Methods and systems for controlling in-vehicle speakers
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle computing system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a processor;
an external device interface communicatively coupleable to a mobile device; and
a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to;
receive an indication of an incoming call directed toward the mobile device;
determine location information for the mobile device;
correlate the mobile device with a selected speaker of the vehicle, the selected speaker being associated with the location information for the mobile device;
adjust, via the in-vehicle computing system, at least one audio setting for the selected speaker by a first amount responsive to receiving the indication of the incoming call; and
adjust, via the in-vehicle computing system, the at least one audio setting for the selected speaker by a second amount responsive to detecting that the incoming call is accepted by a user.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for an in-vehicle computing system for selectively adjusting audio settings for speakers in a vehicle. In some embodiments, an in-vehicle computing system for a vehicle includes a processor, an external device interface communicatively coupleable to a mobile device, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processor to receive an indication of an incoming call directed toward the mobile device. The instructions are further executable to determine location information for the mobile device, correlate the mobile device with a selected speaker of the vehicle, the selected speaker being associated with the location information for the mobile device, and adjust, via the in-vehicle computing system, at least one audio setting for the selected speaker.

12. A method for selectively adjusting audio settings for speakers in a vehicle via an in-vehicle computing system, the method comprising:
-
outputting audio content via one or more speakers in the vehicle; detecting, via communication received at one or more of an antenna and an external device interface of the in-vehicle computing system, a mobile device in the vehicle; determining a location of the mobile device; determining that an incoming communication is directed toward the mobile device; and for more than one speaker in the vehicle, selectively adjusting one or more audio settings of that speaker in the vehicle based on a proximity of that speaker to the location of the mobile device, and a selected speaker in the vehicle being adjusted from an initial setting by a first amount responsive to the determination of the incoming communication and adjusted from the initial setting by a second, different amount responsive to detecting that the incoming communication is accepted at the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
