Context-based computing framework for obtaining computing resource context information associated with a location
First Claim
1. A method to provision a context profile for use in context-based computing, the method comprising:
- creating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a context profile associated with a first location, the context profile containing context information identifying a computing resource available at the first location, the context information further specifying at least a first set of features of the computing resource permitted to be accessed by devices having a first set of device capabilities and a second set of features of the computing resource permitted to be accessed by devices having a second set of device capabilities, the second set of device capabilities different than the first set of device capabilities, the second set of features different than the first set of features; and
enabling access to the context profile by an electronic device having a device location corresponding to the first location in response to a query from the electronic device, the query containing a request for the context information.

Abstract
Example methods disclosed herein to provision a context profile for use in context-based computing include creating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a context profile associated with a first location. The context profile contains context information identifying a computing resource available at the first location. The context information also specifies an associated set of resource interaction characteristics for interacting with the computing resource. Example disclosed methods further include enabling access to the context profile by an electronic device having a device location corresponding to the first location in response to a query containing a request for the context information received from the electronic device.
