Abstract
Enhancement of auditory navigation instructions can include detecting and receiving, at an AI (Artificial Intelligence) enhanced device which includes GPS (Global Positioning System) location data, navigation instructions. The receiving of the navigation instructions can be either from auditory capture by the AI enhanced device of an announcement at a location, or a data update from a monitoring system electronically received by the AI enhanced device. Using the AI enhanced device, one or more keywords can be detected in the navigation instructions. In response to the detecting of the one or more keywords by the AI enhanced device, the AI enhanced device can output an acoustically enhanced version of the navigation instructions to audio headphones of the user.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for enhancement of auditory navigation instructions, comprising:
- detecting and receiving, at an AI (Artificial Intelligence) enhanced device which includes GPS (Global Positioning System) location data, navigation instructions, the receiving of the navigation instructions either from auditory capture by the AI enhanced device of an announcement at a location, or a data update from a monitoring system electronically received by the AI enhanced device;
- detecting, using the AI enhanced device, one or more keywords in the navigation instructions;
- and
- in response to the detecting of the one or more keywords by the AI enhanced device, the AI enhanced device outputting an acoustically enhanced version of the navigation instructions to audio headphones of a user.
A computer system for enhancement of auditory navigation instructions, comprising:
- a processor set, a computer-readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium to cause the processor set to perform operations comprising:
- detecting and receiving, at an AI enhanced device which includes GPS (Global Positioning System) location data, navigation instructions, the receiving of the navigation instructions either from auditory capture by the AI enhanced device of an announcement at a location, or a data update from a monitoring system electronically received by the AI enhanced device;
- detecting, using the AI enhanced device, one or more keywords in the navigation instructions;
- and
- in response to the detecting of the one or more keywords by the AI enhanced device, the AI enhanced device outputting an acoustically enhanced version of the navigation instructions to audio headphones of the user.
A computer program product for enhancement of auditory navigation instructions, comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium;
- and
- program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium to perform operations comprising:
- detecting and receiving, at an AI enhanced device which includes GPS (Global Positioning System) location data, navigation instructions, the receiving of the navigation instructions either from auditory capture by the AI enhanced device of an announcement at a location, or a data update from a monitoring system electronically received by the AI enhanced device;
- detecting, using the AI enhanced device, one or more keywords in the navigation instructions;
- and
- in response to the detecting of the one or more keywords by the AI enhanced device, the AI enhanced device outputting an auditory enhanced version of the navigation instructions to audio headphones of the user.
