SEARCH TERM PREDICTION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for predicting a search term of a search, the method comprising:
- building, by a server, a search prediction dictionary database, the search prediction dictionary database including a plurality of search terms and a plurality of prediction scores corresponding to the plurality of search terms;
receiving, by the server, one or more characters from a user device over a network, the one or more characters corresponding to the search;
identifying, by the server, one or more predicted search terms based on the one or more characters, the identifying including determining one or more of the plurality of search terms including the one or more characters; and
providing, by the server, a search term prediction list including the one or more predicted search terms to the user device for display on a display device of the user device.

9. A system for predicting a search term, comprising:
a server that includes; a search prediction dictionary builder that generates a search prediction dictionary database that stores one or more keywords each associated with one or more prediction scores; a search term predictor that, in response to receiving at least one character of a search input to a user device, identifies one or more predicted keywords from the one or more keywords in the search prediction dictionary database; and the search term predictor that receives the at least one character provides a search term prediction list that includes the one or more predicted keywords. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A search term prediction system, comprising:
-
search prediction dictionary building means that generates a search prediction dictionary database that stores one or more keywords associated with one or more prediction scores; prediction means that identifies one or more predicted search terms from the one or more keywords in the search prediction dictionary database based on at least one character received from an input means of a user device, and that generates a search term prediction list including the one or more predicted search terms and is able to communicate with the user device to send the search term prediction list to the user device for viewing the search term prediction list. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
