VIRTUAL ENGINE SOUND SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SYSTEM

摘要

A virtual engine sound system for a vehicle and a method for controlling the system are provided. The method includes detecting data for determining volume of the virtual engine sound and determining whether an output condition of the virtual engine sound is satisfied based on the data. In addition, the method includes determining a sound source to be played back when the output condition of the virtual engine sound is satisfied and determining the volume of the virtual engine sound based on a noise level extraneous to the vehicle. The virtual engine sound that corresponds to the determined volume is then output.

主权项

1. A method for controlling a virtual engine sound for a vehicle, comprising:
detecting, by a data detector, data for determining volume of the virtual engine sound; determining, by a controller, whether an output condition of the virtual engine sound is satisfied based on the data; determining, by the controller, a sound source to be played back when the output condition of the virtual engine sound is satisfied; determining, by the controller, the volume of the virtual engine sound based on a noise level extraneous to the vehicle; and outputting, by the controller, the virtual engine sound that corresponds to the determined volume.
