Claim Text:
1. A system for providing global position system (GPS) feedback to a user in a first vehicle, comprising: an evaluation module capable of evaluating a route of the user received from a GPS via a network to determine potential points of confusion; a collection module capable of collecting at least one of behavioral information and physiological information from the user utilizing at least one sensor placed around the user; an analysis module capable of analyzing the collected information to determine a level of user confusion at a point on the route, comparing the level of user confusion to a threshold, and determining whether the level of the user confusion exceeds the threshold; and a feedback module capable of providing the user with clarifying feedback upon determination of a potential point of confusion and the level of the user confusion exceeding the threshold; wherein the feedback module is further capable of notifying a driver of a second vehicle, within a predetermined area of the user, of the user confusion upon the determination that the level of the user confusion exceeds the threshold; wherein the system implements a training phase to learn how the user manifests the user confusion; wherein the training phase comprises the system learning how the user manifests the user confusion while the user is in a setting outside of the first vehicle; and wherein the analysis module is further capable of automatically concluding, without performing the comparing, that the level of the user confusion exceeds the threshold upon the user making at least one of an explicit declaration of confusion and repeated reference to a GPS display.
