System, methods, apparatuses and computer program products for providing step-ahead computing
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a first state of a client;
determining, by the processor, a threshold number of pre-computed actions, wherein the threshold number of pre-computed actions is determined based on a probability associated with each possible next input event based on an interaction history of at least the client;
determining, by the processor, one or more pre-computed actions corresponding to the threshold number based on either a second state of the client or on a priority of applications associated with the client; and
upon reaching the threshold number of determined pre-computed actions, instructing notification to the client of the determined one or more pre-computed actions prior to receiving client selection of an action.

Abstract
A system for providing step-ahead computing may include a client and a server. The client may include a communication element, a user interface element and a processor. The communication element may be configured to receive a set of pre-computed actions. The set of pre-computed actions may be based on at least one possible future state of the client. The user interface element may be configured to receive a user input corresponding to a particular action. The processor may be in communication with the communication element and the user interface element. The processor may be configured to determine whether the set of pre-computed actions include an action corresponding to the particular action and to execute the action in response to a determination that the set of pre-computed actions include the action corresponding to the particular action. The server may include a processing element, a pre-computing element and a server side communication element. The processing element may be configured to receive an indication of a current state of the client. The pre-computing element may be in communication with the processing element and configured to determine the set of pre-computed actions based on the at least one possible future state of the client. The server side communication element may be in communication with the processing element and configured to communicate the pre-computed actions to the client.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; determine a first state of a client; determine a threshold number of pre-computed actions, wherein the threshold number of pre-computed actions is determined based on a probability associated with each possible next input event based on an interaction history of at least the client; determine one or more pre-computed actions corresponding to the threshold number based on either a second state of the client or on a priority of applications associated with the client; and upon reaching the threshold number of determined pre-computed actions, instruct notification to the client of the determined one or more pre-computed actions prior to receiving client selection of an action. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following:
-
determining a first state of a client; determining a threshold number of pre-computed actions, wherein the threshold number of pre-computed actions is determined based on a probability associated with each possible next input event based on an interaction history of at least the client; determining one or more pre-computed actions corresponding to the threshold number based on either a second state of the client or on a priority of applications associated with the client; and upon reaching the threshold number of determined pre-computed actions, instructing notification to the client of the determined one or more pre-computed actions prior to receiving client selection of an action. - View Dependent Claims (20)
