MULTIPLE INPUT AND PASSENGER ENGAGEMENT CONFIGURATION TO INFLUENCE DYNAMIC GENERATED AUDIO APPLICATION

摘要

Apparatus, system and method for generating and reproducing audio, were vehicle data, representing a vehicle characteristic, is produced and transmitted to a portable processing device communicatively coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle data is processed to determine a vehicle state and an audio generation application is invoked based on the determined vehicle state. The portable processing device receives user inputs representing physical inputs/manipulation, wherein audio is generated based on the user inputs. The portable processing device may be communicatively coupled to other portable devices, wherein user inputs from the other portable devices generate and/or modify audio.

主权项

1. An apparatus for generating audio, comprising:
a first input configured to receive vehicle data comprising information relating to a vehicle characteristic, wherein the vehicle characteristic comprises at least one of (i) a vehicle parameter indicating an operational state of a vehicle component, and (ii) a physical location of the vehicle; a storage, operatively coupled to the input, for storing the vehicle data and a plurality of audio generation applications, wherein each of the plurality of audio generation applications are associated with a respective vehicle state; processing means, operatively coupled to the storage, wherein the processing means is configured to process the vehicle data over a predetermined period of time to determine a vehicle state and invoke at least one of the plurality of audio generation application that is associated with the determined vehicle state; and a second input, configured to receive user input data comprising physical inputs from a user, wherein the processing means is further configured to generate audio in the apparatus based on the user input data.
