Predictive destination entry for a navigation system

A predictive destination entry system for a vehicle navigation system to aid in obtaining a destination for the vehicle. The navigation system utilizes a memory for storing data relating to prior driving history or habits. A processor connected with the memory examines the information stored in the memory for making predictions for the current destination desired by a user of the vehicle. The information stored in the memory may be segregated into distinct user profiles and may include the vehicle location, previous driving history of the vehicle, previous searching history of a user of the vehicle, or sensory input relating to one or more characteristics of the vehicle. The navigation system may either confirm the predicted destination with the user of the vehicle before generating or displaying a travel route to the predicted destination or may automatically generate and display the travel route without verifying the destination with the user.

Refining location estimates and reverse geocoding based on a user profile

The present invention pertains to enhancement or refinement of estimated locations based upon user-specific information. Upon user authorization, geographical information is extracted from a number of user-related sources, including the web browser history, search history, maps history, address book, e-mail archives and calendar entries. Such information is used to build a spatial index of specific physical locations for a geocoded result set. From this, heat maps identifying particular locations from the user-related sources are created for different periods of time. The heat maps may be used to refine an initial location estimate of the user. This may be done by determining whether one or more positions in a given heat map provide a more accurate position of the user than the initial estimate. If so, a best position is selected. This can be used to provide enhanced driving directions to the user.

Method for maintaining a record of searches and results

The invention is a method for storing searches and results on the Internet. A software solution allows a user to search the Internet in the conventional manner, and to click on links presented as a result from other search engines. The solution then remembers and stores in a search history all search strings typed, result pages viewed, and all external result links clicked on, along with the date and time on which these actions occurred. The history allows the user to examine all the steps of the search along with information from the links clicked on, or to view and edit the history in various ways. A user can manually add a listing to the history without having to search for or click on a particular listing. The relevancy of the search results can be adjusted based on the stored web pages in the profile of a user.

Interactive user interface for an intelligent assistant

A system, method and computer program for performing voice commands on a mobile device and presenting the results on an interactive timeline is disclosed. A user may utter a voice command into the microphone of their mobile device while an application is running. The voice command is processed to derive the intention of the user, specifically by determining the domain, at least one task and at least one parameter for the task from the voice command. A services component performs the task identified and presents the results on the mobile device screen. In various embodiments, the results are presented on a timeline and may be grouped together by domains and sorted by the time that the results were obtained. A search history view may also be viewed that includes search results sorted chronologically each of which is represented graphically by an icon that represents the category of each search. When a user utters a voice command, the text representation is displayed together with an edit button, a resay button, and a progress bar.

Authentication Process Using Search Technology

Systems and methods are presented for improved authentication and risk analysis processes using search engine technology. In one potential implementation, an authorization request message is received at a payment processing network as part of a transaction between a user and a merchant. The payment processing network analyzes risk based on a search history associated with the user involved in the transaction with the merchant. A response to the authentication request is made based in part on the risk associated with the user search history. In further embodiments, a user registers with a search engine as part of a service for improved authentication, where the user accepts privacy settings allowing storage of search and transaction data by a search engine server. The search engine server passes search and transaction data to a risk analysis server for creation of risk parameters which may be used to authenticate transactions.

System and method for dynamic transaction management and collaborative authoring of a negotiable document

A system and method for enabling coordinated, collaborative, data-driven document negotiation among multiple, divergent parties, either internally or externally, in a virtual environment. A comprehensive, singular, transaction management platform that transforms documents from a manual, text-based and paper-laden business and legal process into a data-driven experience via a negotiable transaction environment. The system streamlines and automates coordination of the life cycle of a binding document from deal origination to collaborative negotiation to executed agreement to archival to system-generated analytics. A term-based engine replaces the manual business and legal processes, and streamlines management of communication, approvals, signatures, commenting, recordkeeping and documentation. It provides a collaborative process for authoring text-based terms, as an alternative to an iterative, sequential drafting process; and an online, real-time searchable history of all changes for later discovery and / or compliance. As the system gathers data from transaction activity and final agreement, it dynamically builds workflow deliverables as well as analyzes resultant data and creates actionable business intelligence.
