Abstract
A vehicle and a control method are for generating a virtual driving sound. The control method for the vehicle may include: receiving a radio signal including a sound source through an antenna of the vehicle; extracting the sound source from the received radio signal; generating a virtual driving sound representing a driving state of the vehicle based on the extracted sound source; and outputting the virtual driving sound to an interior or an exterior of the vehicle.
Claims19
A control method for a vehicle, the control method comprising:
- receiving a radio signal including a sound source through an antenna of the vehicle;
- determining whether a strength of the received radio signal is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value;
- extracting the sound source from the received radio signal based on the signal strength being equal to or greater than the preset threshold value;
- generating a virtual driving sound representing a driving state of the vehicle based on the extracted sound source;
- and
- outputting the virtual driving sound to an interior or an exterior of the vehicle,
- wherein when the strength of the received radio signal is less than the preset threshold value, the sound source is deleted without generating the virtual driving sound.

A vehicle, comprising:
- a broadcast/communication part configured to receive a radio signal including a sound source;
- an acoustic design processor configured to determine whether a strength of the received radio signal is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value, extract the sound source from the radio signal based on the signal strength being equal to or greater than the preset threshold value, and generate a virtual driving sound representing a driving state of the vehicle based on the extracted sound source, wherein when the strength of the received radio signal is less than the preset threshold value, the sound source is deleted without generating the virtual driving sound;
- and
- a speaker configured to output the virtual driving sound to an interior or an exterior of the vehicle.

A control method for a vehicle, the control method comprising:
- receiving a radio signal including a sound source through an antenna of the vehicle;
- extracting the sound source from the received radio signal;
- generating a virtual driving sound representing a driving state of the vehicle based on the extracted sound source;
- outputting the virtual driving sound to an interior or an exterior of the vehicle;
- receiving, by the vehicle, a first sound source from a first radio signal transmitted in a first zone;
- generating and outputting a first virtual driving sound based on the first sound source;
- in response to the vehicle exiting the first zone and entering a second zone, receiving, by the vehicle, a second sound source from a second radio signal transmitted in the second zone;
- and
- generating and outputting a second virtual driving sound based on the second sound source,
- wherein the first radio signal is transmitted by a first sound source provider of the first zone and is valid only in the first zone, and
- wherein the second radio signal is transmitted by a second sound source provider of the second zone and is valid only in the second zone.
