Abstract

A method and system for more accurately estimating and recognizing a user input for an information request using partial recognition results, collected user pattern information, and vehicle information when partial recognitions of the user input is detected are provided. In particular, user input information is analyzed with the vehicle information and user pattern information for more accurate estimation and recognition of the user input thus increasing recognition of the user input and providing the user requested information within the vehicle.

Claims

1. A system for providing information in a vehicle that includes a multimedia recognition system for recognizing multimedia input data, the multimedia recognition system, comprising:

a memory configured to store program instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to;

receive the multimedia input data via a multimedia relay server;

receive vehicle information;

extract recognizable information from the multimedia input data and detect partially recognized result information from the extracted recognizable information;

collect user pattern information including mobile terminal user information, a vehicle terminal use information, and consumption pattern information; and

analyze the partially recognized result information, the vehicle information, and the user pattern information to extract a final recognition result for the multimedia input data and to transmit the extracted final recognition result.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the multimedia input data includes any one of a speech input, a manuscript input, and an image input, and wherein manuscript input information is input via a manuscript input device;

and image input information is input via an imaging device.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to process a recognition result as a final recognition result when the multimedia input data is recognized as a recognized value greater than a reference value, and receive the multimedia input data when the multimedia input data is partially recognized as a recognized value less than a reference value.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to analyze collected vehicle information and collected user pattern information to extract an analyzed result for providing a location-based service (LBS) or an analyzed result for providing a personalized information service and to deliver the analyzed result to a content provider that generates personalized information as customized information for an individual user based on the analyzed result and delivers the personalized information to the vehicle to be output.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the vehicle information contains present location information of the vehicle, and information around the present location of the vehicle and the point of interest (POI) information around the present location of the vehicle is used in extraction of the final recognized result for the multimedia input data.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein mobile terminal user information as the user pattern information contains any one of global positioning system (GPS) location information of a mobile terminal and searched information in the mobile terminal containing a search keyword.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein vehicle terminal use information as the user pattern information includes searched information in a vehicle terminal containing a search keyword.

8. The system of claim 4, wherein consuming pattern information as user pattern information includes credit card transaction information provided from a credit card information provider.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the consuming pattern information further includes credit card discount benefit information provided the credit card information provider.

10. A method for providing information in a vehicle that includes a multimedia recognition system for recognizing multimedia input data, the multimedia recognition method, comprising:

comparing, by a controller, a recognition value with a reference value in response to detecting a speech input;

extracting, by the controller, point of interest (POI) information regarding a present location of the vehicle,

collecting, by the controller, user pattern information and mobile terminal use information;

storing and analyzing, by the controller, the collected information in a database unit;

analyzing, by the controller, partial recognition result information and the collected information to estimate content of the speech input and output recognition result information as a list; and

displaying, by the controller, the speech recognition result.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the mobile terminal user information contains any one of global positioning system (GPS) location information of a mobile terminal and searched information in the mobile terminal containing a search keyword.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the user pattern information includes credit card transaction information provided from a credit card information provider.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing program instructions executed by a controller, the computer readable medium comprising:

program instructions that compare a recognition value with a reference value in response to detecting a speech input;

program instructions that extract point of interest (POI) information regarding a present location of the vehicle,

program instructions that collect user pattern information and mobile terminal use information;

program instructions that store and analyze the collected information in a database unit;

program instructions that analyze partial recognition result information and the collected information to estimate content of the speech input and output recognition result information as a list; and

program instructions that display the speech recognition result.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the mobile terminal user information contains any one of global positioning system (GPS) location information of a mobile terminal and searched information in the mobile terminal containing a search keyword.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein the user pattern information includes credit card transaction information provided from a credit card information provider.
