This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18592261 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 via a computing system associated with the user. The system can activate an audio sensor, collect audio data from the user, determine if the data contains navigation instructions, and provide context-appropriate audio responses to the user.
- The computing system offers audio information and navigation instructions to users.
- An audio sensor is activated to collect audio data from the user.
- The system analyzes the audio data to identify navigation instructions.
- Context-appropriate audio responses are generated based on the audio data.
- The responses are provided to the user for interactive voice navigation.
Potential Applications: - Navigation systems for vehicles or pedestrians - Virtual assistants for guiding users in indoor or outdoor environments - Interactive audio tours for museums or historical sites
Problems Solved: - Enhances user experience by providing interactive voice navigation - Improves accessibility for individuals with visual impairments - Streamlines communication of navigation instructions in real-time
Benefits: - Hands-free navigation for users - Personalized and context-aware audio guidance - Increased safety and convenience in navigation tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing User Experience with Interactive Voice Navigation Systems" This technology can be utilized in: - Automotive navigation systems - Mobile applications for navigation - Tour guide services for tourists
Questions about Interactive Voice Navigation: 1. How does interactive voice navigation improve user experience compared to traditional navigation methods?
- Interactive voice navigation offers hands-free guidance, personalized responses, and real-time updates, enhancing user convenience and safety.
2. What are the potential challenges in implementing interactive voice navigation systems in different environments?
- Challenges may include background noise interference, accuracy of voice recognition, and privacy concerns.
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.
