METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING CROSS-APPLICATION SEARCHING AND RETRIEVAL OF CONTENT USING A CONTEXTUAL USER MODEL

摘要

A method, apparatus, and system for facilitating cross-application searching and retrieval of computer-stored content using a contextual user model includes using passive and/or active interaction data to formulate a user-specific search query. In some embodiments, inferences relating to the user's current interaction context may be used to automatically retrieve relevant information for the user.
