Google Patent Details Mobile Search Plans
A new patent application published today may reveal some of Google’s plans for mobile search, according to ZDNet blogger Russell Shaw.
The application, Local Search and Mapping for Mobile Devices, describes a method that geo-targets a local search based on user-submitted text info, a location currently being displayed on a map, or using the location of user detected via GPS.
The application also goes into detail on some possible page navigation methods, with stored query histories, visual hints of which direction on the map has more results to a query, and click-to-dial functionality.
