PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a context aware platform having the ability of handling disparate sensors. SOLUTION: The context engine of the context aware platform includes a provider manager coupled to context providers and the provider manager communicates with the context providers using application programming interfaces (API). To optimize the use of system resources, the provider manager loads/unloads the context providers based on value of a load field of a hint signal or on prediction values. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
