Abstract

A system and method for receiving an indication of an environmental context; receiving a query request; determining a query result in reply to the query request based, at least in part, on the environmental context; and presenting the query result in a format depending on the environmental context.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving an indication of an environmental context;

receiving a query request;

determining a query result in response to the query request based, at least in part, on the environmental context; and

presenting the query result in a format depending on the environmental context.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the environmental context is determined based on a signal provided by at least one environmental sensor that senses a velocity, an activity, and a combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the environmental sensor is at least one of a light sensor, a position sensor, a microphone, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a global positioning satellite sensor, a temperature sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, a proximity sensor, an altimeter, a magnetic field sensor, a compass, an image sensor, a bio-feedback sensor, and combinations thereof.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the query request may be received as alpha-numeric input, as spoken speech, and a machine readable entry (QR code, bar code, etc.)

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the search result is retrieved via a network interfaced device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining of the query result is automatically adjusted based, at least in part, on the environmental context.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein at least one of a speed and a detail of the query result is adjusted based, at least in part, on the environmental context.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the format of the query result presenting is a visual display output, an audible output, and combinations therein.

9. A system comprising:

a machine readable medium storing processor-executable instructions thereon; and

a processor to execute the instructions to;

receive an indication of an environmental context;

receive a query request;

determine a query result in response to the query request based, at least in part, on the environmental context; and

present the query result in a format depending on the environmental context.

10. The system of claim 9, further comprising at least one environmental sensor that provides a signal indicative of a velocity, an activity, and a combination thereof.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the environmental sensor is at least one of a light sensor, a position sensor, a microphone, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a global positioning satellite sensor, a temperature sensor, a barometric pressure sensor, a proximity sensor, an altimeter, a magnetic field sensor, a compass, an image sensor, a bio-feedback sensor, and combinations thereof.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the query request may be received as alpha-numeric input, as spoken speech, and a machine readable entry (QR code, bar code, etc.)

13. The system of claim 9, further comprising a network interfaced device to retrieve the search result.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the determining of the query result is automatically adjusted based, at least in part, on the environmental context.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein at least one of a speed and a level of detail of the query result is adjusted based, at least in part, on the environmental context.

16. The system of claim 9, wherein the format of the query result presenting is a visual display output, an audible output, and combinations therein.

17. A non-transitory medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, the medium comprising:

instructions to receive an indication of an environmental context;

instructions to receive a query request;

instructions to determine a query result in response to the query request based, at least in part, on the environmental context; and

instructions to present the query result, the format of the presenting depending on the environmental context.

18. The medium of claim 17, wherein the environmental context comprises at least a velocity, an activity, and a combination thereof.

19. The medium of claim 17, wherein the determining of the query result is automatically adjusted based, at least in part, on the environmental context.

20. The medium of claim 17, wherein at least one of a speed and a level of detail of the query result is adjusted based, at least in part, on the environmental context.

21. The medium of claim 17, wherein the format of the query result presenting is a visual display output, an audible output, and combinations therein.
