Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING AUDIO DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003000522
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A vehicle audio system includes a wireless audio sensor (28) configured to wirelessly detect different portable audio sources brought into the vehicle. Audio output devices (20) are located in the vehicle for outputting audio signals from the different audio sources. A processor selectively connects the different audio sources to the different audio output devices (20). In another aspect, the audio system includes object sensors (16, 18, 22) that detect objets located outside the vehicle. The processor generates warning signals that are output from the different audio output devices (20) according to where the objects are detected by the object sensors (16, 18, 22).
