Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment As best seen in Figure 1, of the drawings, a wireless searching method for use through Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The wireless searching method comprises the following steps. (1) Submit a query by a user of a mobile terminal to a search engine through a wireless telecommunication network.
(2) Match at least a query history stored in a user preference file with the query.
(3) Select the query history to retrieve information of the query history to the mobile terminal. According to the preferred embodiment, the wireless searching method is preformed through a wireless searching system comprising a wireless telecommunication network adapted for wirelessly communicating with at least one mobile terminal and a search engine.
The search engine is linked with the wireless telecommunication network, and adapted for receiving the query by the user from the mobile terminal, wherein the search engine contains at least a user preference file having at least a query history stored therein, in which the search engine is activated to retrieve the user preference file for matching the query history with the query to retrieve information of the query history at the mobile terminal. In step (1) above, the mobile terminal is preferably embodied as a PDA or a regular cellular phone having a display provided thereon in which the user is able to observe the display for acquiring information and monitoring the operation of the cellular phone or the PDA.
The mobile terminal, such as the cellular phone, is communicatively covered by a telecommunication network provided by a predetermined telecommunication network provider, such as vCingular' or VAT&T in Southern California, and subscribed by the user of the present invention.
In order to access the user preference file in the search engine, before the step (1), the search engine must recognize the corresponding user through the telecommunication network. Accordingly, the user preference file is accessed by the telephone number, SIM
card number, or account number of the user of the mobile terminal. In other words, the user preference file is linked to the telephone number, SIM card number, or account number of the user of the mobile terminal once the mobile terminal is switched on.
The query is preferably embodied as a form of a search request which is to be inputted through a control panel provided at the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal then transmits the query to the search engine via the telecommunication network.
The step (2) above further comprises a sub-step (2.1) of storing the query to be the query history in the user preference file when the query does not match the query history in the user preference file.
The user preference file is developed in the search engine for storing query history and the personal particulars of the user of the present invention. In particular, the search engine is arranged to link to the telecommunication network provider such that the respective subscription information to the telecommunication network by the user is capable of sharing with the search engine to constitute the user preference file.
According to the preferred embodiment, the subscription information may include the user's address, postal code, name, age group, occupation ... etc so that such information is shared to the user preference file and when subsequent quires related to these information are made, such as query to weather and traffic conditions, the corresponding information with respect to the geographic area in which the user is living can be sent to the user without needing any clarification as to, say, which geographic area the user is looking for. Of course, when the user indeed wants to make a query as to the information of a place which is not recorded in the user preference file, the user always can make such a fresh query regardless of the user preference file.
In other words, the user preference file is not utilized to dictate or limit what information a user may search, instead, it helps in providing the optimal information to the user in light the user's unique information and query history.
Moreover, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawings, the information stored in the user preference file may also contain information about the previously searched or accessed websites' addresses. For instances, the previously websites' addresses are stored in the user preference file in such a manner that during subsequent queries, an alphabet may invoke a list of website's addresses generated by the user preference file wherein the website addresses in the list are all starting from that alphabet. In other words, the user, who wants to make a query about a website having an address starting with that alphabet,
no longer needs to retype the full address. Instead, the user may choose the intended website from the list generated by the user preference file.
The wireless searching system further comprises a telecommunication center provided at the telecommunication network which is linked to the search engine, wherein the subscription information of the user submitted to the telecommunication network is shared with the search engine for constituting the user preference file.
Furthermore, in step (2) above, the matching process may be performed on the basis of keywords matching, instead of the actual website addresses. For example, the user may in a pervious query make a search of newspapers' as the keyword, and chose to access a particular newspaper website, then, in subsequent quires about newspapers, that particular newspaper's website is readily available for selection.
The step (3) above further comprises the following steps.
(3.1) Display a list of query history stored in the user preference file at the mobile terminal with respect to the query submitted by the user.
(3.2) Select the particular query history to be accessed by the user making the query.
(3.3) Access the info nation corresponding to the query history selected by the user.
Referring to Fig. 4 of the drawings, the wireless searching method further comprises a step (4) of recording website information as a query history in the search engine as requested by the user. Thus, in the future, when the user wants to go back to the website, he/she may just retrieve recorded query history without performing any fresh query again.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (3.2), the list of query history may take the form of a list of keywords which are utilized for querying the particular information, or alternatively, it can be a list of website addresses, URLs, and other websites identification parameters.
Moreover, as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings, the list of possible query history may be presented in the form of a query history webpage which can readily be accessible by the user of the search engine through the telecommunication network and his/her cellular phone.
In relation to the query history webpage, before the step (3), the wireless searching method further comprises a step of updating information with respect to the websites recorded in the query history.
Very often, websites parameters, such as a website address, are changed due to administrative constraint. In such cases, the website information with respect to the changed website will be outdated, leaving the user being unable to re-locate or re-access the previously accessed but subsequently changed website. The updating step therefore caters for this discrepancy.
In addition, referring to Fig. 6 of the drawings, the wireless searching method further comprises a step (5) of analyzing the query history of the user to match the query history in the user preference file which is nearest possible to the query when the query is uncertain and vague. Accordingly, the wireless searching system further comprises a query history analyzer installed into the search engine and arranged in such a manner that when the query is uncertain and vague, the matching process is adapted to locate the nearest possible information in the user preference file. For example, when a particular query cannot match exactly with the information stored in the user preference file, and information available in the Internet, the wireless searching method will, based on the query history on the user, match with the nearest possible query history in the user preference file.
Accordingly, the step (5) may be processed between the step (2) and the step (3) so that any vagueness and uncertainty in the query history could be addressed in such a manner that the nearest possible information are found for the user's reference. According to the preferred embodiment, the analyzing process may be carried out by typical statistical approaches, such as the frequency of making a particular query history, taking into account the age group, gender, or the education background of the user. It is worth mentioning that the wireless searching method disclosed above is adapted to be utilized for a wide variety of operation systems, so that the compatibility with respect to different operation systems can be maximized.
According to the preferred embodiment, the website information which is to be recoded as the query history may include the website address, Uniform Resource Location (URL) of that particular website, or even a hyperlink of another website.
Referring to Fig. 7 of the drawings, the step (3) further comprises a step (3.4) of sending out the information of a search result with respect to the query to the user through email so that more extensive information could be given to the user without immediately occupying the mobile terminal's capacity storage of information.
Alternative, as shown in Fig. 8 of the drawings, step (3.4) can be altered as a step (3.4') of sending out the information of a search result with respect to the query to the user through Short Message Service (SMS) so that for each particular query, the user doesn't need to wait until he/she gets the result. Therefore, the user can be able to perform another query while searching is still being performed. The result for the first search is sent to the user through SMS when it is available. Thus, the time required for continuous queries can be minimized.
In other words, after a particular query history is found in the user preference file, the result can be sent directly to the mobile terminal. Or alternatively, the result could be sent to the user through email or SMS, so that greater amount of information may be sent through the wireless searching system without occupying too much memory space of the mobile terminal.
It is worth to mention that the searching system of the search engine is organized to output the search result in a particular format that is adapted for all kinds of applications, such as Java application, BREW application, WAP application, SMS application, or email application, to be retrieved, as shown in Fig. 9. One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.
It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. It embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
