Abstract
Information may be presented to a user by using a first application to receive a character stream of one or more noncompletion characters. The noncompletion characters indicate that additional characters may be received. The character stream is exchanged with a host that analyzes the character stream to generate results that are responsive to the user's predicted interest. Results are received and displayed so that the user may select one of the results to launch a code segment related to the selected result.
Claims42
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a client device, a character stream of non-completion characters input by a user;
- sending, over a wide area network, the character stream to a host server prior to input of a completion character by the user;
- receiving, from the host server, one or more map results relating to at least a portion of the character stream;
- and
- displaying, at the client device, the one or more map results prior to input of a completion character by the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform steps comprising:
- receiving, at a client device, a character stream of non-completion characters input by a user;
- sending, over a wide area network, the character stream to a host server prior to input of a completion character by the user;
- receiving, from the host server, one or more map results relating to at least a portion of the character stream;
- and
- displaying, at the client device, the one or more map results prior to input of a completion character by the user.
A method comprising:
- receiving, over a wide area network and at a host server, a character stream of non-completion characters input by a user at a client device;
- generating, using at least one processor, one or more map results relating to at least a portion of the character stream;
- and
- sending, by the host server, the one or more map results to the client device prior to receipt of a completion character input by the user at the client device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform steps comprising:
- receiving, over a wide area network and at a host server, a character stream of non-completion characters input by a user at a client device;
- generating one or more map results relating to at least a portion of the character stream;
- and
- sending, by the host server, the one or more map results to the client device prior to receipt of a completion character input by the user at the client device.
