Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an in-vehicle privacy system, comprising audio output means ( 146, 147 ) associated with a first zone ( 110 ) of an interior of a vehicle ( 100 ), audio source means ( 250 ) for providing an audio signal ( 205 ) to the audio output means ( 146, 147 ), speech intelligibility means ( 310 ) for estimating a speech intelligibility in the first zone ( 110 ), control means arranged to control one or more properties of the audio signal ( 205 ) in dependence on the estimate of speech intelligibility to mask speech of a second occupant in a second zone ( 150 ) of the interior of the vehicle ( 100 ) from a first occupant with the first zone.

Claim (Index 14):
A controller for an in-vehicle privacy system, the controller comprising:\n an electrical input for receiving a speech intelligibility signal indicative of a speech intelligibility in a first zone of an interior of a vehicle; a processor arranged to control one or more properties of an audio signal in dependence on the speech intelligibility signal; and an electrical output for outputting the audio signal in the first zone to mask speech of a second occupant in a second zone of the interior of the vehicle from a first occupant in the first zone; wherein the processor is arranged to receive data indicative of one or more parameters of the vehicle and to control the one or more properties of the audio signal in dependence thereon.
