Method and system for adjusting a gear map
First Claim
1. A continuously variable transmission system comprising:
- an input device for receiving user generated gear adjustment mode data;
a memory for storing the user generated gear adjustment mode data corresponding to a gear map including a plurality of virtual gears; and
a processor connected to the memory, the processor configured to adjust the gear map based on the user generated gear adjustment mode data and control a continuously variable transmission based on the adjusted gear map.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and system for adjusting a gear map. The present invention can be an automobile including a continuously variable transmission system, an ignition detecting ignition data, and/or a display unit. The continuously variable transmission system can include a continuously variable transmission, a memory storing a gear map including virtual gears, a gear adjustment mode input unit detecting gear adjustment mode data, and/or a processor. The processor can control the continuously variable transmission to operate at a desired engine speed for a specific automobile speed using the gear map. The processor can adjust the gear map using the gear adjustment mode data, and/or the ignition data. The processor can control the display unit to display information to prompt the user to supply the gear adjustment mode data.
