Commercial Applications: Title: Personalized Audio Navigation Technology for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be utilized in various commercial applications such as navigation apps, tour guide services, and fitness apps to provide users with personalized audio navigation instructions, enhancing their overall experience and engagement.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience compared to traditional navigation systems? - This technology enhances user experience by providing personalized audio navigation instructions based on the characteristics of the electronic media content, making the navigation process more engaging and tailored to the user's preferences. 2. What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing this technology in real-world applications? - Some potential challenges could include accurately identifying and adjusting audio navigation directions based on the characteristics of electronic media content, as well as ensuring seamless integration with existing mapping applications and services.
Original Abstract Submitted
to provide content-aware audio navigation instructions, a client device executing a mapping application obtains one or more audio navigation directions for traversing from a starting location to a destination location along a route. the client device also identifies electronic media content playing from a source different from the mapping application which is executing at the client device or in proximity to the client device. the client device determines characteristics of the electronic media content and adjusts the audio navigation directions in accordance with the characteristics of the electronic media content. then the client device presents the adjusted audio navigation directions to a user.
