摘要： Given a situation, an interest in a first object of interest can be determined. In the given situation, interest in a first object of interest is initially unknown and interest in a second object of interest is known. Data is obtained. The obtained data can, for example, include documents from the Internet or other forms of information from a network and/or database. The number of joint occurrences of the first object of interest and the second object of interest in the data is determined. Based on this number, at least one correlation value is determined. Based on the at least one correlation value, an interest value is determined. The interest value indicates the interest in the first object of interest in the given situation.

摘要： Techniques for identifying potential communication uses of various systems are disclosed. Identifying potential communication uses of a computing system can improve the manner in which the computing system is used by allowing more intelligent decisions and better choices to be made regarding its communication use. By way of example, communication applications (or tasks or services) that are likely (or more likely) to be used by a person in a particular situation can be identified as potential communication use of a particular device. Such potential uses can, for example, be made more assessable (or more readily available) and/or effectively recommended (or automatically initiated), thereby allowing a person to more conveniently use the device. By way of example, identifying communication applications or tasks that are likely to be used by a person in a particular situation for various reasons (e.g., preferences and/or habits of a person in a particular situation) as potential communication use of a system (e.g., computing and/or communication device) allows making the communications applications, tasks, or services more assessable and/or effectively recommending them for use in a particular situation.

摘要： Techniques for determining situational patterns of use of computing systems are disclosed. A situational pattern of use can be determined based on the situations encountered by the computing system as the situations occur without having to predefine a set of situations. Generally, a situation can be determined and/or defined based on the context of use of the computing system when the use occurs. The context of use can, for example, be determined based on internal and external variables including the physical environment where a device is used and biological data associated with a person who uses the device. The state of use of the computing system can, for example, be determined based on the state (or status) of one or more components of the computing system (e.g., the state of one or more active applications that are being used by person). Similar to the context of use, the state of use can be determined as the use occurs without having to predefine potential uses of the computing system (e.g., there is no need to predefine or know the applications that will be used on a device). Moreover, the state of use can be connected to context of use defining a situation in which the state of use has occurred to allow determining a pattern of use of the computing system at least based on the association of the state of use with the situation effectively defined by the contextual usage data which can be obtained as and when the use occurs.

摘要： In one embodiment, data relating to usage patterns of the user is stored, wherein the data includes information as to items which were used and the context in which they were used. The data is then clustered into input clusters of data points. It is determined if there are any input clusters that are similar to each other. Similar clusters are merged if there are any input clusters similar to each other. Any non-merged input clusters are divided into split clusters if the split clusters would not be similar to each other. The determining, merging, and dividing are then repeated using the merged, divided, and remaining unmerged and undivided clusters as input clusters.

摘要： In one embodiment, data relating to usage patterns of the user is stored, wherein the data includes information as to items which were used and the context in which they were used. The data is then clustered into clusters of data points, wherein the number of data points per cluster is limited based on a preset value. Then a centroid is determined for each of the clusters. Clusters similar to the current context of the user are then selected by comparing a data point representing the current context of the user to one or more of the centroids. Then, for each of the one or more items, a probability that the user wishes to use the corresponding item is computed, based on the selected similar clusters, wherein the probabilities are used to recommend one or more of the items.

摘要： A method and system for providing services in a network including a control point and plural UPnP devices is provided. Surrogates are used to functionally replace the original UPnP device/service functionalities without new hardware or firmware/software updates. The surrogates enable proper operation in UPnP networks where devices that implement surrogates can coexist in the same network with UPnP devices that do not. This allows updating existing device functionalities without requiring new hardware or firmware/software updates.
