Predictive information retrieval
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating results for a client-requested query, comprising:
- receiving a query produced by a client communication device;
generating a result for the query in response to reception of the query;
determining one or more predictive follow-up requests before receiving an actual follow-up request from the client device, and initiating retrieval of information associated with the one or more predictive follow-up requests; and
transmitting at least part of the result to the client device, and then transmitting to the client device at least part of the information associated with the one or more predictive follow-up requests.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating results for a client-requested query involves receiving a query produced by a client communication device, generating a result for the query in response to reception of the query, determining one or more predictive follow-up requests before receiving an actual follow-up request from the client device, and initiating retrieval of information associated with the one or more predictive follow-up requests, and transmitting at least part of the result to the client device, and then transmitting to the client device at least part of the information associated with the one or more predictive follow-up requests.

12. A computer-implemented data collection and distribution system, comprising:
-
a request processor to receive data requests from one or more remote clients;
a response generator to identify and present information responsive to the data requests;
a request predicting module to determine one or more predictive follow-up requests representative of likely requests to be made subsequently by a user of the remote client; and
an interface to provide the information responsive to the data requests and information responsive to the one or more predictive follow-up requests without the need for an actual follow-up request. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
