Abstract: A list of geographic search results is received, where each search result includes a location of a corresponding geographic entity and information related to the geographic entity. The list is organized according to an original order. The received search results are provided via the user interface according to the original order. In response to receiving a selection of one of the geographic search results via the user interface, a modified order of the list is generated based on (i) the original order of the list and (ii) the order in which the selection was received relative to other selections of geographic search results from the list. The received search results then are provided via the user interface according to the modified order.

Abstract: To provide effective navigation directions to a user in an automotive environment, a system determines information related to navigating the user to a destination, determines whether a screen of the portable device currently is in a line-of-sight with the user and generates a navigation instruction based on the determined information. Generating the navigation instruction includes selecting a level of detail of visual information for the navigation instruction in view of whether the screen is in the line-of-sight with the user.

Abstract: According to a computer implemented method and system for matching user-generated text content, users “freely” specify content by means of fed-in texts which are matched automatically, according to rules in the embodiment. An embodiment of the invention allows customers to specify what items or services to request or offer by adding, to the “MyHaves” or “MyWants” selection criteria, using typed-in descriptions. Traditionally, for the purpose of matching supplies and demands, the specification of an individual's “wants” and “haves” is done by selecting options that are predefined by, or hard-coded into, the system's “drop-down menu”—rather than allowing customers to freely define what they want or have.
