  • Publication number: 20250103642
    Abstract: Visual search in an operating system of a computing device can process and provide additional information on the content being provided for display. The computing device can include an operating system that includes a visual search interface that obtains and processes display data associated with content currently being provided for display. The visual search interface can generate display data based on the current content provided for display, process the display data with one or more on-device machine-learned models, and provide additional information to the user. The visual search interface may transmit data associated with the display data to perform additional data processing tasks. Application suggestions may be determined and provided based on the visual search data.
