Google has officially launched Google Squared on Wednesday, we already gave a glimpse of Google Square in our previous post. Google Squared is an advanced application based on google search that provide search results in form of a spreadsheet like grid called Google Square. Most of us do a comparative study of the products/services we are searching for. First people search for data then organise the information somewhere mostly in spreadsheet like format and then go ahead with the number crunching.
Google has altogether compressed the process into just entering a good search query. Suppose somebody want to purchase a Mobile Phone, what most of folks will do is search for couple of Mobiles them compare their features and then find a seller offering best deal. One can spend 3-4 hours easily to grab all this information. Google Square take care of all this in the blink of an eye ,it searches the web and organises the information in form of a spreadsheet based on various attributes. A search for a Mobile Phone in Google Square will give results in a spreadsheet format with columns like Name,Image,model,description etc cutting the search and information organisation time exponentially. Google Square also has the functionality to add and remove columns enabling users to fetch the information they need. Google also tries to increase the intelligence based on the columns you selected fetching better results on the basis of selection.

This application opens up huge array of possibilities. A normal user can take care of tasks like comparative study of products,prices,offers very easily. Wolfram was launched couple of days back and it gained lot of limelight for its data processing capabilities but Wolfram is not even near to Google as Wolfram is working with less than 10 terabytes of data as of now leading to most of the queries going in vein . While nobody can even imagine how much data is lying in Google data centres (Obviously much more than Wolfram 10 TB) , one can easily imagine what Google can do with its increasing information crunching capabilities.
Google Square is just the beginning of the information era.
Google Squared appears to be similar to my patent application:
Frankly, I am getting a Déjà vu effect while going through the “Google Squared” application because it appears to be very similar in function to my United States patent application which was filed on April 12, 2007 and as publicly disclosed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on October 16, 2008, when the patent application was published.
My patent application is titled as “Method And System For Research Using Computer Based Simultaneous Comparison And Contrasting Of A Multiplicity Of Subjects Having Specific Attributes Within Specific Contexts” bearing Document Number “20080256023” and Inventor name “Nair Satheesh” which may be viewed at http://patft.uspto.gov/ upon Patent Applications: Quick Search.
Google Squared appears to be using at least some if not many of the same methods and systems as set forth by me more than two years ago in my patent application. In fact there are many more methods and systems disclosed in my patent application which I believe will help resolve certain inaccuracies found in current Google Squared application.
I have issued legal notices to Google through my Patent Attorney in the US but Google has not responded yet to any of my notices.
