GATHERING SEARCH QUERIES FROM EXTERNAL DEVICES FOR COLLABORATIVE SEARCHING

摘要

A system for receiving search queries from more than one remote device and performing collaborative searching is provided. The system includes more than one remote mobile device connected to a computer. Each remote mobile device generates search data that includes user data that comprises a user profile and search behavior. The remote devices generate search queries that are simultaneously received by the computer, which also receives the user data. The computer parses the search queries and user data for determining commonalities and then performs a search representative of at least one common search query. The computer then provides the search results to a user, where the search results comprise a listing of results representative of the common search query.
