Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a parameterless search request for information that is currently relevant to a user of a mobile computing device, the parameterless search request being received based on user input that indicates a request for the information that is currently relevant to the user without the user specifying parameters for identifying the information; in response to receiving the parameterless search request, determining, for the mobile computing device, a current context that includes information identifying one or more future activities of the user determined to have at least a threshold likelihood of occurring at one or more future times; identifying one or more result categories that are likely to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device based upon the current context of the mobile computing device, the one or more result categories defining one or more categories of information from which results for the parameterless search request are identified; identifying with a digital computer system one or more results determined to be relevant to the user of the mobile computing device based upon the current context of the mobile computing device, wherein the one or more identified results are associated with the identified one or more result categories; and providing the one or more results for display to the user of the mobile computing device.
