First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining a search query initiated at a mobile device, said search query comprising one or more search terms;
obtaining an inertial state of said mobile device indicated by one or more inertial sensor measurements obtained at said mobile device; and
processing said search query to obtain one or more search results responsive to said one or more search terms, said one or more search results limited to a geographic scope that is based, at least in part, on said inertial state indicated by said one or more inertial sensor measurements.
