Abstract: Methods and systems for mapping events to actions among heterogeneous devices are disclosed. An exemplary method may include obtaining at least one human-readable-event-descriptor from each of a plurality of event-emitting devices and obtaining at least one human-readable-action-descriptor from each of a plurality of action-effectuating devices. The human-readable-event-descriptors and the human-readable-action-descriptors are displayed on a display of the computing device, and user inputs are detected at the computing device that associate each of at least one of the human-readable-event-descriptors with at least one of the human-readable-action-descriptors to create a selected association between the human-readable-event-descriptors and the human-readable-action-descriptors.

Abstract: An apparatus or method of context-aware communication comprises obtaining, by an access terminal, a plurality of terminal data from a plurality of access terminal subsystems, one or more terminal applications, or a combination of both. Further, the various embodiments may include determining at least one context corresponding to at least a portion of the plurality of terminal data. Also, various embodiments may include creating a context profile having a context identifier identifying each context, wherein each context profile comprises profile parameters corresponding to the respective portion of the plurality of terminal data determined to correspond to the respective context. Additionally, the aspects include storing each context profile. Optionally, other embodiments may further include monitoring for the occurrence of a context corresponding to a content profile, and performing a context action triggered by detecting the occurrence of a context.
