    摘要: A method and system for adapting system behavior based on activities. An activities engine determines or is informed of the current activity and instructs a notification component to notify registered programs (also known as notification consumers) about the current activity. Upon receipt of the notification, the notification consumers modify their behavior if appropriate. When an activity ceases, the activities engine may instruct the notification component to notify the registered programs so that they may resume their normal behavior.

    摘要: An improved system and method for a context-awareness platform that may be used to adapt an execution environment is provided. A framework with interfaces for setting, tracking, and getting context information about the execution environment of a computer system includes a context engine and a unified data store for aggregating context information at a platform level for access by executables running on the platform. The context engine may receive requests to perform context information operations from executables such as setting, tracking and getting context information in the data store. Upon receiving a notification of a change in context information, one or more executables may change the execution environment such as reconfiguring system settings. In this way, an executable may adapt its execution environment using context information.

    摘要: Systems and methods for enabling users to roam between networking environments are disclosed. In one embodiment, different machine settings may be stored in a memory for different network locations under se network profiles. In another embodiment, these and other settings may be automatically adjusted upon entering a different location. In one such embodiment, a logical network may be employed to determine which settings are adjusted. Another aspect relates to a graphical user interface to implement the above and other methods of adapting a computing device to different network locations. In one embodiment, a graphical use interface may allow the use to modify which application and which aspects of those applications are displayed on the menu. In still yet another embodiments, a memory can update a network profile as the changes occur. In still yet further embodiments, the user may derive or otherwise create new network profiles from existing network profiles. Another aspect relates to systems and methods that allow a user to configure various settings explicitly for different network locations by means of a consolidated UI.

    摘要: Systems and methods for a readily discoverable, consolidated UI of frequently modified system settings are provided. In one aspect, systems and methods may be deployed to efficiently adjust mobile settings. In one embodiment, tiles configured to represent the an application and further having at least one icon, the status of the application, and a user-selectable display element, such as a button, for positioning within each tile are produced, wherein the user can adjust the aspect with a single input. In yet another embodiment, the user may select another user-selectable user display element to view and adjust further aspects of the application in a secondary menu. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method that may be instituted to determine which applications and/or elements of applications are to be displayed within the menus.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which a computer system operates in a mode that is different from a general purpose operating mode, upon detection of a special actuation mechanism coupled to the computing device. For example, actuation of a special hardware button may boot or resume a sleeping computer system into a direct experience upon actuation, including by launching a special program corresponding to that button. The computer system may thus enter a mode in which it mimics a special purpose device such as a consumer electronics device, e.g., a dedicated media player. When in a direct experience, the computer system may also operate in a constrained/sandboxed mode in which operating system limits available functionality to less than what is available when running as a general purpose computer system, e.g., keyboard operation and/or file access may be limited. Different actuation mechanisms may correspond to different modes.
