METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION PLAYBACK BETWEEN A HANDS-FREE SYSTEM IN A MOTOR VEHICLE AND A USER, AND A HANDS-FREE SYSTEM

Communication playback between a hands-free system in a motor vehicle and a user is controlled by a control device electronically coupled to the hands-free system or at least one sound signal emitted from this at least one loudspeaker is at least partially modified. Parameters for determining a vehicle usage context are detected by a first detecting device electronically coupled to the hands-free system. Depending on the parameters of the vehicle usage context, a person in a vicinity of the motor vehicle is detected by a second detecting device electronically coupled to the hands-free system. A position of the person relative to the motor vehicle is detected, and depending on the detected position, a volume and/or a quality of speech intelligibility of the sound signal emitted from the loudspeaker is changed and directed at least partially to the position of the person by the control device.
