Abstract

An information distribution system comprising one or more transceivers in communication with a computing system, the one or more transceivers are also in communication with at least one server. The at least one server configured to receive a communication message. The at least one server further configured to identify an element, in a communication text portion, corresponding to a predefined category based on an element classification model. The at least one server further configured to identify additional information associated with the predefined category and provide the identified information to an application on the computing system. The application on the computing system is pre-specified for utilization of information associated with the predefined category.

Claims

1. An information distribution system comprising:

a transceiver in communication with a computing system;

at least one server in communication with the a transceiver, the at least one server is configured to;

receive a communication message;

identify an element, in a communication text portion, corresponding to a predefined category based on an element classification model;

identify additional information associated with the predefined category; and

provide the identified information to an application on the computing system pre-specified for utilization of information associated with the predefined category.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the element is a word common identified as navigation data.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the element classification model identifies navigation information based on the navigation data.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the predefined category is a navigation category based on the navigation information.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the element is a word having a predefined association with the navigation category.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the additional information is a complete street address based on the association with the predefined category useable by a navigation application to generate a route.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein the additional information is a point of interest name.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the point of interest name is a business name.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the pre-specified application is a navigation application.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the server is further configured to:

receive a subscriber identification with the communication message; and

provide the identified information to the computing system based on the subscriber identification.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the subscriber identification is a cellular telephone number.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the subscriber is determined by an Account Manager Service database.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing system is a smartphone device.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the smartphone may communicate the identified information to a vehicle computing system.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the communication between the smartphone and the vehicle computing system is by Bluetooth.

16. A method of parsing information from an electronic message for transmittal to a computer system application, the method comprising:

receiving a communication message;

identifying an element, in a communication text portion, corresponding to a predefined category based on an element classification model;

identifying additional information associated with the predefined category; and

providing the identified information to an application on the computing system pre-specified for utilization of information associated with the predefined category.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

receiving a subscriber identification with the communication message; and

providing the identified information to the computing system based on the subscriber identification.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the subscriber identification is a cellular telephone number.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the identifying of the element is done by machine learning.

20. A vehicle computing system comprising:

at least one controller in communication with one or more transceivers;

the one or more transceivers in communication with a nomadic wireless device;

the at least one controller configured to;

receive identified information from the nomadic wireless device based on a subscriber identification;

select an pre-specified application based on the identified information;

execute the pre-specified application;

process the identified information at the pre-specified application; and

output the processed identified information.
