PREDICTIVE 411
First Claim
1. A computer implemented predictive information method, comprising:
- a processor detecting a user action in connection with a device within said user'"'"'s possession;
said processor predicting that said user action, explicitly or implicitly, comprises a query from said user by examining a plurality of any of the following factors;
search terms previously typed or spoken by said user and any other historical attributes of said user, historical journey attributes of said user, current journey attributes of said user, user location, user movement, current time, user profile, user calendar, user information stored on, or associated with, a device within the user'"'"'s possession;
based upon said predicting, said processor determining any of said user'"'"'s intent, query category, and issue category; and
based upon said determining, said processor presenting to said user a proactive offer containing query and/or issue categories related to said user'"'"'s intent.

Abstract
A system predicts the intent of a user and proactively offers to perform a query that satisfies that intent. Upon the user'"'"'s acceptance of the offer, the system begins a search for related information. The system examines such factors as search terms typed or spoken by said user, historical attributes of said user, historical journey attributes of said user, current journey attributes of said user, user location, user movement, current time, user profile, user calendar, user information stored on, or associated with, a device within the user'"'"'s possession. The system then makes a prediction of any of the user'"'"'s intent, query category, and issue category. Based upon the results of the system'"'"'s prediction, a query that is relevant to the user'"'"'s intent and/or issue categories is presented and, upon the user'"'"'s command, the results of the search are returned to the user.
