  • Context-based device action prediction
    Patent number: 9189252
    Abstract: The described implementations relate to automatically performing device actions. One implementation can obtain a contextual value of a contextor. The implementation can decide, using a decision engine, whether to perform an action on a computing device based on the contextual value. In an instance when the decision engine decides that the action is to be performed, the implementation can perform the action on the computing device. The implementation can also update the decision engine using feedback related to the action. As a specific example, the action can be prelaunching an application before a user has requested to execute the application. Prelaunching the application can reduce application latency relative to waiting for the user to request to execute the application before launching the application.

  • Method and Apparatus for Sharing and Managing Resource Availability Data
    Publication number: 20120136997
    Abstract: An example approach is provided for sharing and managing resource availability information. One or more resource availability information is received. Further, one or more requests to access the one or more resource availability messages are received from at least one consuming device. Access to the one or more resource availability messages is reserved based, at least in part, on the one or more requests.
