摘要:
Architecture that computes cross-streets of a geographic location using a dynamic routing service. This also means execution can be local on a mobile device without the need to build an additional index of locations and associated cross-streets. Accordingly, the user can now find the cross-streets of a particular location rather than simply the street address. Upon receiving geolocation data for the geographic location, for which the nearest cross-streets are being determined, routing points from which routes are generated to the main point of interest are selected to be sufficiently distant from the main point of interest, since if the routing points are too close, the route may not yield a route sufficiently detailed from which the cross-streets can be inferred. The output is then cross-streets on either side of the geographic location as a means for providing a quick reference to a user seeking the location.

In one embodiment, a clamshell-slate hybrid may act as either a clamshell or slate computing device. The clamshell-slate hybrid 202 may selectively set an activation state of a vestigial key set 426 of a keyboard 424 on a key side 422 of a keyboard chassis 206 hinged along a top axis to a display chassis 204. The clamshell-slate hybrid 202 may retract the vestigial key set 426 based on an activation state. The clamshell-slate hybrid 202 may receive a user input in a touch screen display 354 on a display side 352 of the display chassis 204.

Real-time query expansion (RTQE) is a process of supplementing an original query with addition terms or expansion choices that are ranked according to some figure of merit and presented while users are still formulating their queries. As disclosed herein, phrases may be presented and one or more terms of a focused-on phrase may be pinned (as desirable to the user). Subsequent lists may be presented as a function of pinned terms and/or user input. In one embodiment, a placeholder may be substituted for one or more pinned terms if less than some predetermined threshold of phrases is able to be presented based upon the pinned terms and/or user input, and another list of phrases may be presented as a function of a query using fewer than all the pinned terms. The placeholder may allow out-of-index phrases to be formed, for example, based upon two or more phrases and/or terms input by the user.

摘要:
A redirection object may be obtained, based on a current request of a current requestor. The redirection object request may be associated with a response to a previous request for a redirection to a destination network location, the previous request associated with a previous requestor. A current transmission origination location associated with a current requestor transmission of the current request may be determined. It may be determined whether the current transmission origination location includes a similarity to a previous transmission origination location associated with a previous transmission of the previous request, based on identification information included in the redirection object. It may be determined whether to initiate a redirect operation of the current requestor to the destination network location, based on a result of the determining of the similarity between the current transmission origination location and the previous transmission origination location.

Various embodiments pertain to techniques for proactively delivering navigation options to a user via a mobile device. In various embodiments, one or more navigation options can be determined for the user and delivered to the user's mobile device at a relevant time. Navigation options can be selected based on the user's current location, the user's future plans, the time, and other locally relevant information, such as friends nearby or a nearby favorite location of the user. The navigation options can be delivered to the user's mobile device at a time that the navigation options are relevant.
摘要:
A search engine database is utilized to identify “entities”, or things for which there exists associated discrete, objective information. For hosted information that is independently available, the entity detector independently accesses such information and identifies entities. For information that has defined potential entities, such as entertainment or lifestyle information such defined potential entities are provided to the entity detector to verify, with reference to the search engine database, whether they are entities. Once entities have been identified, a related task generator, with reference to the search engine database, identifies tasks that are related to the identified entities. Such tasks include informational tasks, economic tasks, time-sensitive and location-sensitive tasks. The identified entities and related tasks are provided to applications, with metadata quantifying confidence, relationship, importance, location and time sensitivity, and the like, thereby enabling those applications to proactively provide selects ones of that information to users.
