This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318971 titled 'Interactive Voice Navigation
The present disclosure pertains to interactive voice navigation, where a computing system provides audio information, including navigation instructions, to a user through a computing system associated with the user. The system activates an audio sensor to collect audio data from the user, determines if the data contains navigation instructions, and provides a context-appropriate audio response to the user.
- Computing system provides audio information and navigation instructions to the user.
- Activates an audio sensor to collect audio data from the user.
- Determines if the audio data contains navigation instructions.
- Provides a context-appropriate audio response based on the collected data.
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems in vehicles - Virtual assistants for hands-free navigation - Accessibility features for visually impaired individuals
Problems Solved: - Hands-free navigation for users - Improved accessibility for individuals with visual impairments
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Increased safety while navigating - Improved accessibility for all users
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Interactive Voice Navigation System for Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in automotive navigation systems, virtual assistants, and accessibility devices for visually impaired individuals. The market implications include improved user experience, increased safety, and expanded accessibility features.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing voice-controlled navigation systems, audio sensors in computing devices, and accessibility features for individuals with disabilities.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on improving audio recognition technology, enhancing context-aware responses, and expanding the applications of interactive voice navigation systems may be relevant to this technology.
