Abstract:

Techniques for automatically generating and displaying topic-focused summaries for search results are disclosed. Users can “peek” inside a search result to see document excerpts that pertain specifically to a user-selected topic. Thus, a user can view the aspects of a document that are most interesting prior to deciding whether to retrieve the complete document. For each search result, a user can select from among several different available summaries, each of which focuses on a different topic of the document to which that search result refers. According to one aspect, key concepts are automatically identified in a document. For each such key concept, contextual snippets that pertain to that key concept are automatically selected. The key concepts are displayed to the user at search time. A summary that contains the contextual snippets that pertain to a user-selected key concept is displayed in response to the user's selection of that key concept.

Abstract:

A method includes collecting roaming connectivity information for a plurality of wide area networks from a plurality of mobile devices, independently of the wide area networks, receiving the roaming connectivity information at a server and relating the connectivity information to the wide area networks and to a plurality of geographic locations to create a roaming network connectivity information database, generating a list of candidate wide area networks to serve as roaming networks for a specific mobile device and a given location based on the roaming connectivity information, and sending a preferred roaming list to the specific mobile device, the preferred roaming list including the list of candidate wide area networks. The method may include receiving location prediction information from the mobile device, and generating the list of candidate wide area networks based on a predicted location.
