Patent number: 9785648Abstract: A system for ranking geospatial entities is described. In one embodiment, the system comprises an interface for receiving ranking data about a plurality of geospatial entities and an entity ranking module. The module uses a ranking mechanism to generate place ranks for the geospatial entities based on the ranking data. Ranked entity data generated by the entity ranking module is stored in a database. The entity ranking module may be configured to evaluate a plurality of diverse attributes to determine a total score for a geospatial entity. The entity ranking module may be configured to organize ranked entity data into placemark layers.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Michael T. Jones, Brian McClendon, Amin P. Charaniya, Michael Ashbridge

Publication number: 20150261858Abstract: A system and method is provided that infers a user's intent when the user searches for a particular address or other geographic location. In that regard, the system and method may select advertisements in response to a user searching for street addresses. The advertisements may be selected by searching for advertisements that match search terms associated with the street address, where the search terms were associated with the street address based on the businesses at the street address.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2009Publication date: September 17, 2015Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Xinyu Tang, Vibhor Nanavati, Charles Chapin, Chikai J.

Patent number: 9069866Abstract: Location-specific content is automatically generated for a particular entity having a plurality of physical locations. Database entries that contain identifying data associated with the particular entity are searched for to obtain location information of each of the plurality of physical locations. The location information, in correlation with one or more keywords associated with the particular entity, is stored in a computer-readable electronic database such that a user-generated query that includes at least one of the keywords and a search location causes a processor to execute operations that initiates a search of the computer-readable electronic database for the location information of the physical locations that are in proximity to the search location. At least one result that is displayable to the user is provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Chikai J. Ohazama, Joshua Sacks, Chia-Nee Michelle Chen, Sanjay Gajanan Mavinkurve, Amin P. Charaniya
