<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fulfill a request that a driver wants to know a name of a mountain or other objects viewed from a vehicle while driving. <P>SOLUTION: When the driver switches to an object guide mode by operating a remote controller 8, a CPU 24 acquires a current position and a travelling direction of the vehicle, and pictures a face of the driver with a video camera 13. For example, if the driver inputs a voice through a microphone 15 by asking 'What is the name of that mountain?' while facing toward the mountain, a voice recognition processing unit 14 recognizes a question. An object detection means 24c of the CPU 24 reads out the name of the mountain in question that is located in a direction that the driver is facing based on the vehicle's current position and travelling direction, and outputs the name to a speaker 18 or a liquid crystal display 7. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
