Patent number: 9618352Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling a navigator are disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a natural voice command acquisition unit, an information acquisition unit, a speech language understanding unit, a related information extraction unit, and a dialog management control unit. The natural voice command acquisition unit obtains a natural voice command from a user. The information acquisition unit obtains vehicle data including information about the operation of the navigator and information about the state of the vehicle. The speech language understanding unit converts the natural voice command into a user intention that can be understood by a computer. The related information extraction unit extracts related information that corresponds to the user intention. The dialog management control unit generates a response to the natural voice command based on the related information, the user intention and a dialog history, and controls the navigator in accordance with the conversation response.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Oh-Woog Kwon, Young-Kil Kim, Chang-Hyun Kim, Seung-Hoon Na, Yoon-Hyung Roh, Young-Ae Seo, Ki-Young Lee, Sang-Keun Jung, Sung-Kwon Choi, Yun Jin, Eun-Jin Park, Jong-Hun Shin, Jinxia Huang
