Abstract:
Disclosed are application-aware packet transmission methods and apparatuses for a terminal. The application-aware packet transmission method comprises classifying applications according to delay sensitivities of the applications, determining a transmission pattern of packets for the classified applications; and transmitting the packets based on the determined transmission pattern. Thus, a battery of the terminal may be efficiently managed by applying user preferences and configuring transmission patterns of packets to be transmitted for each application differently. In addition, degradation of application performances and user experiences for the uses of applications can be prevented.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for managing user-centered context, the apparatus including a sensor level unit including a plurality of sensors to transmit respective pieces of first context collected from the plurality of sensors, a domain level unit including a plurality of domain context management modules (domain_U-CoUDE) to produce a first inferred context by aggregating and inferring a corresponding second context among the respective pieces of first context by use of a context model and transmit the produced first inferred context, and a user level unit including a plurality of user context management modules (user_U-CoUDE) to produce and transmit a second inferred context by aggregating and inferring the first inferred context by use of the context model, so that different forms of context generated from various domains are converted into a standardized from, thereby providing and using the context in a more efficient manner.
