DETERMINING PLACES AND ROUTES THROUGH NATURAL CONVERSATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919962 titled 'DETERMINING PLACES AND ROUTES THROUGH NATURAL CONVERSATION
The abstract describes a method for determining places and routes through natural conversation using a computing device.
- Receiving a speech input from a user with a search query to start a navigation session.
- Generating a set of navigation search results based on the search query, including destinations or routes.
- Requesting the user to refine the search results through audio prompts.
- Receiving a refined search query from the user in response to the audio request.
- Providing refined navigation search results based on the refined search query.
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems in vehicles - Virtual assistants for travel planning - Location-based services for mobile apps
Problems Solved: - Simplifying the navigation process through natural conversation - Improving user experience in finding destinations and routes
Benefits: - Enhanced user interaction with navigation systems - Streamlined search for places and routes - Increased efficiency in navigation tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Navigation System with Natural Conversation Interface" This technology can be utilized in smart cars, mobile apps, and virtual assistants to provide users with a more intuitive and efficient way to search for and navigate to destinations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the user experience compared to traditional navigation systems? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using speech input for navigation queries?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in natural language processing and speech recognition technologies to enhance the functionality of this navigation method.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computing device may implement a method for determining places and routes through natural conversation. The method may include receiving, from a user, a speech input including a search query to initiate a navigation session; and generating a set of navigation search results responsive to the search query. The set of navigation search results include a plurality of destinations or a plurality of routes corresponding to one or more destinations. The method further includes providing an audio request to the user for refining the set of navigation search results, and in response to the audio request, receiving, from the user, a subsequent speech input including a refined search query. The method further includes providing one or more refined navigation search results responsive to the refined search query including a subset of the plurality of destinations or the plurality of routes.
