Facilitating conversations with automated location mapping

A system for automatically facilitating a conversation among a first individual and a second individual, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations, comprising:
• automatically monitoring the conversation to detect a topic in the conversation, wherein the topic is detected by:
• identifying a domain of the conversation;
• identifying one or more entities referenced in the conversation;
• and
• identifying an action associated with the conversation;
• determining, based at least in part, on the domain, the one or more entities and the action, a geographic location referenced in the conversation;
• upon detecting a reference to the geographic location:
• generating a route from a determined location of the first device to the geographical location;
• and
• automatically displaying, on the first display, a map including the generated route to the geographical location;
• determining, based at least in part, on one or more of the domain, the one or more entities and the action, whether the first individual has requested additional information about the geographic location;
• and
• upon detecting that the first individual has requested additional information:
• automatically performing a search for the additional information;
• and
• automatically removing the map and the generated route from the first display and displaying the additional information on the first display.

A computer-readable memory device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device having a display, causes the computing device to automatically facilitate a conversation among at least two individuals by:

• monitoring the conversation to automatically detect a topic referenced by a first individual, wherein the topic is detected by:
• identifying, using a natural language parser, a domain of the conversation;
• identifying, using the natural language parser, one or more entities referenced in the conversation;
• and
• identifying, using the natural language parser, an action associated with the conversation;
• determining, based at least in part, on the domain, the one or more entities and the action, a geographic location referenced in the conversation;
• upon detecting a reference to the geographic location:
• generating a route from a determined location of the first device to the geographical location;
• and
• automatically displaying, on the first display, a map including the generated route to the geographical location;
• determining, based at least in part, on one or more of the domain, the one or more entities and the action, whether the first individual has requested additional information about the geographic location;
• and
• upon detecting that the first individual has requested additional information:
• automatically performing a search for the additional information;
• and
• automatically removing the map and the generated route from the first display and displaying the additional information on the first display.
