Patent ID: 7636663

Claim:
An on-vehicle acoustic control system comprising: on-vehicle devices including at least one of on-vehicle ECUs and on-vehicle systems that output a command representative of a request to output sound data and the sound data to a sound management ECU; means for outputting a sound; means for analyzing a command, when the command is inputted from the on-vehicle devices, to determine priority of the sound data, and when the sound data is inputted from the on-vehicle devices, outputs a sound corresponding to the inputted sound data in an order of the priority of the sound data; and an Al agent that selectively executes a user mode and a vehicle mode, wherein the user mode detects a user's physical condition, and the vehicle mode outputs from the outputting means a sound corresponding to the sound data outputted to the analyzing means from the on-vehicle devices, wherein, when executing the vehicle mode, the Al agent acoustically controls at least one of volume, timing and speed of generation of sound for a sound corresponding to the sound data outputted to the analyzing means from the on-vehicle devices based on the user's physical condition detected in the user mode thereby outputting the controlled sound from the outputting means; wherein the Al agent increases the volume of the sound and slows down the speed of generation of the sound when the physical condition of the user is determined to be poor.
