Systems and methods for off-board voice-automated vehicle navigation
First Claim
1. A system for providing navigational information to a vehicle driver, comprising:
- an on-board system disposed on a vehicle and processing and transmitting via a wireless link spoken requests from a vehicle driver requesting navigational information to a desired destination; and
a data center processing the spoken requests received via the wireless link, wherein the data center;
performs automated voice recognition processing on the spoken requests to attempt recognition of destination components of the spoken requests;
generates and stores a list of possible destination components corresponding to the spoken requests and confidence scores calculated for each possible destination component;
confirms an accuracy of the possible destination components via fully automated interactive voice exchanges between the vehicle driver and the data center when the confidence scores calculated for all of the possible destination components are above a selected threshold;
determines a destination from confirmed destination components;
generates navigational information to the determined destination; and
transmits the navigational information to the on-board system via the wireless link.

Abstract
A system for providing navigational information to a vehicle driver. An on-board system is disposed on a vehicle and processes and transmits to a data center, via a wireless link, spoken requests from a vehicle driver requesting navigational information. The data center performs automated voice recognition on the received spoken requests to attempt recognition of destination components of the spoken requests, generates a list of possible destination components corresponding to the spoken requests, assigns a confidence score for each of the possible destination components on the list, determines if a possible destination component with a highest confidence score has a confidence score above a selected threshold, and computer-generates a representation of the possible destination components for transmission to the on-board system via the wireless link for confirmation by the vehicle driver if the highest confidence score of every possible destination component is above the selected threshold.
