Abstract
Audio data is generated for a vehicle audio system using a portable computing device. Vehicle parameter data is received at the portable computing device from a vehicle. Sound parameter data is generated from the vehicle parameter data. Audio data is generated using a synthesizer based on the sound parameter data. The generated audio data is transmitted to the vehicle audio system from the portable computing device.
Claims24
A method of generating audio data using a portable computing device, comprising:
- receiving, at the portable computing device, vehicle parameter data from a vehicle;
- generating, using the portable computing device, sound parameter data from the vehicle parameter data;
- generating, using the portable computing device, the audio data based on the sound parameter data;
- and
- transmitting the audio data from the portable computing device to the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions operable, when executed by a portable computing device, to:
- receive, at the portable computing device, vehicle parameter data from a vehicle;
- generate, using the portable computing device, sound parameter data from the vehicle parameter data;
- generate, using the portable computing device, audio data based on the sound parameter data;
- and
- transmit the audio data from the portable computing device to the vehicle.
A method of outputting audio within a vehicle using a portable computing device, comprising:
- aggregating vehicle-specific parameter data from one or more vehicle sensors of the vehicle;
- pre-processing the vehicle-specific parameter data to generate generic vehicle parameter data;
- transmitting the generic vehicle parameter data to the portable computing device;
- receiving audio data from the portable computing device based on the generic vehicle parameter data;
- and
- outputting the received audio data using an audio playback device disposed within the vehicle.
