Disambiguation of vehicle speech commands

Abstract

A system and method of recognizing speech in a vehicle. The method includes receiving a voice command at the vehicle via a microphone in the vehicle, and obtaining a recognition result from speech recognition performed on the received voice command. The recognition result may represent the voice command and be indicative of any of two or more available vehicle commands. The method may further include selecting one of the two or more available vehicle commands based on a secondary characteristic and an attribute of the selected one of the vehicle commands. The system may be implemented as vehicle electronics that include a microphone located within the vehicle and configured to receive a voice command from a user located within the vehicle, and a controller in communication with the microphone. The controller may be configured to perform speech recognition on the voice command and obtain a disambiguated recognition result.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
