Method and system for context based navigation system interaction

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor to carry out steps comprising:

• at a navigation system disposed in a vehicle, receiving a command from an occupant of the vehicle, wherein the command includes an occupant-defined nomenclature associated with a destination;
• using an artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) system associated with the navigation system, interpreting the command using occupant-individualized contextual information obtained from a mobile device of the occupant or an external database in communication with the AI/ML system to generate an executable command, wherein the executable command includes a location address associated with the destination, and wherein the occupant-individualized contextual information is obtained from at least one of the mobile device physically separated from each of the navigation system and the AI/ML system or the external database physically separated from each of the navigation system and the AI/ML system;
• at the navigation system, receiving the executable command, generating a corresponding output, and providing the output to the occupant;
• and
• at an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed in the vehicle, receiving the executable command and operating the vehicle in accordance with the executable command.

A system, comprising:

• a navigation system disposed in a vehicle operable for receiving a command from an occupant of the vehicle, wherein the command includes an occupant-defined nomenclature associated with a destination;
• an artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) system associated with the navigation system and comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor operable for interpreting the command using occupant-individualized contextual information obtained from a mobile device of the occupant or an external database in communication with the AI/ML system to generate an executable command, wherein the executable command includes a location address associated with the destination, and wherein the occupant-individualized contextual information is obtained from at least one of the mobile device physically separated from each of the navigation system and the AI/ML system or the external database physically separated from each of the navigation system and the AI/ML system;
• the navigation system operable for receiving the executable command, generating a corresponding output, and providing the output to the occupant;
• and
• an electronic control unit (ECU) disposed in the vehicle operable for receiving the executable command and operating the vehicle in accordance with the executable command.
