82 Infotainment System
Usually Phone and Audio
commands can be spoken in a
single command.
For example, Call David Smith
at work, Play followed by the
artist or song name, or Tune
followed by the radio station
number.
Navigation destinations are too
complex for a single command.
First, state a command that
explains the type of destination
needed, such as I want
directions to an Address,
Navigate to an intersection, I
need to find a Place of Interest
or POI, or Directions to a
Contact. The system responds
with requesting more details.
After saying Place of Interest,
only major chains are available
by name. Chains are businesses
with at least 20 locations. For
other POIs, say the name of a
category like Restaurants,
Shopping Malls, or Hospitals.
Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples shown on the
display.
There is no need to memorize
specific command words. Direct
commands might be more clearly
understood by the system. An
example of a direct command would
be Call 555-1212. Examples of
these direct commands are
displayed on most of the screens
while a voice session is active.
If Phone or Phone Commands, is
stated, the system understands that
a phone call is requested and will
respond with questions until enough
details are gathered.
If the phone number has been
saved with a name and a place, the
direct command should include
both, for example Call David Smith
at work.
Using Voice Recognition for
List Options
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt will ask to confirm or select
an option from that list. A selection
can be made by manually selecting
the item, or by speaking the line
number for the item to select.
When a screen contains a list, there
may be options that are available
but not displayed. The list on a
voice recognition screen functions
the same as a list on other screens.
Scrolling or flinging can be used to
help display other entries from
the list.
Manually scrolling or paging the list
on a screen during a voice
recognition session suspends the
current voice recognition event and
plays the prompt Make your
selection from the list using the
manual controls, press BACK on the
faceplate, or press the Back screen
button to try again.
