Embodiment Construction

[0041] In general, the present invention relates to a technique for initiating a horn operating mode in a vehicle in response to a signal representative of specified horn operating regulations.

[0042] The signal may be generated by using a positioning system such as a satellite positioning system (eg GPS) and digital maps, and / or using a traffic signal recognition device.

[0043] The horn operating mode may be one in which, when a signal indicates that honking is prohibited or that the sound level is not allowed above a certain level, a "horn prohibition or restriction" mode is activated wherein the horn is disabled, or the sound level of the horn is restricted. restricted below a certain level, or to generate a warning to let the driver know of a prohibited or restricted condition; and when the signal indicates that the horn must be performed, a "must-honk" mode is activated, in which the horn is automatically activated to produce a sound, or to generate a warning To infor...

Abstract

An automatic vehicle horn control system includes a control unit (1), a horn (3) and a horn-operating-regulation acquisition means. An automatic vehicle horn control method includes the following steps: information about horn operating regulation related with current or concerned location and driving direction of the vehicle is acquired, and then a honking forbidden or restriction mode is initiated in which the horn (3) is deactivated or the sound of the horn (3) is controlled to be lower than a certain level, or a honking must mode is initiated in which the horn (3) is operated automatically to produce sound.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for automatically operating a motor vehicle horn or warning a driver based on specified horn operating regulations. Background technique [0002] It is now known that although the horn is essential to the vehicle, it also has the problem of generating noise. Therefore, in some areas, such as in city centers, near hospitals, schools, zoos, etc., honking (operating a horn to produce sound) is prohibited by law or regulation. [0003] On the other hand, in some other areas, the driver is required to operate the horn to generate sound to attract the attention of people or animals to the vehicle. [0004] In general, traffic signals are provided in various regions to remind drivers not to operate the horn or to remind the driver that the horn must be activated to generate sound. Additionally or alternatively, regional governments may issue permanent or temporary regulations for horn operation. [0005]...
