What is data and information? How is the trend changing to search for information?
Web-data is growing at the rate of 10^9 GB per year. Meaningful
data is information. We need information and not data. So, in other words all
the data that is available may not be meaningful for the user. It may or may not
related to the user’s query. When any user tries to search for any information
multiple sources are available which can fetch the results for the requested
query. Furthermore, there may be multiple results displayed by a single source.
The multiple results displayed are more or less similar. This adds up to the
confusion. It becomes very difficult to choose the best option from the
available choices then.
This is where Anti- search auto recommendation comes into
picture.
Many a times, the queries remain the same. For example:
Nearest Restaurant or nearest pub if it’s a weekend. So wouldn’t it be
convenient if a user gets to know the results as and when he/she comes in the
vicinity of such places through some kind of notification on mobile device? Well,
how comfortable would it be for the user if there are certain reviews also
available about the restaurant so that selection of which restaurant to visit
becomes easier.
This can avoid the
confusion of searching to a great extent. It will save the efforts and time as well.
“TOMO eyx” is an anti-search auto recommendation application
built on Android and iOS platforms. It matches the user’s tastes and
preferences, updates itself, as the user moves from one location to other gives out notifications accordingly.
There are various categories for which
user can decide the preferences.
To name a few:
Elections 2014: To get to
know the any political rally or event happening nearby
Emergency Services: It’s
a normal human tendency to panic and forget the important numbers in case of
emergencies. For example: Nearby hospitals, Pharmacy centres or police stations
Exhibition, Crafts, Arts:
To get to know the paintings or home décor exhibitions nearby
Food and Beverages:
Depending on the preference, user is notified about the restaurants or cafes
nearby. For example: Andhra, Bengali or Punjabi, Chaat and Paani-Puri
Mobiles and Electronics:
Often we need mobile/laptop repairing centres or mobile shop for buying a new
mobile.
Shopping and Sale:
Women’s area of search mostly. Can get to know about the shopping centres
related to handbags, accessories, cosmetics, jewellery in the nearby places.
Also notifications of the sale if any are given to the user.
