Generating and automatically loading reduced operating system based on usage pattern of applications
First Claim
1. A method for providing pattern-based operating system comprising:
- generating a reduced operating system (OS) image, by a first processor, based on a monitored usage pattern of applications executing under a full OS, the monitored usage pattern including resource usage of the executed applications during a selected time period, the reduced OS image having sufficient resources to service a subset of the executed applications and at least capable of satisfying the respective resource usage, the subset comprising one or more applications from the executed applications having the respective resource usage exceed a threshold during the selected time period, the selected time period being a recurring time period including at least one of a time of day, a day of a week, and a calendar date; and
automatically loading, by a second processor, the reduced OS image when a current time period matches the selected time period.

Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to monitor operations of at least one processor to define a set of executed applications executed under a first operating system over a selected time period; and to generate an image of a second operating system having sufficient resources to service a subset of the set of executed applications, the subset determined according to a usage pattern defined by at least a portion of the selected time period, the number of resources provided by the second operating system being less than or equal to the number of resources provided by the first operating system. The images may be loaded based on receipt of a menu selection. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
