Abstract

Improved capabilities are described for locating information using a mobile communication facility, based in part on receiving an information request from a mobile communication facility, attempting to locate the information, but not succeeding, and automatically presenting to the mobile communication facility a suggestion related to the information request.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving an information request from a mobile communication facility;

attempting to locate information associated with the information request, wherein in the event the information is not located, automatically presenting to the mobile communication facility a suggestion related to the information request.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of automatically presenting suggestions to the mobile communication facility further comprises processing the information request through a search engine.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the information request is formatted as a search query.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the search query is made using a query entry facility of the mobile communication facility.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the query entry facility is adapted to receive an explicit query request from a user of the mobile communication facility.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the explicit query request is based at least in part on a text query entry.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the explicit query request is based at least in part on a voice recognition query entry.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein the query entry facility receives an implicit query request.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the implicit query request is based at least in part on time of day.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the implicit query request is based at least in part on location.

12. The method of claim 3, wherein the search query is made using a query entry facility of a website.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the information request is formatted as a multiple term information request.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the information request is formatted as an address request.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein the address request is formatted as a website address.

24. The method of claim 1, wherein the address is not located due to it being associated with an incorrect address.

29. The method of claim 1, wherein the information request is received by a server.

32. The method of claim 1, wherein a browser application processes the information request.

38. The method of claim 1, wherein the suggestion is located by submitting a query to a search engine.

49. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile communication facility is a mobile phone.

50. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile communication facility is a personal digital assistant.

51. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile communication facility is a pocket personal computer.

103. The method of claim 1 wherein the mobile communication facility is a phone.

104. The method of claim 1 wherein the mobile communication facility is a cellular phone.

105. The method of claim 1 wherein the mobile communication facility is a GSM phone.
