Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a system and method of utilizing a companion application on a mobile device to obtain information indicative of an event associated with a user of the mobile device. The event information is forwarded to a push recommendation service that utilizes a recommendation engine to generate at least one content recommendation for the user based on the event information. The push recommendation service identifies a head unit that is associated with the mobile device or the companion application. The push recommendation service sends the head unit identifier and the content recommendation to a remote server, which provides the content recommendation to the head unit based on the head unit identifier. The head unit then presents the content recommendation to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards a system and method of generating content recommendation rules for a vehicle head unit. A content recommendation and telemetry information of a vehicle are received by at least one remote server. The at least one remote server determines at least one content recommendation rule based on the at least one content recommendation and the telemetry information. The at least one remote server provides the at least one content recommendation rule to the head unit. The head unit detects an event associated with the head unit and selects content to present to the user based on a comparison of the detected event to the at least one content recommendation rule. The head unit then presents the selected content to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing multi-index searches are described in which a search string may be received, and processed by first running the query through a general search index, such as an Internet or e-commerce search. The results of the general search may then be analyzed to determine an appropriate context for the search query, e.g. clothing, sports, games, etc. The search query may then be processed using a second search index that is tuned to the specific context of the search query. After obtaining the results to the second search, the second search index and/or ranking algorithms may be modified to improve future search results having a similar context.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a navigation element generation application. A navigation element comprising a plurality of navigation aids is generated responsive to a search query and other data. A relevance score is calculated for the navigation element. The navigation element is inserted into a ranked list of search result items as a function of the relevance score and communicated to a client.
