METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONDUCTING A SEARCH BASED ON AVAILABLE DATA MODES
First Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- sensor data associated with at least one device, the sensor data determined from among a plurality of available data modes;
a processing of the sensor data to cause, at least in part, an extraction of one or more search terms for at least one query; and
at least one determination of one or more results of the at least one query based, at least in part, on context information associated with the at least one device, user profile information associated with the at least one device, or a combination thereof.

Abstract
An approach is provided for conducting a search based on an extraction of a search term from available sensor data. The approach involves determining sensor data associated with at least one device, the sensor data determined from among a plurality of available data modes. The approach also involved processing and/or facilitating a processing of the sensor data to cause, at least in part, an extraction of one or more search terms for at least one query. The approach further involves determining one or more results of the at least one query based, at least in part, on context information associated with the at least one device, user profile information associated with the at least one device, or a combination thereof.
