1. A method comprising:
- receiving sensor data extracted from one or more physical sensors;
using the extracted sensor data and a context model to perform a first level context determination;
examining, with a processor, at least one condition;
if the examining indicated that the at least one condition was fulfilled, adapting the context model on the basis of the sensor data without performance of another level of context determination, otherwise providing adaptation data formed on the basis of the sensor data to a second level context determination and using a combination of the extracted sensor data and virtual sensor data from virtual sensors configured to measure non-physical parameters to perform the second level context determination; and
in an instance that the at least one condition of the first level context determination and at least one condition of the second level context determination are fulfilled, adapting a same context model.

Abstract
There is disclosed a method including receiving sensor data extracted from one or more physical sensors, using the extracted sensor data and a context model to perform a first level context determination, and examining the at least one condition. If the examining indicated that the at least one condition was fulfilled, the context model is adapted on the basis of the sensor data, otherwise adaptation data formed on the basis of the sensor data is provided to a second level context determination. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to receive sensor data extracted from one or more physical sensors; use the extracted sensor data and a context model to perform a first level context determination; and examine at least one condition; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to adapt the context model on the basis of the sensor data without performance of another level of context determination if the examining indicated that the at least one condition was fulfilled, otherwise to provide adaptation data formed on the basis of the sensor data to a second level context determination and using a combination of the extracted sensor data and virtual sensor data from virtual sensors configured to measure non-physical parameters to perform the second level context determination; and
in an instance that the at least one condition of the first level context determination and at least one condition of the second level context determination are fulfilled, adapt a same context model. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising program code instructions for:
-
receiving sensor data extracted from one or more physical sensors; using the extracted sensor data and a context model to perform a first level context determination; examining at least one condition; if the examining indicated that the at least one condition was fulfilled, adapting the context model on the basis of the sensor data without performance of another level of context determination, otherwise providing adaptation data formed on the basis of the sensor data to a second level context determination and using a combination of the extracted sensor data and virtual sensor data from virtual sensors configured to measure non-physical parameters to perform the second level context determination; and in an instance that the at least one condition of the first level context determination and at least one condition of the second level context determination are fulfilled, adapting a same context model. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
