Abstract: A method and systems for pursuing a potential value-added tax (VAT) reclaim through a mobile device. The method comprises receiving at least one image of a VAT receipt from the mobile device; identifying a geographic location of the mobile device; determining whether the mobile device is or was in a foreign country at the time the image was produced; analyzing, by an optical character recognition processor, the at least one image of the VAT receipt; determining whether the VAT receipt is eligible for a VAT refund based on at least one VAT reclaim rule, wherein the at least one VAT reclaim rule determines eligibility based on at least a country of residence of a user of the mobile device, the geographic location of the mobile device, and the analysis of the at least one image; and upon determining that the VAT receipt is eligible for the VAT refund, generating a reclaim request.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for searching data and grouping search results into clusters that are ordered according to search relevance. Each cluster comprises one or more data type, such as images, web pages, local information, news, advertisements, and the like. In one embodiment, a search term is evaluated for related concepts indicating categories of data sources to search. Data sources may also be identified by context information such as a location of a client device, a currently running application, and the like. Search results in each cluster are ordered by relevance and each cluster is given a score based on an aggregate of the relevance within the cluster. Each cluster score may be modified based on one or more corresponding concepts and/or context information. The clusters are ordered based on the modified scores. Content, including advertisements, may also be added to the ordered list to appear as another cluster.

Abstract: A software control mechanism is disclosed for use with a plurality of media applications. The software control mechanism comprises a media control panel structured for use with a plurality of media applications. The media control panel is independent of each media application. Each media application is displayed within a computer screen. The software control mechanism is structured to control a function of a presently interfaced media application on the display screen. Further, as the presently interfaced media application changes on the display screen, the media control panel for that media application is displayed along a same boundary of the computer screen.

Abstract: A system and method are directed towards refining mobile device search results using location modifiers. Information about a mobile device user may be collected, including a current location, a default location, information from address books, or other social networking information. The user may input a search query that is parsed into a primary search term and possibly a location modifier. The location modifier may modify the search for the primary search term by refining a physical location over which the search is performed. Location modifiers may include user-specific location modifiers that may employ social networking information to refine the search query, or a location sub-string modifier that refines the search query by employing a hierarchy of location data and/or social networking information. In one embodiment, where no location modifier is included within the search query, a current, or default, location of the mobile device may be employed.

Abstract translation: 系统和方法旨在使用位置修改器来优化移动设备搜索结果。 可以收集关于移动设备用户的信息，包括当前位置，默认位置，来自地址簿的信息或其他社交网络信息。 用户可以将分析的搜索查询输入到主要搜索词和可能的位置修饰符中。 位置修改器可以通过改进执行搜索的物理位置来修改对主要搜索项的搜索。 位置修改器可以包括可以使用社交网络信息来细化搜索查询的用户特定位置修饰符，或者通过采用位置数据和/或社交网络信息的层次来优化搜索查询的位置子字符串修饰符。 在一个实施例中，在搜索查询内没有包括位置修饰符的情况下，可以采用移动设备的当前或默认位置。
