AWeb Search Method using User Operation on Digital Maps

We propose a method that analyzes users’ search intentions by using their operations in a digital map search and automatically displays appropriate Web information. Although map operations, such as panning and zooming, is a search technique where new screen information is acquired, the information acquired in map applications is restricted. Therefore, we developed a system that searches Web pages based on users operations in digital maps and offers additional information. In the system, search intentions are analyzed by the relationships between chunk, which divide operation sequences into meaningful pieces. Our system generated queries searches and retrieved Web pages that are displayed to users based on their intentions.
