Method for rule-based context acquisition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for rule-based context acquisition, comprising:
- accepting a request for a target context from an application at a context acquisition system;
identifying context rules relating to the target context using a rule-based inference cache;
determining an inferred value of the target context based on previously-acquired contexts and the context rules without initializing sensor procedures as a result of the request; and
generating the context rules according to context history obtained from sensed context within the rule-based inference cache using a context rule miner.

Abstract
Methods and systems for rule-based context acquisition are disclosed herein. The method includes accepting a request for target context from an application at a context acquisition system and identifying context rules relating to the target context using a rule-based inference cache. The method also includes determining an inferred value of the target context based on previously-acquired contexts and the context rules without initializing sensor procedures as a result of the request.

10. A system for rule-based context acquisition, comprising:
a rule-based inference cache configured to; accept a request for a target context from an application; identify context rules relating to the target context, wherein the context rules are stored within the rule-based inference cache; determine an inferred value of the target context based on previously-acquired contexts and the context rules without initializing sensor procedures as a result of the request; and generate the context rules according to context history obtained from sensed context within the rule-based inference cache using a context rule miner. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions providing a rule-based context acquisition system when executed by one or more processing devices, the computer-readable instructions comprising code configured to:
-
accept a request for a target context from an application; and attempt to determine an inferred value of the target context according to context rules relating to the target context using a rule-based inference cache without initializing sensor procedures as a result of the request, wherein the context rules relating to the target context comprise a plurality of context rules generated by a context rule miner and organized by the rule-based inference cache according to a relationship between each of the plurality of context rules with regard to the target context. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
