Predictively Presenting Search Capabilities - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111805 titled 'Predictively Presenting Search Capabilities

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a technique for obtaining search types associated with a geographic location of a computing device, such as a mobile device.

  • The technique involves determining the geographic location of the mobile device.
  • The technique then obtains one or more search types associated with that location.
  • Once the search types are obtained, the technique outputs a graphical user interface on the mobile device displaying at least an indication of the search types.
