Abstract:
1. A method for recommending an application, the method comprising: obtaining an input model representing user interaction patterns during execution of a first application, wherein the input model includes a plurality of input states, each input state of the input model encoded to identify an input state type, each input state type corresponding to a different user physical interaction with a remote device executing the first application; comparing the input model to a reference model, the reference model representing user interaction patterns during execution of a second application, wherein the reference model includes a plurality of input states, each input state of the reference model encoded to identify an input state type of the reference model, each input state type of the reference model corresponding to a different user physical interaction with a device executing the second application; determining a similarity between the input model and the reference model comprising determining a similarity between input state types of the input model to input state types of the reference model; and generating a recommendation of the second application in response to the similarity.
