  • Computerized systems and methods for identifying points-of-interest using customized query prediction
    Patent number: 9811559
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying points-of-interest using customized query prediction. According to certain embodiments, a partial query is received from a client via a network. The partial query may comprise a plurality of characters associated with a full query and location data associated with the client. The received partial query may be analyzed using at least one dictionary. Based on the analysis of the received partial query, at least one query may be predicted. Moreover, at least one point-of-interest may be identified based on the at least one predicted query. Further, data associated with the at least one identified point-of-interest may be transmitted over the network to the client prior to receiving the full query from the client.
