METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR CONTROLLING INVOCATION OF A SENSOR
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- accessing a context probability model generated based at least in part on historical context data;
using the context probability model to determine a probability that a context indicated by an output of a sensor will differ from a context indicated by a previous output of the sensor, the determination being made based at least in part on observed context information; and
controlling invocation of the sensor based at least in part on the determined probability.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling invocation of a sensor. A method may include accessing a context probability model generated based at least in part on historical context data. The method may further include using the context probability model to determine a probability that a context indicated by an output of a sensor will differ from a context indicated by a previous output of the sensor. The determination may be made based at least in part on observed context information. The method may additionally include controlling invocation of the sensor based at least in part on the determined probability. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

14. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least:
-
access a context probability model generated based at least in part on historical context data; use the context probability model to determine a probability that a context indicated by an output of a sensor will differ from a context indicated by a previous output of the sensor, the determination being made based at least in part on observed context information; and control invocation of the sensor based at least in part on the determined probability. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
