DETERMINING PLACES AND ROUTES THROUGH NATURAL CONVERSATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240210194 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.
- Providing an audio request to the user to refine the search results.
- 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 applications
Problems Solved: - Simplifying the process of searching for destinations and routes - Enhancing user experience with natural language interaction

Commercial Applications: Title: "Natural Conversation Navigation System for Enhanced User Experience" This technology could be utilized in smart cars, mobile apps, and virtual assistants to provide seamless navigation services, improving user satisfaction and loyalty in various industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method enhance user interaction with navigation systems? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns related to using speech input for navigation queries?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in natural language processing and speech recognition technologies to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the navigation system.
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.
