| 20120059579 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING A DESTINATION FROM VOICE DATA ORIGINATING OVER A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A navigation system for an automotive vehicle capable of communicating with a remote communication device includes a host communication device connected to the remote communication device over a communication network to transmit voice data. A hands free communication unit having a speaker and a microphone is configured to connect with the host communication device so as to communicate with the remote communication device through the speaker and microphone. The vehicle navigation system also includes a voice recognition engine in communication with the hands free communication unit through a voice data link. A route generation unit is connected to the hands free communication unit and the voice recognition engine. The hands free communication unit is capable of transmitting the voice data originating from the remote communication device to the voice recognition engine over the voice data link. The voice recognition engine processes the voice data to extract a destination which is transferred to the route generation unit to determine a navigation route. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120303267 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING SPEECH RECOGNITION ACCURACY BY USE OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - A method for speech recognition includes providing a source of geographical information within a vehicle. The geographical information pertains to a current location of the vehicle, a planned travel route of the vehicle, a map displayed within the vehicle, and/or a gesture marked by a user on a map. Words spoken within the vehicle are recognized by use of a speech recognition module. The recognizing is dependent upon the geographical information. | 11-29-2012 |
| 20140067258 | NAVIGATION APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM - A navigation apparatus, method or program extracts only a guide expression a talker such as a fellow passenger says to a driver, and outputs a presentation content which corresponds to the guide expression. Accordingly, the driver can understand the content intuitively. This makes it possible to prevent the misunderstanding of the driver and to prevent a vehicle from going in the direction the talker does not intend. | 03-06-2014 |
| 20140156181 | NAVIGATION DEVICE, NAVIGATION METHOD, AND NAVIGATION PROGRAM - Because a navigation device or method according to the present invention extracts only route guidance expressions which a speaking person, such as a fellow passenger, provides for the driver, interprets the abstract route guidance expressions to determine a concrete route guidance expression, and outputs information to be presented corresponding to the concrete route guidance expression, the navigation device enables the driver to understand the content intuitively and can prevent the driver from mishearing the speaking person's utterance and from driving the vehicle toward a direction which the speaking person does not intend. | 06-05-2014 |
| 20140207370 | GPS Navigation code system - A GPS Navigation Code System comprising either a smart cell phone or a personal data assistant (PDA) having GPS features and easy address retrieval means, thereby enabling a driver to retrieve and request directions to an address. The user pre-programs the system with a plurality of addressees or points of interest and assigns unique navigation codes for each. While driving, the user presses a special address search mode key and inputs the unique navigation code by keyboard or speech pattern, views displayed address and accepts the same. When an unknown navigation code is entered, the GPS accesses a remote database through the Internet to recover the associated company name and business GPS coordinates. The remote database computes travel distance based on vehicle and business GPS coordinates, creating an ordered list that is presented to the GPS user, together with directions by map and speech on a turn-by-turn basis. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20150081209 | DETERMINE EXERCISE ROUTES BASED ON DEVICE DETERMINED INFORMATION - A device includes at least one computer readable storage medium bearing instructions executable by a processor and at least one processor configured for accessing the computer readable storage medium to execute the instructions. The instructions configure the processor for accessing terrain information representing preferred terrain of a user of the device, accessing map information, accessing location information indicating current location of the user, and receiving user input indicating a desire for route information. Based at least in part on time constraints indicated from calendar information, the instructions configure the processor for accessing the location information, terrain information, and map information to determine a route and audibly and/or visually displaying the route on the device. | 03-19-2015 |
