1. A method comprising operating a computer to perform steps of:
- storing a plurality of task patterns, each task pattern comprising a plurality of action items; and
defining a domain-specific task, comprising steps of;
receiving initial input that represents domain-specific information;
identifying a plurality of candidates from among the task patterns based on the initial input;
receiving input that identifies a selected task pattern from among the candidates;
presenting information that identifies one or more action items that comprise the selected task pattern; and
receiving input that represents domain-specific action items relating to the given domain responsive to presentation of the one or more action items that comprise the selected task pattern,wherein the domain-specific task is defined by the domain-specific action items.

Abstract
A domain-specific task may be defined from a library of domain-independent task patterns. A task pattern may be selected based on inferences made from a user'"'"'s initial input, or just based on receiving sensor information through events or contextual information, or a combination of user input and sensor information. One or more elements of a selected task pattern may be defined in the context of a given domain to define the domain-specific task.

10. A system comprising:
-
a data processing component; computer program code; and a first data store of task patterns, each task pattern comprising a plurality of action items, wherein the computer program code is configured to cause the data processing component to define a domain-specific task by performing steps of; receiving initial input that represents domain-specific information; identifying a plurality of candidates from among the task patterns based on the initial input; receiving input that identifies a selected task pattern from among the candidates; presenting information that identifies one or more action items that comprise the selected task pattern; and receiving input that represents domain-specific action items relating to the given domain responsive to presentation of the one or more action items that comprise the selected task pattern, wherein the domain-specific task is defined by the domain-specific action items.

17. A tangible computer readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable code, the computer executable code configured to cause a processing system to:
-
receive initial input that represents domain-specific information; identify a plurality of candidates from among a plurality of stored task patterns based on the initial input; receive input that identifies a selected task pattern from among the candidates; present information that identifies one or more action items that comprise the selected task pattern; and receive input that represents domain-specific action items relating to the given domain responsive to presentation of the one or more action items that comprise the selected task pattern, wherein the domain-specific task is defined by the domain-specific action items. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
