GENERATING DISTINCT ENTITY NAMES TO FACILITATE ENTITY DISAMBIGUATION
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating generation of entity names, the method comprising:
- determining a set of previously submitted queries that are associated with an entity;
identifying, via a computing device, the most frequently used query within the set of previously submitted queries associated with the entity; and
designating the most frequently used query as an entity name for the entity, the entity name distinctly identifying the entity from other entities.

Abstract
Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing methods for facilitating generation of entity names for entities are provided. The method includes determining a set of previously submitted queries that are associated with an entity. The most frequently used query within the set of previously submitted queries associated with the entity can be identified and, thereafter, designated as the entity name for the entity. The entity name can distinguish the entity from other entities. Such an entity name can be provided for presentation to a user, for example, as a related search suggestion via a search results page.

8. A method for facilitating generation of entity names comprising:
-
recognizing an indication to generate a unique entity name for an entity; determining whether the entity is associated with at least a threshold number of queries, wherein when the entity is associated with at least the threshold number of queries, using a first entity-name generating approach to generate an entity name for the entity, and when the entity is not associated with the at least the threshold number of queries, using a second entity-name generating approach to generate the entity name for the entity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. One or more computer-readable storage media having embodied thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor in a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method of facilitating generation of entity names, the method comprising:
-
generating a plurality of candidate entity names for an entity using a plurality of entity-name generating techniques; selecting a most distinct human-readable entity name for the entity from among the plurality of candidate entity names, wherein the selection is based at least in part on the entity-name generating techniques used to generate the corresponding candidate entity names; and providing the selected entity name for presentation via a search results page to unambiguously represent the entity. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
