Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a system for interactive voice navigation. The system uses a computing device to provide audio instructions to a user for navigation purposes. It also includes an audio sensor to collect audio data from the user, and based on this data, determines if it is related to navigation instructions. If it is, the system generates an appropriate audio response and provides it to the user.
- The system provides audio instructions for navigation purposes.
- It includes an audio sensor to collect audio data from the user.
- The system determines if the audio data is related to navigation instructions.
- If it is, the system generates an appropriate audio response.
- The response is then provided to the user.
Potential Applications
- Navigation systems in vehicles, providing audio instructions to drivers.
- Mobile applications that offer voice-guided navigation to pedestrians.
- Virtual assistants that can provide audio directions to users.
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the process of receiving navigation instructions by providing them through audio.
- Allows users to receive navigation instructions without needing to look at a screen.
- Provides a more interactive and user-friendly navigation experience.
Benefits
- Enhanced safety by reducing the need for users to look at screens while navigating.
- Improved accessibility for individuals with visual impairments.
- More convenient and user-friendly navigation experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure is directed to interactive voice navigation. In particular, a computing system can provide audio information including one or more navigation instructions to a user via a computing system associated with the user. The computing system can activate an audio sensor associated with the computing system. The computing system can collect, using the audio sensor, audio data associated with the user. The computing system can determine, based on the audio data, whether the audio data is associated with one or more navigation instructions. The computing system can, in accordance with a determination that the audio data is associated with one or more navigation instructions, determine a context-appropriate audio response. The computing system can provide the context-appropriate audio response to the user.
