Embodiment Construction

[0019]Current mobile devices can have many applications stored on its solid state drive. In some cases, mobile devices can have hundreds of applications stored on its solid state drive. When a user wants to run an application on his mobile device, he or she must unlock the device, search through all of the applications in the device to identify the desired application, and then initiate execution of the application. Going through the process of finding the desired application can be excessively time consuming and redundant, especially for applications that are repeatedly used more often than others.

[0020]A user could pre-program a device to automatically perform a specified action of a predetermined application when a particular condition is satisfied (e.g., a triggering event occurs). For instance, the device can be programmed to suggested a predetermined application when a triggering event occurs. But, such operation is static and requires configuration by a user.

Abstract

An event can be detected by an input device. The event may be determined to be a triggering event by comparing the event to a group of triggering events. A first prediction model corresponding to the event is then selected. Contextual information about the device specifying one or more properties of the computing device in a first context is then received, and a set of one or more applications is identified. The set of one or more applications may have at least a threshold probability of being accessed by the user when the event occurs in the first context. Thereafter, a user interface is provided to a user for interacting with the set of one or more applications.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is related to commonly owned U.S. Patent Application entitled “Segmentation Techniques for Learning User Patterns to Suggest Applications Responsive to an Event on a Device” by Gauci et al. (attorney docket number 90911-P26712US1-939087), the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]Modern mobile devices (e.g., smartphones) may contain many applications. Each application may be designed to perform one or more specific functions. For instance, an application may be designed to play music or a video. As modern mobile devices become more integrated with modern day life, the number of applications stored on the mobile devices increases. It is not uncommon for modern mobile phones to have hundreds of applications. Having numerous applications may allow the mobile device to be particularly useful to the user; however, it may be difficult and time consuming for the user t...
