USING BADGES TO INITIATE ACTIVITIES

摘要

Badges may be assigned to a user, and activities may be associated with the badges. The user may have the option to activate or deactivate specific activities associated with a badge, or to add additional activities in exchange for providing information about the user. A system may use the badges to initiate activities for the user. The specific choice of activities to be initiated may depend on context, where the context may include the device that is being used, where the user is located, whether the user is traveling, etc.
