Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing a user interface are disclosed. In one example, a plurality of candidate user interfaces is determined. Each candidate user interface is associated with one or more parameters related to a user interface. Each of the plurality of candidate user interfaces is provided to a subset of users selected from the plurality of users. Inputs are obtained from the plurality of users with respect to each of the plurality of candidate user interfaces. One or more candidate user interfaces are selected from the plurality of candidate user interfaces based on the inputs. A new candidate user interface is generated based on the selected one or more candidate user interfaces. A user interface is identified based on the new candidate user interface and the selected one or more candidate user interfaces. The identified user interface is provided to the plurality of users.

Abstract: A method and/or technique for geolocation safety awareness is provided herein. When a user, having a client device, travels to a location, threats associated with that location may not be known to the user. To determine a safety of the location, the location of a client device may be determined. A search for safety information about the location may be performed, and a threat level may be determined based upon the safety information. When the threat level exceeds a threat threshold, a security operation may be performed. The security operation may comprise presenting a warning notice to the user and/or activating a security timer.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for assisting a user of a portable computing device with a touch screen display in formulating a search engine search query. The techniques may assist the user in a more efficient funnel querying approach when compared to conventional funnel querying approaches. In particular, with the techniques, the user can add one or more additional keywords to an initial search query without having to enter the individual letters of the additional keywords. As a result, the techniques enable the user to find relevant search results with less tedium and frustration compared to conventional funnel querying approaches, thereby increasing user satisfaction with the search engine.

Abstract: As provided herein, a list of locales of interest in a location may be sorted into one or more categories. A user performing a search for a locale of interest (e.g., a restaurant) may be identified. A local score may be assigned to the locale of interest based upon a number of local users (e.g., users residing in the location) that perform the search. A second user may be determined to be near the locale of interest. A category of interest may be determined for the second user (e.g., an interest in local non-tourist restaurants). Responsive to the category of interest corresponding to the category and the local score of the locale of interest exceeding an interest threshold, the second user may be provided with a recommendation to go to the locale of interest. The locale of interest may be a local favorite restaurant rather than a tourist trap.

Abstract translation: 如本文所提供的，可以将位置中感兴趣的区域的列表分类为一个或多个类别。 可以识别执行感兴趣的区域（例如，餐馆）的搜索的用户。 可以基于执行搜索的本地用户（例如驻留在该位置的用户）的数量来将本地分数分配给感兴趣的区域。 可以确定第二用户靠近感兴趣的区域。 可以针对第二用户确定兴趣类别（例如，对当地非旅游餐馆的兴趣）。 响应于类别的兴趣类别和超过利益阈值的感兴趣的语言环境的本地分数，可以向第二用户提供去感兴趣的区域的建议。 感兴趣的地区可能是当地最喜欢的餐馆，而不是旅游陷阱。
