Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, information about a user'"'"'s activities and habits may be collected on an ongoing basis with the user'"'"'s permission. This information about previous history can then tied to inferences that enable predictions about the user'"'"'s preferences. As a result, when it comes time for the user to make a decision or a selection, information about past history and permissible inferences can be used to automatically provide suggestions for implementing future activities. In addition, in some cases this previous history information can be used to optimize future selections.
