from the very beginning android head search edit score with jellybeans we took a hard look at search and redesigned it from the ground up first a new UI second faster and more natural voice search and third a new feature we're calling Google now let's start with a new UI last month we introduced the knowledge graph in Google search the goal is for Google to understand that the words are used when you're searching are not just words but real things in the real world in jellybean we're using the power of the knowledge graph to show you search results in a new richer way for example if you want to know what movies Angelina Jolie has starred in we'll show you this card or if you ask how much the earth ways you'll see an answer like this if you're searching for the weather in New York will show you a card with the weekly forecast if you want to find a nearby starbucks will show you a card with a quick map of some stores close to you and a shortcut to take you to google maps now let's show you what we've done with voice search you know sometimes you'd rather just speak your search query or ask a question in jellybean voice search is much faster it's also better understanding natural language and it speaks answers back to you using the power of the knowledge graph let's go to the device and show you this life Randall why don't you show us a few more examples you can talk okay I'm gonna ask a few questions and Google will respond who is the prime minister of japan the Prime Minister of Japan is yoshihiko noda alright crush your boy we'll try another one what is the definition of robot robot a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically it's pretty appropriate okay try another how tall is the Space Needle space needle is 600 4 feet tall okay we'll give it one more try show me pictures of pygmy marmosets okay that's great now notice that if you go back to the results if you swipe away that card there's a wealth of additional information from the web on pygmy marmoset switch as I'm sure you know are the smallest monkeys in the world Google will always give you web search results for all of your questions thanks Randall let's go back to slides now the third part of the new Android search experience is called Google now today's smartphones are powerful they can do pretty much anything you ask search the web give you directions traffic info anything but smartphones are only as smart as you tell them to be they rely on you to do everything you have to enter a search query you have the type in a street address and you have to ask for traffic in a particular area but with google now that starts to change google now gets you just the right information at just the right time and all of it happens automatically so how do we do this if you choose to google now uses things like your search history your location history and your calendar to figure out what information you might need and win let's see a few examples on slides traffic google now figures out when you when you commute from home to work and back it will then tell you how long the commute on your usual route is going to be and it'll give you a faster route if there's a lot of traffic next public transit when you're near a bus stop or on a platform at a subway station Google now tells you when the next bus or train will arrive places Google now we'll show you bars restaurants and places of interest around you as you walk down the street and when you're in a restaurant trying to figure out what to order Google now will tell you what's what that restaurant is best known for next appointment when you have a calendar event Google now will help you get there on time for example if you normally take the bus to get around Google now will tell you when to leave based on how long it will take you to walk to the bus stop when the next bus arrives and how long that bus right we'll take so we get there on time twice if you have an upcoming flight that you've searched for google now keeps you up to date on the status it tells you which terminal to go to and it updates you if there's a delay all automatically sports Google now keeps you updated on your favorite sports teams in real time you'll see scores and upcoming games and the best part is you don't need to set up your favorite teams you've already done that by searching for them on google travel Google now knows when you're traveling and if you're traveling internationally Google now will give you interactive cards for currency conversion and translation it also conveniently tells you what time it is back home
