Method and system for adaptive navigation using a driver's route knowledge

A system to adapt instructions for performing a task by a user, comprising:

• a user model to represent user-specific knowledge regarding the task;
• a content planner to receive generalized instructions for the task and to select a content of the generalized instructions based on the user-specific knowledge;
• an utterance planner to construct utterances for the selected content;
• and
• an utterance realizer to convey the utterances to the user.

A storage medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor arrangement, comprising:

• computer program code for performing the following:
• receiving generalized instructions for a task;
• selecting a content of the generalized instructions based on user-specific knowledge regarding the task;
• constructing utterances using the selected content;
• and
• conveying the utterances to the user.

A method of adapting instructions for performing a task by a user, comprising:

• receiving generalized instructions for the task;
• selecting a subset of the received instructions from the received instructions based on user-specific knowledge regarding the task;
• constructing utterances using the selected subset of instructions;
• and
• conveying the utterances to the user.

A method for adapting route navigation instructions, which instruct how to follow a route, comprising:

• receiving the route navigation instructions;
• selecting an instructions subset from the route navigation instructions based on a user model of knowledge of a user about the route, the model generated based on a history of navigation associated with the user;
• and
• outputting information regarding navigation of the route based on the selected subset of instructions.
