Abstract

A system and method for real time delivery of context based content from the cloud (internet) to mobile devices. The information in the cloud is available in the form of software-as-a-service is accessible from laptops and personal computers. The system obtains information from multiple sources in the “cloud,” correlates the information, determines a subset of information based on context, and pushes the information to at least one mobile device. An engine extracts a context based subset of information and correlates the context based subset of information based on the same context or a different context. A data push engine makes the information available in real time to a user by pushing the information to the at least one mobile device like a smartphone, tablet, and/or navigation system.

Claims

1. A method of delivering context based information to a mobile device in real time, the method comprising a processor:

correlating information from multiple sources based on a context;

determining a subset of information based on the context after correlating the information from the multiple sources based on the same or another context; and

delivering the subset of information to a mobile device based on a push mechanism, where the request for a given transaction is initiated by the processor and not by the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising, the processor:

receiving real time live data from multiple systems on the Internet (cloud), where the real time live data includes one or more contexts;

correlating the real time live data based on one or more contexts; and

determining a subset of the real time live data.

3. The method of claim 1, comprising, the processor:

determining a most relevant subset of available information from a predetermined context.

4. The method of claim 3, comprising, the processor:

determining the most relevant subset of information from a calendar entry based context of the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 3, comprising the processor:

determining the most relevant subset of information from a location based context of the mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1, comprising, the processor:

delivering the subset of information to the mobile device based on a push mechanism in a manner that is agnostic to the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1, comprising, the processor:

ascertaining privacy of information pushed to the mobile device when the information comprises location and identity based security information.

8. A system for delivering context based information to a mobile device in real time, the system comprising:

a web server comprising a processor configured to execute computer readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the web server to;

correlate information from multiple sources based on a context;

determine a subset of information based on the context after correlating the information from the multiple sources based on the same or another context; and

deliver the subset of information to a mobile device based on a push a push mechanism, where the request for a given transaction is initiated by the web server and not by the mobile device.

9. The system of claim 8, comprising a context based information correlation engine to:

receive real time live data from multiple systems on the Internet (cloud), where the real time live data includes one or more contexts;

correlate the real time live data based on one or more contexts; and

determine a subset of the real time live data.

10. The system of claim 8, comprising the processor to determine a most relevant subset of available information from a predetermined context.

11. The system of claim 10, comprising the processor to determine the most relevant subset of information from a calendar entry based context of the mobile device.

12. The system of claim 10, comprising the processor to determine the most relevant subset of information from a location based context of the mobile device.

13. The system of claim 8, comprising the processor to deliver the subset of information to the mobile device based on a push mechanism in a manner that is agnostic to the mobile device.

14. A method of determining a context based subset and correlation of information received from a cloud (Internet), the method comprising a cloud mobility processor:

receiving information from multiple sources linked to the cloud;

determining a context match in response to an event trigger;

determining availability of data to satisfy context match across multiple data system;

correlating the data that satisfies the context match between the multiple data systems;

pushing a subset of the correlated data to at least one mobile device.

15. The method of claim 14, comprising, a data normalization engine:

normalizing the information received from the cloud;

generating a cloud mobility data unit; and

providing the cloud mobility data unit to a business rules engine.

16. The method of claim 15, comprising, the business rules engine:

applying at least one rule to the cloud mobility data unit;

correlating the information provided in the cloud mobility data unit based on a context determined based on the at least one rule; and

providing the context based correlation information to a data output engine.

17. The method of claim 16, comprising, the business rules engine:

determining the at least one rule based on configuration information received from a cloud mobility configuration file.

18. The method of claim 16, comprising, the data output engine:

delivering the context based correlation information content to the at least one mobile device.

19. The method of claim 18, comprising, the data output engine:

tracking the configuration of the at least one mobile device;

determining a pushing engine for the at least one mobile device;

applying a predetermined set of rule for the pushing engine; and

pushing the context based correlation information content to the at least one mobile device based on the predetermined set of rules.

20. The method of claim 14, comprising a data acquisition engine:

receiving information from the multiple sources linked to the cloud in a manner selected from any one of the following methods;

scraping from web pages;

reading flat files;

reading from mobile device servers;

reading from enterprise servers;

reading from databases; and

reading from web services.
