Automatic dialing
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for automatic telephone calling, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, a query from a computing device that is remote from the computing system;
determining, by the computing system, whether the query is for causing the remote computing device to call a telephone number automatically;
providing, by the computing system, the query to a particular search engine system;
receiving, by the computing system and from the particular search engine system, one or more search results that are responsive to the received query; and
providing, by the computing system and to the remote computing device, a particular telephone number that corresponds to a most-prominently ranked of the one or more search results from the particular search engine system, so as to cause the remote computing device to call the particular telephone number automatically without the remote computing device having received user input subsequent to the remote computing device transmitting the query to the computing system.

Abstract
In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for providing search results automatically to a user of a computing device. A spoken input provided by a user to a computing device is received. The spoken input is transmitted to a computer server system that is remote from the computing device. Search result information that is responsive to the spoken input is receiving by the computing device and in response to the transmitted spoken input. An alert is provided to the user that the device will connect the user to a target of the search result information if the user does not intervene to stop the connecting of the user. The user is connected to the target of the search result information based on a determination that the user has not intervened to stop the connecting of the user.

10. A computer-implemented method for automatic telephone calling, the method comprising:
-
providing, by a computing device and to a computing system that is remote from the computing device, a query so as to cause a search engine system to identify one or more search results that are responsive to the received query; receiving, by the computing device and in response to providing the query to the computing system, a telephone number that corresponds to a most-prominently ranked of the one or more search results; and in response to receiving the telephone number, automatically calling, by the computing device, the telephone number without the computing device having received user input subsequent to providing the query. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable devices including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of operations that comprise:
-
providing, by a computing device and to a computing system that is remote from the computing device, a query so as to cause a search engine system to identify one or more search results that are responsive to the received query; receiving, by the computing device and in response to providing the query to the computing system, a telephone number that corresponds to a most-prominently ranked of the one or more search results; and in response to receiving the telephone number, automatically calling, by the computing device, the telephone number without the computing device having received user input subsequent to providing the query. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
