Abstract
A system and a method are provided for navigating an arrangement of transportation, for example, a vehicle, an aircraft, a motor vehicle, or a ship, from at least one location to at least one destination, which minimize the demand on memory capacity required for voice recognition and conversion, the voice data entry being compared with subsets, for example, with sequential segments or with successive subsets of the navigation database elements stored in the memory unit.
Claims23
A system for navigating an arrangement for transportation from at least one location to at least one destination, the system comprising:
- at least one input device for entering at least one of the following:
- a) a command,
- b) the at least one location, and
- c) the at least one destination;
- and
- at least one voice data entry module assigned to the input device, the voice data entry module operable to recognize at least one voice data entry and convert the voice data entry into at least one corresponding system entry, the voice data entry module including:
- a) at least one memory unit for storing elements of at least one navigation database,
- b) a comparator for assigning at least one of the elements of the navigation database to the voice data entry in accordance with a comparison of the voice data entry with subsets, and
- c) a routing arrangement for routing the assigned element to the system as at least one of a command, a location, and a destination.
A method for navigating an arrangement for transportation from at least one location to at least one destination, the method comprising the steps of:
- entering, using at least one input device, at least one of the following:
- a) a command,
- b) the at least one location, and
- c) the at least one destination;
- performing a voice recognition via at least one voice data entry module in the input device, wherein at least one voice data entry is converted to at least one corresponding system input;
- making elements of at least one navigation database available in at least one memory unit;
- assigning at least one of the elements of the navigation database to the voice data entry in accordance with a comparison of the voice data entry with subsets, the comparison being performed by a comparator;
- and
- routing the assigned element to the system as at least one of a command, a location, and a destination.
