Embodiment Construction

[0012] Referring to the figures, embodiments of the present disclosure select and provide contextual information to the user 102 based on relevance to the user 102 at a given time and at a particular location. In some embodiments, context engine 202 collects information such as communication and activity history, device usage patterns, preferences of user 102, and information such as time of day, current location, nearby people, and social networking feeds. external factors to select and provide relevant contextual information. Relevant contextual information may include content and / or suggestions for activities.

[0013] refer again figure 1 , an exemplary block diagram illustrating the computing device 104 executing components to provide relevant contextual items to the user 102 at a selected time. exist figure 1 In the example of , computing device 104 is associated with user 102 . Computing device 104 represents any device that executes instructions (eg, application pr...

Abstract

Selecting and providing context information relevant to a user at a particular time and location. Input parameters such as a location and time are selected. Context information is obtained for the selected location and time based on the input parameters. Exemplary input parameters include a user activity history, user content such as calendar appointments, social networking data, and a state of a computing device of the user (e.g., as collected by sensors of the computing device). The computing device of the user presents the obtained context information to the user at the selected location and time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to providing information to users based on context. Background technique [0002] A typical user receives a large amount of information, such as messages, contact information, and calendar appointments, from multiple services including email accounts, social networking feeds, instant messaging services, Short Message Service (SMS) messages, phone calls, and the like. With existing systems, it is difficult for a user to efficiently view information, especially when the information is presented to the user on a device with a small form factor, such as a mobile phone or netbook. Existing systems employ little or no prioritization or consideration of user preferences when presenting such material. [0003] Some existing systems attempt to organize information based on rough categories, such as when the user is driving, at work, or at home. For example, meeting reminders can be suppressed when the user is at home. However, e...
