Abstract:
1. A method to manage device characteristics based on a detected user context comprising: sensing one or more inputs; determining, by a processor, if the sensed one or more inputs correspond to a change in the detected user context, wherein the change in the user context is that a user has entered a store; updating an interface based on the determining, wherein updating the interface is accomplished by providing an application that works only in the store and wherein the application allows navigation to find items within the store; sorting and updating, based on a frequency of use of icons over a time period for each detected user context, the icons in the interface such that, for each detected user context, the user is presented with the icons most germane to that detected user context; and removing the user context when the user leaves the store by removing or disabling the application that allows navigation to find items within the store.
