Method and system for prioritizing tasks made available by devices in a network

摘要

A method and system that facilitates prioritization of tasks available through the devices (20) in a home network (10). The tasks are user level descriptions of the high-level actions a user and underlying devices (20) can perform. By prioritizing tasks for a user, the present invention aims to minimize the effort required to compare and comprehend the usefulness and feasibility of tasks. In doing so, the number of tasks possible to a user can be reduced and the highest priority task for a given user and device can be used by the application software as the suggested 'most likely' task for the user.
