Abstract

A system and method for providing an adaptive experience framework for an ambient intelligent environment are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: detecting as context change in an environment causing a transition to a current temporal context; assigning, by use of is data processor, as task set from a set of contextual tasks, the task set assignment being based on the current temporal context; activating the task set; and dispatching a set or interaction resources, corresponding to the contextual tasks in the task set, to present a state of the current temporal context to a user by use of a plurality of interaction devices corresponding to the set of interaction resources.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting a context change in an environment causing a transition to a current temporal context;

assigning, by use of a data processor, a task set tram a set of contextual tasks, the task set assignment being based on the current temporal context;

activating the task set; and

dispatching a set of interaction resources, corresponding to the contextual tasks in the task set, to present a state of the current temporal context to a user by use of a plurality of interaction devices corresponding to the set of interaction resources.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 including:

sending messages to any services needed to perform the contextual tasks;

receiving results from the services; and

ranking and ordering the results for presentation.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein detecting the context change includes receiving an indication of user interaction with a user interface.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein detecting the context change includes receiving a notification from an application, service, or data provider.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein detecting the context change includes receiving an indication from an external source.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the task set has a task hierarchy.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the environment is a vehicle environment.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the context change has an associated priority.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 wherein the task set is assigned based in part on the associated priority of the context change.

10. A system comprising:

one or more data processors; and

a adaptive experience framework, executable by the one or more data processors, to;

detect a context change in an environment causing a transition to a current temporal context;

assign a task set from a set of contextual tasks, the task set assignment being based on the current temporal context;

activate the task set; and

dispatch a set of interaction resources, corresponding to the contextual tasks in the task set, to present a state of the current temporal context to a user by use of a plurality of interaction devices corresponding to the set of interaction resources.

11. The system as claimed in claim 10 being further configured to:

send messages to any services needed to perform the contextual tasks;

receive results from the services; and

rank and ordering the results for presentation.

12. The system as claimed in claim 10 being further configured to detect the context change by receiving an indication of user interaction with a user interface.

13. The system as claimed in claim 10 being further configured to detect the context change by receiving a notification from an application, service, or data provider.

14. The system as claimed in claim 10 being further configured to detect the context change by receiving an indication from an external source.

15. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the task set has a task hierarchy.

16. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the environment is a vehicle environment.

17. The system as claimed in claim 10 wherein the context change has an associated priority.

18. The system as claimed in claim 17 being further configured to assign the task set based in part on the associated priority of the context change.

19. A non-transitory machine-useable storage medium embodying instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

detect a context change in an environment causing as transition to a current temporal context;

assign a task set from a set of contextual tasks, the task set assignment being based on the current temporal context;

activate the task set; and

dispatch a set of interaction resources, corresponding to the contextual tasks in the task set, to present a state of the current temporal context to a user by use of a plurality of interaction devices corresponding to the set of interaction resources.

20. The machine-useable Storage medium as claimed in claim 19 wherein the environment is a vehicle environment.
