The method for providing a context-aware service includes receiving a user input, the user input being at least one of a text input and a speech input, identifying a rule including a condition and an action corresponding to the condition based on the received user input, activating the rule to detect a context which corresponds to the condition of the rule, and executing, when the context is detected, the action corresponding to the condition.

A context-aware service recommender system receives current user context and recommends a list of browser-based services to a user on a mobile devices. A user's mobile device receives context events from smart environments in which the mobile device is operating. Data about the context events is relayed to a service recommendation server. The server develops recommendations based on the context and other factors, and relays information about the recommended services to the mobile device. As each recommended service is selected or ignored by the user of the mobile device, the device sends implicit feedback with this information to the service recommendation server for use in subsequent recommendations.

Systems and methods for context-aware service subscription management are provided. In an embodiment a context-aware service subscription management system includes a policy decision module that makes a decision whether the requested service will be provided based on policy rules, subscription profiles and the context of the request for the service. The use of context to make the policy decision allows for services offerings to be adjusted dynamically to the context of a particular user's service request. The subscription management system further includes a policy rules module, subscription profile interface and a context analysis module. The policy rules module provides policy rules. The context analysis module determines the context of a service request. Based on context information, the policy decision module in effect temporarily overrides a subscription profile based on the context of a service access by the user. Methods of use for the context-aware service subscription management systems are also provided.

The invention provides a polling method of a low-power consumption sensor used for a context-aware application program on the basis of context-aware service of the sensor in a smartphone. By using the method, unnecessary sensor activities can be dynamically removed, so that the sensors can be kept in a sleep state for a long time. Additionally, the invention also provides a method for searching the relation between an application request and the sensor activities. By adopting the method, multiple application program combination detecting frequencies which are invoked by a user are calculated and matched by a polling scheduler, so as to lead low-power consumption polling to avoid unnecessary activities. When different context application programs are used for evaluating the method, results indicate that the low-power consumption polling response time in a middleware is minimum (97ms). Compared with that of the traditional exhaustive polling operation, the energy consumption can be saved by about 70%. Through the context-aware service, the energy consumption of the sensor of the smartphone can be reduced, and the service life of a battery of the smartphone is prolonged.
