Re: [agi] really cool
Regarding the Google voice search technology... Maybe no IP/phone number mapping whatsoever as the web page says that the system has very limited capacity. So the search results page could be shared among all users. I imagine that the Google service is aimed at cell phone users and that the (to be developed) cell phone client application would take care of associating the voice search message with the resulting text search answers. -Steve On Tue, 25 Feb 2003, Brad Wyble wrote: They are not mapping to IP addresses, probably geography as Ben suggests.

Re: [agi] really cool
Are you using an IP phone on your office network? Or a
DSL connection at home?
Those would be less general, and less cool, than Ben's
suggestion.

I suppose they match geographical
information about the IP address with caller ID info?

Those guys at Google sure are imaginative! I was
wowed by this application and I'm still not sure how they are doing
it. You call a number and say the search keywords you want to search
on...it then displays the results in your browser.
I have no idea how they are connecting my cell phone
number with *my* computer.
try it out..

EGHeflin Nice illustration, although that's a fairly simple one to guess. In this case, I can't imagine a simple FIFO would work because it can't scale. You are essentially proposing that as soon as any person in the entire world submits a voice request, everyone else in the world who's viewing that page gets their search results. It would work for a very small number of users, but beyond a certain number, your search results would only be available for hundreds of milliseconds if not less. If Google applied the FIFO to a rough geography mapping, they would cut the userbase into manageable chunks. Mapping IP address to phone exchanges isn't hard if you've got the data. Cell phones are tricky though, but then, it's possible that their network can reverse map to the cell network that handles your call, rather than the phone number itself. I'm willing to believe Google can get this information. Interesting idea...should be testable and in a number of ways. But keep in mind you want to be testing what Google is actually doing not what they might be able to do with this or that piece of information or technology. It seems to me that if both you and a friend can access nearly simultaneously the same results from a 'speak search', e.g. say AGI, then the server-side interpretation is proved. If you're happier with a client-side interpretation try the system for a land v. based cell call and compare results. etcI'm open to testing... ;-) Just my $0.02 worth.
