Google Phone Patent : Predicting Your Phone Calls

March 9th, 2007 by Loren Baker, Editor | 2 Comments

Mad4MobilePhones looks at a patent filed by Google which includes predicting phone calls and actions based upon time and location and may be part of the upcoming Google Phone project.

The patent, Nonstandard locality-based text entry, was filed in 2005.


This patent is truly groundbreaking in what the application could do. Imagine that you are planning a night out in London.

  • At 6pm Google could predict you are looking for a restaurant and, given your history of looking for directions to Chinese restaurants every week, would select an array of suitable places for you to eat.
  • At 9pm you would turn your phone on again and Google would know you wanted bars near the restaurant.
  • At 11pm Google again predicts you need a list of local taxi firms.
