    Bicycle with sound feedback and working method
    The present invention relates to a bicycle with sound feedback. The present invention further relates to a method for providing at least one feedback by means of a bicycle according to one or more of the preceding claims.
    A bicycle has been developed from a purely mechanical device to a device with electromechanical and electronic components. In recent years, the bicycle has been provided with, for example, a built-in mobile communication technology for being able to follow a bicycle through this mobile communication technology. Furthermore, the bicycle with electric motor starts to rise and is provided with a display for showing the speed. The present inventor has noted that there are limitations to the simple feedback by means of displaying the speed in this way.
    In order to provide new possibilities, the present invention provides a bicycle with feedback, the bicycle comprising:
    - a tube assembly comprising a frame with mutually fixed tube elements and movable tube elements, such as a stem and a handlebar,
    - at least a subsystem of the bicycle for providing a respective function to the bicycle,
    - a control unit for functional interaction with the at least one subsystem of the bicycle, the control unit comprising:
    receiving means for receiving the at least one status signal from the at least one subsystem
    processing means, such as comprising processing unit, for processing the at least one status signal, and
    P58 6
    - output means for outputting at least one output signal, the bicycle further comprising:
    - a sound system, comprising a loudspeaker for outputting sound,
    - a power supply, such as a battery, for supplying power to the control unit and preferably to the at least one subsystem, more preferably the sound subsystem, wherein:
    - the sound subsystem is adapted to output sound as a sound feedback based on the at least one status signal from the at least one subsystem.
    Such a bicycle according to the present invention therefore provides audible feedback based on signals from other bicycle subsystems. This makes it possible for the user to receive information regarding such subsystems. Persons other than the user can also perceive such information. This makes it possible, for example, to give audible warnings to the user, but also, for example, to theft of a bicycle, or at least to the person attempting to do so.
    According to a first preferred embodiment, the loudspeaker is arranged in the tube assembly. Such an arrangement in the tube assembly provides a high degree of robustness to the speaker. A further advantage of this is that perceiving the sound has an aspect of experience as if the sound came from the bicycle. This creates an experience of a link between the bicycle and the sound.
    Preferably, the sound subsystem comprises an amplifier. This allows the volume to be adjusted between
    P58 6 a volume suitable for a feedback to a person on the bicycle or a person next to the bicycle, or suitable for a feedback that a feedback, such as an alarm, is effected over a distance of meters, tens of meters or hundreds of meters, at least perceptible for human hearing or for a microphone designed for that purpose.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, one of the control unit, the at least one subsystem and the sound subsystem is arranged in a cassette, the cassette preferably being arranged in the tube assembly. Hereby it is advantageously realized that a whole of control unit and a number of subsystems and the sound subsystem can be arranged as a whole in a tubular element of the bicycle. This is advantageous for aspects of assembly and repair. The durability of the whole of elements arranged in the cassette is hereby also increased by the increased reliability of the mutual arrangement of the elements. In case such a cassette is arranged in a tube element of the bicycle, such an arrangement contributes positively to the durability of the cassette and its contents during the life of the bicycle because it is protected by it.
    For the purpose of generating a signal, such as a ringing signal or a tone signal, by a user of the bicycle, the bicycle, furthermore, preferably comprises a subsystem wherein one of the at least one subsystem comprises a call button or button which is preferably arranged in or on the handlebar. As a result, the sound system according to the present invention has been applied on an advantageous basis as a replacement for a traditional mechanical bell
    P58 6 arranged on the handlebar. A bell on the bicycle is a vulnerable part. Due to the vulnerability of a bell on the handlebars, this past the other locations have been mounted on the bicycle. The sound-producing function of the sound system advantageously provides a very robust solution to the long-standing problem of bubble vulnerability, certainly in the case of a tube or other robust housing of the bicycle.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, one of the at least one subsystem is a sensor with regard to the status of a lock blocking the operation of the bicycle, such as a mechanical lock, or a contact lock for the control unit and / or an electric drive motor for the bicycle, more preferably wherein the lock and / or the ignition lock are arranged in the tube assembly. By means of such measures according to these preferred embodiments, an application of the sound feedback as an alarm is realized. For example, it is possible to give a sound alarm if the lock provides a status, such as a lock status, that the lock is locked and manipulated on the bicycle.
    Preferably, one of the at least one subsystem is a dynamo, such as a front-wheel dynamo, such as a hub dynamo. Such a dynamo provides the feature that when the wheel is rotated, in this case the front wheel, but the rear wheel is likewise provided, a signal is emitted. A rotating dynamo naturally provides power. Combining the signals that the lock is locked and still rotates a wheel leads to an indication that an alarm should be given.

    P58 is a preferred embodiment in which one of the at least one subsystem comprises a G-force sensor or a motion sensor, preferably arranged in the tube assembly, more preferably in a cassette according to the present invention. If the lock indicates the status that it is locked, and the teacher sensor or the motion sensor indicates that the bicycle is moving, this gives rise to an indication of an alarm. It is anticipated that an alarm trigger will occur in the case of both rotation of the dynamo and movement of the motion sensor and the status of the lock that it is locked.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, one of the at least one subsystem comprises a front light and / or a rear light, wherein preferably the front light and / or the rear light is arranged in respective ends of a top tube as part of the tube assembly. Such a preferred embodiment provides the advantage that, in addition to alarm, sound can be given on the basis of the other subsystems of the bicycle by means of this lighting. The idea here is that if a stranger moves on with a bicycle with a loud alarm and flashing lights, preferably also with a rear wheel specified from the bottom, this will create a sense of urgency for other people. The mere urgency of such a full urgency will cause the stranger to refrain from the theft or, in the event of noticing these ways of drawing attention, cause the stranger to abort the acts of the stolen.
    According to a further preferred embodiment, one of the at least one subsystem comprises a sender receiver for a short-range network, such as Bluetooth, preferably arranged in the tube assembly, with further
