Excerpt
Excerpt A wireless device uses profiles associated with one or more contexts, which defines various operating situations. Depending on a context, the wireless device changes its operational behavior in accordance with a defined profile, when a context parameter changes. Among other things, the context can correspond to a wireless device location, user age, skill, or gender, or ambient environmental factors, such as temperature. For example, based on a profile associated with a location, the wireless device can change its operational behavior relative to sharing resources with other devices.
Among other things, the context can correspond to a wireless device location, user age, skill, or gender, or even ambient environmental factors, such as temperature. For example, based on a profile associated with a location, the wireless device can change its operational behavior relative to sharing resources with other devices.
Referring to FIG. 4, a diagram illustrates the exemplary embodiment of the invention as used with a location-based context, for changing the operational behavior of the wireless device in accordance with the present invention. As shown, profiles A, B, and C are associated with three locations: a first location 401, a second location 402, and a third location 403 within which the wireless device travels. The first location 401 can correspond to a user home, the third location 403 can correspond to a user's office and the second location 402 can correspond to everywhere else, except the first and third locations 401 and 403. When the wireless device 12 is located within the first location 401, it operates in accordance with specified parameters in profile A. While the wireless device 12 is moving from the first location 401 to the third location 403 through the second location 402, it changes its behavior in accordance with specified parameters in profile C. Once the wireless device 12 is in the third location, its operating mode changes again to correspond to specified parameters in profile B. FIG. 5 depicts a table that associates home, office, head office and everywhere else locations with the profiles A, B, and C. |
