Embodiment Construction

[0021] Described herein are various techniques that may be implemented to provide or otherwise identify mobile device applications that may be useful to a device and / or its user, for example, for a particular context in which mobile may be useful.

[0022] As described in more detail herein, in certain example implementations, a computing device may apply a context-aware filter to a plurality of mobile device applications to identify a list of applications available to the mobile device for a particular context. Several non-limiting example techniques for obtaining context-aware filters are provided herein. For example, in some cases, a context-aware filter may be based at least in part on usage history associated with multiple mobile devices and / or other devices, such as with respect to perceived usefulness of a particular application for a particular environment. In some cases, an example context-aware filter may be based at least in part on a location profile corresponding ...

Abstract

Various methods, apparatuses, devices, and articles of manufacture are provided for use by one or more electronic devices to provide or otherwise identify applications for potential use by a mobile device with respect to a particular environment. For example, a computing device may apply a context-aware filter to identify a list of applications for potential use by a mobile device; and, in response to a first event proffer one or more applications for use by the mobile device; and, in response to a second event withdraw the application for use by the mobile device. In another example,a mobile device may, in response to a first indication that an application has been proffered for use, initiate activation of the application; and, in response to a second indication that the application has been withdrawn for use, initiate deactivation of the application.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This is a PCT application claiming priority to U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 927,021, filed June 25, 2013, and entitled "METHODANDAPPARATUSFORUSEINPROVIDINGCONTEXT-AWAREIDENTIFICATIONOFMOBILEDEVICEAPPLICATIONS," which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety middle. technical field [0003] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to electronic devices, and more particularly to methods, apparatuses, and articles of manufacture for use by one or more electronic devices to provide or otherwise identify mobile device applications available to a mobile device for a particular environment. Background technique [0004] As its name implies, a mobile device can be moved around, such as typically carried by a user and / or possibly a machine. By way of some non-limiting examples, mobile devices may take the form of cellular telephones, smartphones, tablet computers, laptop computers, wearable computers, naviga...
