TLDR
In this paper, a conversational, natural language voice user interface may provide an integrated voice navigation services environment, where the user can speak conversationally, using natural language, to issue queries, commands, or other requests relating to the navigation services provided in the environment.Abstract:
A conversational, natural language voice user interface may provide an integrated voice navigation services environment. The voice user interface may enable a user to make natural language requests relating to various navigation services, and further, may interact with the user in a cooperative, conversational dialogue to resolve the requests. Through dynamic awareness of context, available sources of information, domain knowledge, user behavior and preferences, and external systems and devices, among other things, the voice user interface may provide an integrated environment in which the user can speak conversationally, using natural language, to issue queries, commands, or other requests relating to the navigation services provided in the environment.read more
