Publication number: 20120030239Abstract: Computer method and apparatus manages and navigates computer implemented information. A first source information and second source information are related as parent-child information. Keywords are extracted from the first and second source information and are used to relate second source information to the first source information. This produces dynamic sets or groupings of second source information related by keywords. Display of a listing of the keywords enables user navigation of the information especially according to the groupings of second source information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2011Publication date: February 2, 2012Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Chenita D. Daughtry, Angelo Lynn, Ebubechukwu I. Okafor, Latoya Sankey, Razeyah R. Stephen

Publication number: 20110302188Abstract: A system may receive one or more terms of a search query. The system may automatically identify prior search queries that include the one or more terms of the search query from a history of prior search queries. The system may automatically identify possible spelling corrected search queries based on the one or more terms of the search queries. The system may automatically receive remote server-based query completion suggestions including the one or more terms of the search query. The system may present query refinement options, the query refinement box being populated with the prior search queries as suggested queries for possible selection by a user, the identified possible spelling corrected search queries, and the received query completion suggestions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2011Publication date: December 8, 2011Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventor: George DJABAROV

Publication number: 20110270849Abstract: A method for providing search results in response to a search query is provided. The method includes receiving the search query from a user and generating a plurality of results in response to the search query. The plurality of results may be ranked according to an original relevancy score. The method further includes generating a click relevancy score for each of the plurality of results and re-ranking the plurality of results according to the click relevancy score.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2010Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Manik Varma, Vidit Jain

Publication number: 20110202533Abstract: This patent application pertains to dynamic search interaction. One example includes an organizational component configured to obtain a search query from a user. The organizational component can also be configured to obtain related search queries. The organizational component can further be configured to organize the related search queries by topic and to estimate a relative likelihood that an intent of the user matches an individual topic. This example also includes an image generation component configured to cause the organized related search queries to be presented on a graphical user interface (GUI) in a manner that reflects the relative likelihood.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2010Publication date: August 18, 2011Inventors: Ye-Yi Wang, Robert L. Rounthwaite, Scott K. Imig

Publication number: 20110184893Abstract: A query may be received at a computing device and may include one or more terms. For each set of structured data tuples, a set of tokens may be determined from the terms of the query by the computing device based on attribute values of attributes associated with the structured data tuples in the set of structured data tuples. An annotated query may be determined from each of the sets of tokens. A probability score may be determined for each of the determined annotated queries. The annotated query having the highest determined probability score may be selected, and one or more structured data tuples may be identified from the structured data tuples that have attributes with attribute values that match one or more tokens of the selected annotated query.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Stelios Paparizos, Nikolaos Sarkas, Panayiotis Tsaparas

Publication number: 20110167053Abstract: A system that can analyze a multi-dimensional input thereafter establishing a search query based upon extracted features from the input. In a particular example, an image can be used as an input to a search mechanism. Pattern recognition and image analysis can be applied to the image thereafter establishing a search query that corresponds to features extracted from the image input. The system can also facilitate indexing multi-dimensional searchable items thereby making them available to be retrieved as results to a search query. More particularly, the system can employ text analysis, pattern and/or speech recognition mechanisms to extract features from searchable items. These extracted features can be employed to index the searchable items.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2011Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Stephen Lawler, Eric J. Horvitz, Joshua T. Goodman, Anoop Gupta, Christopher A. Meek, Eric D. Brill, Gary W. Flake, Ramez Naam, Surajit Chaudhuri, Oliver Hurst-Hiller

Publication number: 20100211589Abstract: An imaging apparatus sets a search condition of image data so as to contain a condition that image data to be searched is created between a latest send image data that has most recently been sent among pieces of image data, which are read from a storage unit and sent to a display device or which are sent from either the imaging apparatus or other imaging apparatus to the display device, and image data that is created at the earliest time after the latest send image data has been created among the pieces of the image data stored in the storage unit; determines image data to be sent to the display device from among pieces of image data stored in each of the imaging apparatus and the other imaging apparatus, based on a search result sent from the other imaging apparatus as a response to the sent search condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2010Publication date: August 19, 2010Inventors: Masaomi Tomizawa, Tsugumoto Kosugiyama, Osamu Nonaka

Publication number: 20090164414Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for a query response service for business objects. In general, data characterizing a request to perform a query on multiple instances of a business object may be received, where the query includes selection criteria for multiple attributes across multiple nodes for each of the instances of the business object. The query may be initiated on the instances of the business object. Results including values from the attributes across the nodes of the business objects may be returned. The query may be assigned to a node of the business object, which may be a query response transformation node. The node may include a combination of attributes associated with the attributes across the nodes of the business object. Results may be sorted on a server, sent as pages to a client, or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2007Publication date: June 25, 2009Applicant: SAP AGInventors: Steffen Tatzel, Maic Wintel, Ye Jin, Martin Hartig
