  • Patent number: 10743132
    Abstract: An example context-based computing framework includes methods to configure a computer device. Some example methods include generating a request for access to computing resources available at a first location in response to determining the computer device has moved from a second location to the first location. Some example methods also include, based on context data contained in a response to the request, configuring an interface of an application of the computer device is configured to allow interaction with a subset of a set of features of a first computing resource of the computing resources. The context data is identified in the context profile and the context profile is associated with the first location. Some example methods further include interacting, via the interface of the application, with a first feature of the subset of the set of features of the first computing resource.

  • Publication number: 20180338220
    Abstract: A context-based computing framework is disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein to provision a context profile for use in context-based computing include identifying, by executing a first instruction with a processor, a location of an electronic device, and creating, by executing a second instruction with the processor, a context profile associated with the location. The context profile contains context information identifying a computing resource available at the location. The context information also specifies an associated set of resource interaction characteristics for interacting with the computing resource. Example methods further include enabling access to the context profile by the electronic device in response to a query containing a request for the context information received from the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10064011
    Abstract: Example methods disclosed herein to provision a context profile for use in context-based computing include creating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a context profile associated with a first location. The context profile contains context information identifying a computing resource available at the first location. The context information also specifies an associated set of resource interaction characteristics for interacting with the computing resource. Example disclosed methods further include enabling access to the context profile by an electronic device having a device location corresponding to the first location in response to a query containing a request for the context information received from the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9577896
    Abstract: Context-based computing frameworks disclosed herein may determine a location associated with a query from a device, the query requesting context information. Such context-based computing frameworks may also obtain the context information from a context profile associated with the location, the context information identifying a computing resource associated with the location. Such context-based computing frameworks may further send the context information in response to the query, the context information to enable configuration of interaction between the device and the computing resource associated with the location.
