Abstract

The more things can be saved and done with mobile phones, the more it becomes difficult to find what you are looking for. It was easy when one just saved phone numbers with names of friends, but as the devices have become more resourceful, their usage has expanded enormously. Today's mobile phones are comparable in compute capability and storage to the desktop computers of a decade ago. Consequently, searching and reaching the desired content on a mobile phone has been become an important function. Users and businesses are more dependent on mobile devices than ever before. Managing information scattered across multiple devices is becoming a big problem. We present a system for efficiently and conveniently searching through personal information stored on multiple mobile devices.
