Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive a verbal instruction identifying a navigation instruction and a contact name. The processor is also configured to retrieve a physical address saved in a vehicle computing system contact entry corresponding to the contact name. Further, the processor is configured to verify the validity of the retrieved address as a navigation destination and set the retrieved address as the navigation destination after the validity has been verified.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive a verbal instruction identifying a navigation instruction and a contact name;
- retrieve a physical address saved in a vehicle computing system contact entry corresponding to the contact name;
- verify validity of the retrieved address as a navigation destination;
- and
- set the retrieved address as the navigation destination after the validity has been verified.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a verbal instruction identifying a navigation instruction and a contact name;
- retrieving a physical address saved in a vehicle computing system contact entry corresponding to the contact name;
- verifying validity of the retrieved address as a navigation destination;
- and
- setting the retrieved address as the navigation destination after the validity has been verified.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a verbal instruction identifying a navigation instruction and a contact name;
- retrieving a physical address saved in a vehicle computing system contact entry corresponding to the contact name;
- verifying validity of the retrieved address as a navigation destination;
- and
- setting the retrieved address as the navigation destination after the validity has been verified.
