Method for natural dialog interface to car devices
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for providing a natural dialog interface for a device installed on an automobile, comprising:
- a speech recognizer, the speech recognizer recognizing input speech provided by a user;
a speech understanding module connected to the speech recognizer, the speech understanding module determining semantic components of the input speech_using a set of grammars;
a mapping module updating the set of grammars using at least one context module, the context module providing information about the devices;
a dialog manager connected to the speech understanding module, the dialog manager doing at least one of determining a condition of insufficient semantic information existing within the input speech based upon the determined semantic components and for providing information to the user about the device in response to the input speech.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method and apparatus for processing a spoken request from a user to control an automobile device. A speech recognizer recognizes a user'"'"'s speech input and a speech understanding module determines semantic components of the speech input. A dialogue manager determines insufficiency in the input speech, and also provides the user with information about a device in response to the input speech.

10. An apparatus for providing a natural dialog interface for an automobile navigation system, comprising:
-
a speech recognizer, the speech recognizer recognizing input speech provided by a user;
a speech understanding module connected to the speech recognizer, the speech understanding module determining semantic components of the input speech_using a set of grammars;
a mapping module updating the set of grammars using at least one context module, the context module providing information about the devices;
a dialog manager connected to the speech understanding module, the dialog manager doing at least one of determining a condition of insufficient semantic information for controlling the navigation system existing within the input speech based upon the determined semantic components and for providing information to the user about the navigation system in response to the input speech. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
