In one embodiment, applications installed on a mobile device may be identified. Historical data pertaining to use of the applications installed on the mobile device may be obtained. A context of the mobile device may be ascertained. Locations in which a plurality of icons representing a plurality of items are to be presented within a homescreen of the mobile device may be determined based, at least in part, on the context of the mobile device and the historical data, where the plurality of items include the applications installed on the mobile device. The homescreen of the mobile device may be updated according to the determined locations, wherein updating the homescreen of the mobile device includes providing at least a portion of the plurality of icons for display within the homescreen of the mobile device such that the homescreen of the mobile device displays the plurality of icons representing the plurality of items at the determined locations.

Method to automatically update a homescreen

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for receiving by one or more servers, from a client device, a context of the client device. The servers may obtain, from a plurality of user interface object providers, a plurality of user interface objects. The servers may select and rank a set of the plurality of user interface objects based, at least in part, on the context of the client device. The servers may transmit the set of the plurality of user interface objects or information associated therewith to the client device according to the ranking of the set of user interface objects.

A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating sponsored verbs and contexts. The system includes interface circuitry for receiving a search query from a user device and query processing circuitry for identifying search results comprising entity search result objects and non-entity search result objects related to the search query. Targeting circuitry determines a set of verb keywords associated with the search result objects and analytics circuitry selects one or more sponsored verbs for at least one entity or non-entity search result. Display logic circuitry is communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and dynamically generates interface elements for each of the one or more sponsored verbs, and displays, in response to the search query, the interface elements as a sub-component of the at least one entity or non-entity search result.

Systems and methods for advertising using sponsored verbs and contexts

A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity and non-entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around.

Modular search object framework

A method and apparatus for providing search results based at least in part on uncertainty.

Location uncertainty in search

A modular search object framework provides modular search results including entity search results reflecting the intent of a searcher. Also, an interface (such as a graphical user interface provided by the framework), aids in organizing results (such as links, titles, and description) according to the intent of the user as manifest in the search query and interactions with the interface. Circuitry of the framework also predicts user intent from historical information corresponding to the searcher (or to a group with which the searcher is associated).
