GEOSPECIFIC INFORMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle. A location of the vehicle is determined; and the geographically-proximate entity is identified based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.
1 . A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising:
receiving an utterance for a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle;
determining a location of the vehicle; and
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.
2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:
determining a direction of interest of an occupant of the vehicle concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the direction of interest.
4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:
obtaining imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 4 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
requesting additional information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from an occupant of the vehicle.
7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
obtaining information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from a datasource.
8 . A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving an utterance for a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle;
determining a location of the vehicle; and
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.
9 . The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising:
determining a direction of interest of an occupant of the vehicle concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
10 . The computer program product of claim 9 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the direction of interest.
11 . The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising:
obtaining imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
12 . The computer program product of claim 11 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
13 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
requesting additional information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from an occupant of the vehicle.
14 . The computer program product of claim 8 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
obtaining information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from a datasource.
15 . A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving an utterance for a request for information, concerning a geographically-proximate entity, on a consumer electronic device included within a vehicle;
determining a location of the vehicle; and
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle.
16 . The computing system of claim 15 further comprising:
determining a direction of interest of an occupant of the vehicle concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
17 . The computing system of claim 16 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the direction of interest.
18 . The computing system of claim 15 further comprising:
obtaining imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
19 . The computing system of claim 18 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle and the imagery concerning the geographically-proximate entity.
20 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
requesting additional information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from an occupant of the vehicle.
21 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein identifying the geographically-proximate entity based, at least in part, upon the location of the vehicle includes:
obtaining information concerning the geographically-proximate entity from a datasource.
