Google Patent - The Phone Can Predict What You're Searching For By analyzing certain data	By Iohana Georgescu, Communications News Editor 10th of March 2007, 08:06 GMT Adjust text size:


More details on a possible Google phone are surfacing as each day passes by. People aren't impressed by Nokia, Sony Ericsson or other such phones anymore, at least not easily impressed. That's why, if Google is actually planning a phone, especially after the unveiling of the iPhone, it better be impressive in some way. Well, it looks like Google has also filed for a patent that might give a clue on what applications they might include in such a phone. The patent filing details an application that can predict what a user wants to find or type in a text message, by analyzing the user's location, previous searches and messaging history. It also includes information regarding how data is stored on Google's servers and how queries are sent each time the user searches for something or types a message. The idea is pretty exciting seeing as the phone would practically anticipate what you are thinking and adapt to your needs. Here's some of the information from the patent filing: "In one implementation, providing the dictionary data to the remote device may include transmitting the data to a mobile phone. The system may also receive user preferences that are used in searching based on the search results. The generating of the dictionary data may also include producing data related to the information indicative of the user location. The generated dictionary data may be associated with places near the user location. Also, the generated dictionary data may be associated with common query data from users near the user location, and may be provided to the remote device in response to a request from the remote device. The dictionary data may also be compressed before it is provided to the remote device, and the data may include supplemental data for addition to a preexisting dictionary on the remote device. "
