Abstract

Claims (45)

1. A method comprising:

conducting over a network, by one or more processors of a vehicle, a communication session including a conversation between a user of the vehicle and one or more remote users;

monitoring the communication session in real-time and determining, by the one or more processors via natural language processing techniques, a destination location mentioned during the conversation of the communication session and a corresponding context of the destination location;

identifying, by the one or more processors, a tab maintained by a navigation system of the vehicle from among a plurality of tabs by comparing the corresponding context of the destination location to the plurality of tabs, wherein each tab stores at least one destination location;

storing, by the one or more processors, the destination location in the tab of the navigation system corresponding to the corresponding context of the destination location; and

generating and displaying on the navigation system, by the one or more processors, a route for the vehicle to the destination location of the tab in response to an indication triggering a navigation action for the destination location.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication session includes an online meeting and the destination location is determined based on one or more of audio, chat messages, and postings to a collaboration space associated with the online meeting.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication session includes a telephone call and the destination location is determined based on audio of the telephone call.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding context of the destination location is determined based on communications from the communication session.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an intent of a user of the vehicle to travel to the destination location based on communications from the communication session, wherein the indication triggering the navigation action includes the intent of the user of the vehicle to travel to the destination location.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein storing the destination location includes:

storing the destination location in the tab of the navigation system via an application programming interface.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the destination location mentioned during the conversation of the communication session includes:

detecting the destination location mentioned during the conversation of the communication session by one or more machine learning models.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

presenting the tab on a user interface with the destination location visually modified.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the indication for triggering the navigation action includes user selection of the destination location from the tab presented on the user interface.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a system comprising one or more processors of a vehicle, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

conduct, over a network, a communication session including a conversation between a user of the vehicle and one or more remote users;

monitor the communication session in real-time and determine, via natural language processing techniques, a destination location mentioned during the conversation of the communication session and a corresponding context of the destination location;

identify a tab maintained by a navigation system of the vehicle from among a plurality of tabs by comparing the corresponding context of the destination location to the plurality of tabs, wherein each tab stores at least one destination location;

store the destination location in the tab of the navigation system corresponding to the corresponding context of the destination location; and

generate and display on the navigation system a route for the vehicle to the destination location of the tab in response to an indication triggering a navigation action for the destination location.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the communication session includes an online meeting and the destination location is determined based on one or more of audio, chat messages, and postings to a collaboration space associated with the online meeting.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the communication session includes a telephone call and the destination location is determined based on audio of the telephone call.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine an intent of a user of the vehicle to travel to the destination location based on communications from the communication session, wherein the indication triggering the navigation action includes the intent of the user of the vehicle to travel to the destination location.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein storing the destination location includes:

storing the destination location in the tab of the navigation system via an application programming interface.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

present the tab on a user interface with the destination location visually modified.

16. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media encoded with processing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a vehicle, cause the one or more processors to:

conduct, over a network, a communication session including a conversation between a user of the vehicle and one or more remote users;

monitor the communication session in real-time and determine, via natural language processing techniques, a destination location mentioned during the conversation of the communication session and a corresponding context of the destination location;

identify a tab maintained by a navigation system of the vehicle from among a plurality of tabs by comparing the corresponding context of the destination location to the plurality of tabs, wherein each tab stores at least one destination location;

store the destination location in the tab of the navigation system corresponding to the corresponding context of the destination location; and

generate and display on the navigation system a route for the vehicle to the destination location of the tab in response to an indication triggering a navigation action for the destination location.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16 , wherein the communication session includes an online meeting and the destination location is determined based on one or more of audio, chat messages, and postings to a collaboration space associated with the online meeting.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16 , wherein the communication session includes a telephone call and the destination location is determined based on audio of the telephone call.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16 , wherein the processing instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

determine an intent of a user of the vehicle to travel to the destination location based on communications from the communication session, wherein the indication triggering the navigation action includes the intent of the user of the vehicle to travel to the destination location.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media of claim 16 , wherein storing the destination location includes:

storing the destination location in the tab of the navigation system via an application programming interface.
