range of frequencies for further processing by the control unit 104, 202.
[00079] After segmenting 506 of the one or more audio files 300, each audio segment extracted 10 is subjected to step 508 of the method 500.
[00080] At step 508, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to compare each audio segment 302 against a plurality of audio tunes stored in a repository. The repository refers to a database comprising copyrightable and trademarked melodies in the representation of an audio tune. The operation conducted by the control unit 104, 202 at step 508 is essential in protecting the 15 already registered trademarks and copyrightable material in the public domain against potential infringement by the user. The control unit 104, upon ensuring that the plurality of audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302 does not map with any of the audio tunes of the repository proceeds to step 510. In the event, the segmented audio segment 302 maps with an audio tune of the repository, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to omit the confounded audio segment 20
302 and extract the next audio segment segmented in step 506 from the audio file. [00081] In an aspect, when the audio segment 302 of the plurality of audio segments 304 being the same as one of the plurality of audio tunes, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to delete the said audio segment 302. In the event, the audio segment 302 be different from all of the 20
21
plurality of audio tunes, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to translate 510 the audio segment 302. [00082] In an aspect, the repository may be an internal or external storage medium connected to the control unit 104, 202 such as a database, a cloud, a server or other electronic mediums of information storage communicable with the control unit 104, 202. The control unit 104, 202
5 may communicate wirelessly or by wired connections with the repository.
[00083] In an aspect, step 508 serves as an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, whereby permitting the method 500 to proceed directly from step 506 of segmenting the one or more audio files into a plurality of audio segments to step 510 comprising translating the plurality of audiometric parameters of each audio segment with reference to one or more 10 vehicle operating parameters. In an aspect, the one or more vehicle operating parameters comprising at least one of a throttle angle, a vehicle speed, vehicle leaning characteristics and a vehicle braking characteristics.
[00084] In an embodiment, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to check each of the plurality of audio segments 302 to not infringe on the plurality of audio tunes provided in the repository, 15 thereby only the audio segments 302 which do not map with the audio tunes of the repository proceed to step 510 for translation.
[00085] At step 510, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to translate the plurality of audiometric parameters of each audio segment 302 proceeding from step 508 with one or more vehicle operating parameters. In an aspect, the translation 510 of the plurality of audiometric 20 parameters of each audio segments 302 comprises mapping a pre-defined set of audiometric parameters of each audio segment 302 with each of the one or more vehicle operating parameters. In an aspect, the pre-defined set of audiometric parameters comprises at least a permissible range of frequency and amplitude. The disclosed configuration of the control unit
104, 202 translating 510 in a pre-defined set of audiometric parameters ensures that vehicle operating parameters such as, but not limited to, vehicle speed, vehicle throttling, vehicle leaning and vehicle braking are best conceived by the pedestrians and vehicles in the vicinity eliminating the element of nuisance otherwise associated with known acoustic generating systems 100.
5 [00086] In an embodiment,
the control unit 104, 202 is configured to transmit each of the audio segments 302 satisfying the set of pre-defined conditions to an electronic device 106 accessible by a user. The electronic device 106 is configured to receive a user input to enable selection of the audio segment 302 for translation 510. In another embodiment, the electronic device 106 may be a personal digital assistant of the user, or an instrument cluster of the vehicle. 10
[00087] In an aspect, the control unit 104, 202 is further configured to during translation to receive a user input indicative of a desired starting value of the plurality of audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302 associated with one or more vehicle operating parameters in the set range. The control unit 104, 202 further receives a user input indicative of a desired ending value of the plurality of audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302 associated 15 with one or more vehicle operating parameters in a set range. The control unit 104, 202 then modifies the plurality of audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302 to emulate the one or more vehicle operating parameters between the starting value and the ending value of the set range.
[00088] For instance, perceivable ranges of sound for human ear range from 40dB to 70dB, the 20 control unit 104, 202 is configured to translate 510 the audiometric parameter such as amplitude to ensure that the sound emanating is within the perceivable ranges for each of the one or more vehicle operating parameters. 22
[00089] Further, the control unit 104, 202, after successful and acceptable translation 510 of the selected audio segment, transmits the translated audio segment to at least one of one or more vehicle components 108 or a storage platform. The one or more vehicle components 108 are configured to emanate the translated audio segment in communication with the one or more vehicle operating parameters.
5
[00090] In another embodiment, the translated audio segment 302 is transmitted to a storage platform comprising other translated audio segments or audio tunes configurable for public as well as private access. The disclosed configuration encourages creation of a community of developers with accessible audio segments applicable for vehicle usage. The method 500 ends at step 512. 10
[00091] Figure 6A and 6B illustrates a flow chart depicting the steps undertaken by the control unit in accordance with some other embodiments of the present disclosure.
[00092] The flow chart 600 begins at step 602 and proceeds to step 604. At step 604, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to detect whether one or more audio files 300 are submitted to it. The control unit 104, 202 comprises an input output unit configured to establish 15 communication with external electronic devices via wired communication as well as wireless communication. The external electronic devices 106 may comprise one or more audio receptor capable of recording audio tunes and storing the same in the form of audio files.
[00093] Upon one or more audio file 300 being successfully received by the control unit 104, 202, the flow chart 600 proceeds to step 606. In the event, no audio file 300 be received by the 20
control unit 104, 202, the flowchart 600 proceeds to step 626 where the flowchart 600 ends. [00094] At step 606, the control unit 104, 202 detects if the received one or more audio files have a cyclic acoustic waveform comprising a rhythmic and repetitive pattern of a plurality of audiometric parameters. Upon successful detection of a cyclic acoustic waveform, the 23
flowchart 600 proceeds to step 608 where the audio segment comprising the cyclic acoustic waveform is extracted. [00095] In an aspect, the entire audio file 300 may comprise multiple audio segments having the cyclic acoustic waveform, the control unit 104, 202 proceeds with extraction of each audio segment 302 for further processing.
5
[00096] In the event, the received audio file 300 fails to have any cyclic acoustic waveform, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to process the next received audio file 300 of the one or more audio files for processing under step 606.
[00097] The extracted plurality of audio segments 302 in step 608 are then compared against pre-defined threshold of plurality of audiometric parameters in step 610. 10
[00098] Step 610 illustratively indicates comparison of plurality of audiometric parameters such as amplitude and frequency. At step 610, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to check that the amplitude (As) of each of the extracted audio segments 302 in step 608 is greater than the pre-defined amplitude threshold (At). The pre-defined amplitude threshold (At) is indicative of a base permissible level of amplitude required in the audio segment 302 for 15 comprehensible perception by pedestrians and other road users. In another aspect, at step 610 the control unit 104, 202 is configured to check that the frequencies Fs contained in the extracted audio segment 302 includes the range of frequencies between a minimum frequency threshold Fmin and a maximum Frequency threshold Fmax. For instance, the pre-defined frequency ranges may be from 160Hz to 5000 Hz, where the extracted audio segment 302 must 20
contain each frequency present in the pre-defined frequency ranges. [00099] In the event, the extracted audio segment 302 satisfies the pre-defined threshold of plurality of audiometric parameters requirement elucidated at step 610, the flowchart 600 proceeds to step 612. In the event, the extracted audio segment 302 fails to satisfy the pre-24
defined threshold of plurality of audiometric parameters, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to process the next audio segment 302 extracted in step 608 under the covenant of step 610, until an acceptable audio segment is detected for further processing at step 612. [000100] At step 612, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to check whether the audio segment 302 does not belong to an album of audio tunes stored in a repository. The plurality
5 of audio tunes in the repository are illustrative of protectable material usage of which without a license may lead to infringement. In view of adherence to public policies of intellectual property rights, the control unit 104, 202 ensures that the plurality of audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302 is not the same as any audio tune of the repository.
[000101] In the event, the audio segment 302 does not map or is not the same as any audio 10 tune in the repository, the control unit 104, 202 undertakes further processing of the audio segment at step 614. In the event, the audio segment 302 is same as the audio tune of the repository, the control unit 104, 202 checks for the next audio segment’s plurality of audiometric parameters. In the event, all the audio segments 302 map with audio tunes of the repository, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to check for audio segments in the next 15 received audio file at step 620.
[000102] At step 614, the audio segment 302 is provided to an electronic device 106 serving as a user-machine interface and capable of receiving user interface via keypad or touch-screen based options. After provision of the audio segment 302 to the electronic device 106, the flowchart 600 proceeds to step 616. 20
[000103] Steps 616a to step 616d are cumulatively referred to as step 616. The step 616a is the first sub-step under step 616 which comprises receiving a user input for a start value and an end value of the plurality of audiometric parameters of the audio segment 302. 25
[000104] For instance, in the event the audiometric parameters with reference to braking characteristics are being selected, the start value is indicative of the minimum braking force applied by the rider and the end value is the maximum braking force being applied by the rider. For the start value, the plurality of audiometric parameters such as, but not limited to, amplitude, frequency and pitch are provided by the user via a user input. Similarly, the end
5 value for the braking characteristics in terms of plurality of audiometric parameters are submitted by the user by way of user input.
[000105] After successful reception of user input, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to modify the plurality of audiometric parameters between the provided start value and end value proportionally at step 616b. The disclosed configuration employs a linear matrix to 10 proportionally emulate the audiometric parameters between the set range proportionally in a rhythmic pattern. Step 616b ensures that the generated acoustic note emanates a rhythmic audio tune where the perceived sound doesn’t emanate intermittently between adjacent values of vehicle operating parameters. More specifically, the audio segment corresponding to throttling requires a linear proportional modification of the audio segment between the start value and 15 end value, to ensure a suitable gradient of audiometric parameters based on degree of throttling.
[000106] At step 616c, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to generate the modified audio segment 302 based on processing and user inputs to simulate the audio based on vehicle operating parameters. The flowchart 600 then proceeds to step 616d. At step 616d, the modified audio segment 302 is transmitted to one or more vehicle components 108 configured to 20
emanate the modified audio segment 302. [000107] At step 618, the control unit 104, 202 is configured to check whether the user configurable changes conducted at step 616 is accepted by the user. In the event the changes to the audio segment 302 are accepted, the flowchart 600 proceeds to step 622. In the event, the 26
user changes are not accepted by the user, the flowchart 600 proceeds to step 620 where the next audio file 300 received by the control unit 104, 202 is considered for processing. [000108] At step 622, the audio note or audio segment 302 modified based on user input is uploaded onto a memory or any other storage platform connected to one or more vehicle components 108. The storage platform stores the audio note for provision to the one or more
5 vehicle components 108 based on the applicable one or more vehicle operating parameters by a control system such as, but not limited to, vehicle control unit, prime mover management system, telematics control unit, or any other control system configured to receive vehicle operating parameters such as vehicle speed, vehicle braking characteristics, leaning characteristics and throttling. 10
[000109] For instance, in the event the vehicle control unit detects a throttling value of 20%, the memory containing the audio note is extracted and the plurality of audiometric parameters corresponding to the 20% throttling value is emanated from the one or more vehicle components. The one or more vehicle components may be speakers or other audio generating units disposed in pre-defined regions of the vehicle. Similarly, the illustration can be extended 15 to other vehicle operating parameters such as vehicle speed, vehicle braking characteristics and vehicle leaning characteristics.
[000110] At step 624, the modified audios segment based on user license acceptance is uploaded on a storage platform accessible either by the public or by private parties to encourage creation of a community of developers. The flowchart 600 ends at step 626. 20
[000111] The present subject matter addresses issues pertinent to collision of on-road users owing to vehicles emanating sounds below perceivable level. The present subject matter provides a user configurable artificial sound generator for a vehicle to effectively alert on-road users of an incoming vehicle. The acoustics of a vehicle plays a significant role in providing 27
28
an accurate perception of incoming vehicle speed and even braking efforts undertaken by the rider. In vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles, the on-road users fail to comprehend the rider’s effort in collision avoidance leading to higher risks of collision on roads. [000112] In known arts, a pre-set audio is provided in the vehicle without any permissible modulations, a drawback of the same is associated with failure in comprehension of rider’s
5 braking efforts and vehicle speed. Thereby known arts fail to alleviate the risks of collision on roads.
[000113] Additionally, provision of a customizable or user configurable artificial sound generator for a vehicle, eliminates the dependency of any user on cost-based audio libraries. A reduction of cost further motivates users to adapt regulatory standards of artificial acoustics 10 generation, since the user can merely use his personal digital assistant to record any audio of his choice.
[000114] In application, the audio file submitted may be a variety of time duration, however the audio segment typically extracted from the audio file containing the cyclic acoustic waveform vary in a range of 0.5 second to 1 second duration. The disclosed 15 enablement thereby eliminates the possibility of the user uploading any unacceptable, derogatory audio onto the acoustic generating system 100 as the control unit 104, 202 configuration of segmenting and translating transmits the audio segment in a modified manner.
[000115] Further, the audio file received by the control unit 104, 202 may contain background noise in conjunction with other acoustic waveforms. since the control unit 104, 20 202 is not configured to differentiate between the background and an intended audio. Thereby, the control unit 104, 202 processes all the acoustic waveforms contained within the audio file to check for cyclic acoustic waveform followed by conditions of pre-defined plurality of acoustic parameters. Advantageously, the user is provided with multiple options capable of
29
mapping with vehicle operating parameters and is not tasked with ensuring focussed audio capturing. [000116] In light of the above-mentioned advantages and the technical advancements provided by the disclosed system, the claimed system as discussed above are not routine, conventional, or well understood in the art, as the claimed system enable the following
5 solutions to the existing problems in conventional technologies. Further, the claimed system clearly brings an improvement in the functioning of the acoustic generating system itself as the claimed system and constructional features provide a technical solution to a technical problem.
[000117] Finally, the language used in the specification has been principally selected for readability and instructional purposes, and it may not have been selected to delineate or 10 circumscribe the inventive subject matter, and is therefore intended that the scope of the invention be limited not by this detailed description, but rather by any claims that issue on an application based here on. Accordingly, the embodiments of the present invention are intended to be illustrative, but not limiting, of the scope of the invention, which is set forth in the following claims. 15

In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the present disclosure without departing from its scope. Therefore,
