Conduct and context relationships in mobile devices
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a user sensor to sense conduct of a user;
an environment sensor to capture images of an environment;
user analysis logic that is responsive to the user sensor to identify the conduct of the user;
environment analysis logic that is responsive to the environment sensor to identify a context of the user based in part on the images of an environment captured by the environment sensor; and
device operational logic that varies device operation based at least in part on the identified conduct and context of the user, wherein the device operation includes;
determining a first object based at least in part on the identified conduct of the user;
determining a second object located in a path being traveled by the user based at least in part on the context of the user and the identified conduct of the user; and
presenting an alert to the user based at least in part on determining that the first object is different than the second object.

Abstract
Described herein is a technique for customizing device behavior based on evaluated relationships between a user and the user'"'"'s environment. User conduct is analyzed based on available sensors, which may include user-facing cameras. The user'"'"'s environmental context is similarly evaluated based on the available sensors. Conduct and context, as well as any identified relationships between such conduct and context, may be reported to application programs, and may form the basis for customized device behavior.

12. A mobile device comprising:
-
a user-facing camera; an environment-facing camera; logic that is responsive to an analysis of an output of the user-facing camera and an analysis of an output of the environment-facing camera to identify relationships between a user and an environment associated with the user, wherein the analysis of the output of the environment-facing camera comprises; determining a first object based at least in part on a conduct of the user captured by the user-facing camera; determining a second object located in a path being traveled by the user based at least in part on a context of the user captured by the environment-facing camera; and presenting an alert to the user based at least in part on determining that the first object is different than the second object; and an application interface that is accessible by one or more applications executing on the mobile device to report the identified relationships to the applications. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
