System and method for assignment of context classifications to mobile stations
First Claim
1. A method of operating a mobile station in communication with a remote device, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a plurality of context classifications associated with an application from a remote device;
detecting an event of the mobile station;
determining, in response to detecting the event, a current state of the mobile station;
selecting a particular classification of the plurality of context classifications based on the current state of the mobile station; and
providing the particular classification to the remote device for utilization by the application.

Abstract
There is presented a mobile station (160, 162, 164, 166) in communication with a remote device (160, 162, 164, 166, 180) and a method of operating the same. The mobile station receives (410) context classifications associated with an application (214, 314) from the remote device. When the mobile station detects (420) an event, the mobile station determines (430), its current state and selects a particular classification based on its current state. The mobile station provides (450) the particular classification to the remote device for utilization by the application. The mobile station may also communicate (540) appropriate classifications to different applications.

27. A mobile station in communication with a remote device comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive a plurality of context classifications associated with an application from the remote device;
a sensor configured to detect an event of the mobile station; and
a processor, coupled to the transceiver and responsive to detection of the event by the sensor, configured to determine a current state of the mobile station and select a particular classification of the plurality of context classifications based on the current state of the mobile station, wherein the transceiver circuit provides the particular classification to the remote device for utilization by the application. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
