COLLABORATIVE SEARCH SESSIONS THROUGH AN AUTOMATED ASSISTANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202263 titled 'COLLABORATIVE SEARCH SESSIONS THROUGH AN AUTOMATED ASSISTANT
- Simplified Explanation:**
This patent application describes techniques for collaborative search sessions through an automated assistant. The method involves receiving a query from a first user, providing search results, determining relevance to a second user, allowing the second user to join the session, modifying search results based on input from the second user, and providing the modified results to both users.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Collaborative search sessions facilitated by an automated assistant - Ability for multiple users to join a search session - Modification of search results based on input from additional users
- Potential Applications:**
- Online research projects - Group decision-making processes - Collaborative information gathering
- Problems Solved:**
- Enhances collaboration in search activities - Improves search result relevance through multiple user inputs
- Benefits:**
- Increased efficiency in information retrieval - Enhanced user engagement and interaction - Improved search result accuracy through collective input
- Commercial Applications:**
- Market this technology to online research platforms - Offer it as a feature for search engines to enhance user experience
- Prior Art:**
Prior art related to collaborative search sessions and automated assistants can be found in research papers on human-computer interaction and information retrieval systems.
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Stay updated on advancements in artificial intelligence and natural language processing to enhance the capabilities of automated assistants in collaborative search sessions.
- Questions about Collaborative Search Sessions:**
1. How does this technology improve the search experience for users? 2. What are the potential privacy implications of multiple users collaborating in a search session?
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are described herein for collaborative search sessions through an automated assistant. a method includes: receiving, from a first user of a first client device, a first query in a query session; providing, to the first user, a first set of search results; determining, based on at least one term in the first query, that the first query is relevant to a second user of the first client device; providing, to the second user, a selectable option to join the query session; in response to receiving, from the second user, an indication of acceptance of the selectable option, adding the second user to the query session; receiving, from the second user, additional input; generating, based on the additional input received from the second user, a modified set of search results; and providing, to the first user and the second user, the modified set of search results.
