POIs are done next because the
amount of time it takes to search for
the average POI is consistent. The
less deviation during a search would
mean an average of less time taken.
The Addresses are last because the
standard deviation for an address
search is very large. Some address
searches are very quick, but others
may take very long. Because of this,
the address search would not be
conducted unless a good match
could not be found in either
Contacts or POIs.
Autocomplete
The autocomplete is preloaded with
all recent destinations and POI
category names. Previous POI
name searches are remembered.
If only one type of result is found,
the single type result screen is
shown. Within each group, they are
listed in confidence order. This
means the highest confidence result
will be at the top.
If multiple types of matches are
found, the result list with the highest
confidence match displays.Address and Contact matches are
shown in full width list format. The
match results will display unique
icons for full addresses, streets,
intersections, cities, states/
provinces, and countries.
POIs show in a split list format with
the map on the right displaying the
locations of the matches. The brand
icon or category icon will display for
the match results.
When a list displays, the results for
a particular type can be filtered by
touching the filters along the top of
the screen. If there are no particular
results for a selected type, a
message is indicated in the list.
For example:
.
For no addresses: “No
Addresses Found Within region>”
. For no POIs: “No POIs Found
Within <75 km/50 mi/ 800 km/
500 mi>.” This distance is shown
depending on what radius is
completed and what current
units are selected. .
For no contacts: “No Contacts
Found.”
The system performs partial
searches on contacts, so typing a
first name or last name would find a
match. The entire contact name
does not need to be entered for it to
be found in a search.
Touching a contact listed on the
results list displays the standard
contact details view to select an
item, such as an address to start
routing, or a phone number to place
a call.
Address

54 Voice Recognition
There are two voice prompt modes
supported:
.Long verbal prompts: The longer
prompts provide more
information regarding the
supported actions.
. Short prompts: The short
prompts provide simple
instructions about what can be
stated.
If a command is not spoken, the
voice recognition system says a
help prompt.
Prompts and Screen Displays
While a voice recognition session is
active, there will be corresponding
options on screens displayed.
Manual interaction in the voice
recognition session is permitted.
Interaction during a voice session
may be completed entirely using
voice commands, or some
selections may expedite a session.
If a selection is made using a
manual control, the dialog will
progress in the same way as if the
selection was made through a voice
command. Once the system is able to complete the task, or the session
is terminated, the voice recognition
dialog stops.
An example of this type of manual
intervention is touching an entry of a
displayed number list instead of
speaking the number associated
with the entry desired.
Canceling Voice Recognition
.
Touch the Home Page. Touching
this icon will terminate a voice
recognition session which was
initiated by touching the icon on
the infotainment display.
. Touch or say “Cancel”or“Exit”
to terminate the voice
recognition session and display
the screen from which voice
recognition was initiated.
. Press
con the steering wheel
controls to terminate the voice
session and show the display
from which voice recognition
was initiated. Most languages do not support
natural language commands in
sentence form. For those
languages, use direct commands
like the examples on the display.
Helpful Hints for Speaking
Commands
Voice recognition can understand
commands that are either naturally
stated in sentence form, or direct
commands that state the application
and the task.
For best results:
.
Listen for the prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or reply.
. Say “Help” or look at the
infotainment display for example
commands.
. Voice recognition prompt can be
interrupted while it is playing by
pressing
gon the steering
wheel controls again.
For example, if the prompt
seems to be taking too long to
finish, to speak the command

58 Voice Recognition
There are no restrictions if the
number of song files and albums is
less than 4,000. When the number
of song files connected to the
system is between 4,000 and 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like
“Play .”
The restriction is that the command
“Play Song”must be spoken first;
the system will then ask for the song
name. The reply command would be
to say the name of the song to play.
Similar limits exist for album
content. If there are more than
4,000 albums, but less than 8,000,
the content cannot be accessed
directly with one command like,
“Play .” The
command “Play Album” must first be
spoken; the system will then ask for
the album name. The reply would
be to say the name of the album
to play. Once the number of songs has
exceeded approximately 8,000,
there is no support for accessing the
songs directly through voice
commands. There will still be
access to the media content by
using commands for playlists,
artists, and genres.
The access commands for playlists,
artists, and genres are prohibited
after the number of this type of
media exceeds 4,000.
The system will provide feedback
the first time voice recognition is
initiated if it has become apparent
that any of these limits are reached
during a device initializing process.
