Functional Context Awareness: Measuring and Utilizing the Context Dependency of Mobile Usage

Abstract

Context data brings new open doors for productive and compelling applications and services on mobile devices. An extensive variety of examination has abused context dependency, i.e. the relations in the middle of context(s) and the result, to accomplish huge, evaluated, execution picks up for an assortment of applications and services. These works ordinarily need to manage the difficulties of numerous context sources prompting an inadequate preparing dataset, and the difficulties of energy hungry context sensors. Regularly, they address these difficulties in an application particular and specially appointed way. We free mobile application planners and analysts from these weights by giving a systematic way to deal with these difficulties. Specifically, we 1) characterize and measure the context-dependency of three central sorts of mobile use (went by sites, telephone calls, and application use) in an application freethinker yet viable way, giving understanding into the execution of potential application. 2) Address the test of information meager condition when managing various context sources in an efficient way. 3) Present SmartContext to address the energy challenge via consequently selecting among context sources while guaranteeing a base precision for every estimation. Our examination and discoveries depend on one year of utilization and context follows gathered, in actuality, settings from 24 iPhone clients. We show discoveries with respect to the context dependency of three sorts of mobile utilization from 24 clients, yet our philosophy and the lessons we learn can be promptly stretched out to different sorts of use and additionally framework assets. Our discoveries control the improvement of context mindful frameworks, and highlight the difficulties and assumptions in regards to the context dependency of mobile use.
