In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for sending a communications header with the voice recording to send metadata for use in speech recognition, formatting, and search in searching for web content on a mobile communication facility comprising capturing speech presented by a user using a resident capture facility on the mobile communication facility; transmitting a communications header to a speech recognition facility from the mobile communication facility through a wireless communications facility, wherein the communications header includes at least one of device name, network type, audio source, display parameters for the wireless communications facility, geographic location, and phone number information; transmitting at least a portion of the captured speech as data through the wireless communication facility to a speech recognition facility; generating speech-to-text results utilizing the speech recognition facility based at least in part on the information relating to the captured speech and the communications header; and transmitting text from the speech-to-text results along with URL usage information configured to enable a user to conduct a search on the mobile communication facility.

A query server of a mobile search engine system for searching content items accessible online, is arranged to send at least a first screenview of search results (63) to a browser of a mobile device (10), and send instructions (69, 74) in a scripting language to the browser for a background process to fetch further search results to the mobile device for presentation later. The further search results can then be viewed as desired without the need for a further round trip delay across the wireless network. The user can be presented with a simpler navigation model. The first screenview can be sent in the form of a page formatting template, and results data. The formatting information can be reused for other results, to reduce formatting overhead in the downloads. The instructions can also be used for showing information while waiting for downloads, or downloading information during entry of search queries.

A query server (50) provides a mobile search service, by fetching search results corresponding to the search query (180), preparing (200) a package (261) containing more than one page defined by a mark up language, and sending the package to a mobile device (10), across a wireless network (20). A browser (15) running on the mobile device presents the pages. A user can browse the results with a conventional browser quickly without having to wait for each page to be downloaded over the network, and without having to download and run a custom application. Having page boundaries in the search results, rather than having all the results in a single page, can reduce laborious scrolling, reduce the number of clicks needed to find an item of interest, or enable more items to be sent and browsed.

An input system for mobile search and a method therefor are provided. The input system includes an input module receiving a code input for a specific term and a voice input corresponding thereto, a database including a glossary and an acoustic model, wherein the glossary includes a plurality of terms and a sequence list, and each of the terms has a search weight based on an order of the sequence list, a process module selecting a first number of candidate terms from the glossary according to the code input by using an input algorithm and obtaining a second number of candidate terms by using a speech recognition algorithm to compare the voice input with the first number of candidate terms via the acoustic model, wherein the second number of candidate terms are listed in a particular order based on their respective search weights, and an output module showing the second number of candidate terms in the particular order for selecting the specific term therefrom.

A method for detecting and representing one or more objects, such as teeth, their preparations and their immediate environment, using a camera. A first recording is made wherein a still image is produced. The still image is blended into a current, mobile search image in at least one sub-area in the second step, so that both images are recognizable. In the third step, the camera is positioned in such a way that the search image overlaps the blended-in still image in at least one sub-area. The second recording process is initiated in a fourth step.

At least some embodiments of this invention provide for an easy way to share mobile content found as a result of searching and/or browsing on the Internet. Aspects of the invention provides software, systems (meaning software and hardware to run the software) or an exchange of signals with users to provide a mobile content service. Other related aspects provide methods for providing or using such a search service. According to one aspect there is provided a system to provide a search service for finding and sharing online content, the system being arranged to receive a search query from a user on a mobile device, send search results to a user's mobile device, prompt the user to select one or more items from the search results to be published, and publish the selected item or items. Publishing includes sending the selected item or items to a recipient associated with a share link configured by a user, to a user's public stream of results which is visible to any user, to a user's private stream which is visible only to the user or to nominated friends and/or as an electronic greeting to another user. The system may also be arranged to provide to a user sending instructions explaining how to publish the selected search results to a third party recipient using the messaging function of the mobile device but not to send the sending instructions to the third party recipient without the sending instructions.

A search engine (50, 35, 60, 63, 103) interacts (17) with the user while they are accessing (7) an existing online content item to enable the user to create a mobile web version of at least a portion of that existing online content item. The mobile version is stored (37, 63) and indexed (35, 709) as a user created search result, retrievable by the search engine in response to a search query (47). This can produce better results than automated conversion, and thus improve mobile search. The interaction can involve constraining a size and text format of the mobile web version so it can reasonably be viewed on a screen of a hand held mobile device.

The present invention includes systems and methods for retrieving information via a flexible and consistent targeted search model that employs interactive multi-prefix, multi-tier and dynamic menu information retrieval techniques (including predictive text techniques to facilitate the generation of targeted ads) that provide context-specific functionality tailored to particular information channels, as well as to records within or across such channels, and other known state information. Users are presented with a consistent search interface among multiple tiers across and within a large domain of information sources, and need not learn different or special search syntax. A thin-client server-controlled architecture enables users of resource-constrained mobile communications devices to locate targeted information more quickly by entering fewer keystrokes and performing fewer query iterations and web page refreshes, which in turn reduces required network bandwidth.

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a multiple web-based content search user interface in searching for web content on a mobile communication facility comprising capturing speech presented by a user using a resident capture facility on the mobile communication facility; transmitting at least a portion of the captured speech as data through a wireless communication facility to a speech recognition facility; generating speech-to-text results utilizing the speech recognition facility; and transmitting text from the speech-to-text results along with URL usage information configured to enable a user to conduct a search on the mobile communication facility.

A wireless communication device is disclosed that is capable of performing efficient network searching. Specifically, by utilizing its location information and accessing stored cell information, the device can streamline searching. Further, if a full search is to be performed, the device receives information from multiple radio access technologies together, and processes the received information digitally in order to search the individual radio access technologies. In addition, the device is capable of performing efficient 4G searches by setting its RF module to capture information of multiple raster points simultaneously within a search band, and shifting the search band so as not to duplicatively search raster points.
