Determining a dynamic user profile indicative of a user behavior context with a mobile device

摘要

Methods, apparatuses and articles of manufacture for use in a mobile device to determine whether a dynamic user profile is to transition from a first state to a second state based, at least in part, on one or more sensed indicators. The dynamic user profile may be indicative of one or more current inferable user behavior contexts for a user co-located with the mobile device. The mobile device may transition a dynamic user profile from a first state to a second state, in response to a determination that the dynamic user profile is to transition from the first state to the second state, and operatively affect one or more functions performed, at least in part, by the mobile device based, at least in part, on the transition of the dynamic user profile to the second state.

主权项

1. A method comprising, at a mobile device:
determining that the mobile device is proximate to or approaching a point of interest (POI), wherein the determination that the mobile device is proximate to or approaching a POI, based, at least in part, on one or more sensed indicators; associating, with a processor, an attribute corresponding to a user co-located with the mobile device with a function corresponding to the POI; determining a current user behavior context based, at least in part, on the association; operatively affecting one or more functions performed by the mobile device based, at least in part, on the determined current user behavior context.
