Abstract: Described herein is an apparatus comprising a location-awareness determination circuit configured to determine a location of the apparatus; at least one processor configured to determine at least one contextual factor of the apparatus including a type identifier of the determined location; an app-management facilitator configured to activate at least one mobile application (“app”) that is associated with the determined location of the apparatus based, at least in part, upon the determined at least one contextual factor; and deactivate at least one of the selected apps on the apparatus when the apparatus exits the location, based on the determined at least one contextual factor of the apparatus.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of application management comprising determining a location of a mobile device; determining at least one contextual factor of the mobile device; tracking usage of one or more mobile applications (“apps”) of the mobile device while at the determined location; generating an association between the determined location, determined at least one contextual factor, and the one or more tracked apps; and facilitating storage of the association in a database.
