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.

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.

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. A user may modify the text representation at any time while the natural language processing is being performed.

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.

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.

The fitness estimating module computes a set of estimated values of true fitnesses on the basis of the search history stored in the search history storage device for output to the multiobjective evolutionary algorithm unit. The multiobjective evolutionary algorithm unit determines a Pareto-optimal population in accordance with a genetic algorithm on the basis of a plurality of sets of estimated values.

A method, system and computer program product for enhancing the usability of web browsers by analyzing the recent behavior of an operator while executing a search pattern on a computer network. A search history and indexing datastore is defined and associated with the web document parser. The web document parser parses through each returned web page for significant terms that may be of later importance to the user. These terms are then forwarded to the datastore and indexed along with the search term to later provide a historical guide to identify the user's areas/topics of interest. When a search term is entered within the web browser, the search terms is compared against the index of terms for similar terms. The similar terms found are ranked according to closeness to the entered search term, and the ranked terms outputted to the user for possible selection in lieu of the search term.
