  • Patent number: 10585942
    Abstract: A system for presenting targeted search results to a mobile communication facility, where the search results are based on a viewing history of audio content consumed by a user on a mobile communication facility, the audio content delivered by a carrier of cellular services to the mobile communication facility. Upon receiving a query from the mobile communication facility the system determines whether the query is contextually more relevant to audio content than search results unrelated to the audio content based on the viewing history. This determination is used to direct the mobile communication facility to prioritize a search result from the query based on the search result being related to the audio content consumed by the user, over search results from the query unrelated to the audio content consumed by the user.
