SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AN INTELLIGENT MULTI-MODAL USER INTERFACE FOR ROUTE DRAWING

摘要

A system and method for providing an interactive, multi-modal interface used to generate a route drawing. A mobile terminal display (310) initially displays map data indicative of a user's region of interest (FIG. 4). Through a series of audible, visual, and tactile excitations (314-320), the user interacts with the route drawing system to generate a desired route to be superimposed upon the user's region of interest (FIG. 7). User preferences (814) are used by the system to intelligently aid the user in selection of each segment of the route to be drawn. An analysis of each segment, as well as an analysis of the final route, is performed so that the attributes of the route (706), along with the graphical representation of the route itself, may be stored either locally within the mobile terminal or remotely within a map server.
