A computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes receiving on a mobile device a search query associated with a geographic location, providing one or more search results in response to the search query, the search results each being associated with a geographic location, and presenting on a graphical display of the computing device icons corresponding to each search result and also corresponding to a key on the computing device.

Systems and methods are disclosed for incorporating user content within a communication session interface. In one implementation, a processing device receives, in relation to a communication session between a first user and a second user, a communication input associated with a first user. The processing device processes the communication input to identify one or more content items stored on a content sharing platform that are associated with the first user and that pertain to one or more aspects of the communication input. The processing device modifies one or more aspects of an interface of the communication session based on the one or more content items.

Receiving a search query that does not include one or more words that name any geographical location

In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods systems, and program products for determining a change in a mode of transportation. A change in a mode of transportation of the mobile computing device may be determined by determining that a speed of the mobile computing device has changed. A first geographical location is stored as a geographical location of the mobile computing device that corresponds to the change in mode of transportation. A graphical indication of the first geographical location is displayed. The graphical indication of the first geographical location is different than graphical indications for one or more other geographical locations of the mobile computing device at one or more other times. The one or more other geographical locations were not determined to correspond to a change in mode of transportation.

Determining a geographical location

Location-specific content is automatically generated for a particular entity having a plurality of physical locations. Database entries that contain identifying data associated with the particular entity are searched for to obtain location information of each of the plurality of physical locations. The location information, in correlation with one or more keywords associated with the particular entity, is stored in a computer-readable electronic database such that a user-generated query that includes at least one of the keywords and a search location causes a processor to execute operations that initiates a search of the computer-readable electronic database for the location information of the physical locations that are in proximity to the search location. At least one result that is displayable to the user is provided.

Method for generating location targeted, keyword-triggered, ads and generating user recallable layer-based ads

The present application discloses systems and methods for accessing digital content between multiple devices. The systems and methods may be directed to providing access to an interaction with a first application on a head-mounted display (HMD) to a second device. Contextual information relating information of the HMD and information associated with the interaction to describe an interaction state may be stored. A second device may be selected upon which the interaction state may be accessed and a determination of attributes of the second device may be made. The HMD may transfer to the second device the stored contextual information such that the second device may provide via the second application access to the interaction state. Information associated with a user input to the first application may also be transferred. In one example, the contextual information may describe an identified occurrence of digital content accessed via the first application.

Distracting clutter in ads may be reduced, while at the same time permitting various different ways for advertisement audience members to interact with and use ads. This may be done by (a) accepting telephone number information associated with an advertisement, (b) accepting a URL segment, (c) generating a new URL including the URL segment and the telephone number information, and (d) associating the new URL with the advertisement. The new URL might define a location of a document including marketing information, or a location of a document for facilitating on-line commerce. The telephone number information might be a telephone number or extension for a device or facility supporting telephone purchase orders. The ad, including the new URL, may be printed on an offline property.

Providing a locator, such as a URL, for tracking multiple types of user-advertisement actions

In general, the subject matter described in this disclosure can be embodied in methods, systems and program products. A computing device receives user input that submits a search query. The computing device provides, by way of a search engine server system, the search query. The computing device receives, from the search engine server system, information that identifies search results that the search engine server system has determined are responsive to the search query. The computing device presents, in a first view of a search results page that is provided on a screen of the computing device in response to receiving the information identifying the search results, a portion of the search results page that includes a list of the search results, the search results page having been pre-scrolled to the portion of the search results page.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for interfacing with a wearable heads-up display via a finger-operable input device. The wearable heads-up display may include a display element for receiving and displaying display information received from a processor, and may also include a wearable frame structure supporting the display element and having a projection extending away from the display element. The projection may be configured to secure the heads-up display to a user's body in a manner such that the display element is disposed within a field of view of the user. A finger-operable input device secured to the wearable frame structure is configured to sense at least one of a position and movement of a finger along a planar direction relative to a surface of the input device, and to provide corresponding input information to the processor.
