Abstract

A context-based computing framework is disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein to provision a context profile for use in context-based computing include identifying, by executing a first instruction with a processor, a location of an electronic device, and creating, by executing a second instruction with the processor, a context profile associated with the location. The context profile contains context information identifying a computing resource available at the location. The context information also specifies an associated set of resource interaction characteristics for interacting with the computing resource. Example methods further include enabling access to the context profile by the electronic device in response to a query containing a request for the context information received from the electronic device.

Claims

1. A method to provision a context profile for use in context-based computing, the method comprising:

identifying, by executing a first instruction with a processor, a location of an electronic device;

creating, by executing a second instruction with the processor, a context profile associated with the location, the context profile containing context information identifying a computing resource available at the location, the context information further specifying an associated set of resource interaction characteristics for interacting with the computing resource; and

enabling access to the context profile by the electronic device in response to a query from the electronic device, the query containing a request for the context information.
