  • Tiling Based Approach for Unified Destination Entry
    Publication number: 20250123954
    Abstract: In an infotainment system of a vehicle, a mass storage unit stores map data and context data. The map data comprises geographic information about a geographic area around the vehicle and the context data comprises location-dependent context information about the geographic area for use when engaging in speech interaction with an occupant of the vehicle. The context data includes subsets of context data, each of which is pertinent to a different geographic area. A memory manager copies these subsets of context data into a dynamic memory based on the vehicle's movement.
