Patent ID: 8315799

Claim:
A computer implemented method of confirming an orally entered address that is entered into a mobile navigation device, the computer implemented method comprising: receiving a global positioning system (GPS) root address component from a GPS, wherein the GPS root address component is a text name of a root location at which a mobile navigation device is currently located; receiving an orally entered address, wherein the orally entered address comprises an oral root address component and an oral subunit component of the oral root address component; speech-to-text converting the orally entered address into a text address, wherein the text address comprises a converted root address component and a converted subunit component that respectively correspond with the oral root address component and the oral subunit component; assigning a higher level of trustworthiness to the converted root address component over the GPS root address component; comparing the converted root address component with the GPS root address component; in response to the converted root address component failing to match the GPS root address component, updating a GPS database by replacing the GPS root address component with the converted root address component; in response to the converted root address component matching the GPS root address component, terminating any further speech-to-text conversion of the orally entered address and creating a complete text address using the converted subunit component, the converted root address component, and additional larger-scale geographic information from the GPS; and the mobile navigation device processing the complete text address.
