Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention, a method and a system are described for automatically generating an implicit search query from a mobile communication facility based on at least one parameter, and delivering relevant mobile content to the mobile communication facility, wherein the relevance may be based at least in part on information relating to the mobile communication facility.

Claims

1. A method of generating an implicit mobile search comprising:

automatically generating a search query from a mobile communication facility based at least on one parameter;

delivering relevant mobile content to mobile communication facility wherein the relevance is based at least in part information relating to a mobile communication facility.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatic generation of the search query is an implicit search.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the implicit search query requires no user manipulation of a mobile communication facility command.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the automatic generation of the search query is accomplished by a server.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the parameter is information relating to the mobile communication facility.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user characteristic.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user history.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user transaction.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a geographic location.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is geographic proximity.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user device.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a time.

18. The method of claim 9, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a mobile communication facility characteristic.

23. The method of claim 1, wherein the relevant mobile content is information locally cached on a mobile communication facility.

25. The method of claim 23, wherein the locally cached information is associated with an expiration.

28. The method of claim 1, wherein the relevance is a ranking by a statistical association.

29. The method of claim 28, wherein the statistical association relates to an association between the mobile content and the information relating to a mobile communication facility.

43. The method of claim 1, wherein the relevance is a score.

45. The method of claim 1, wherein the parameter is a location.
