Method and apparatus for context sensing inference

An apparatus comprising,

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least:
• send, to a context inference service, a request for a second context model, the request including information on a first context model of the apparatus, wherein the request is sent in response to a determination by the apparatus that an observed context information is outside a predefined degree of accuracy for the apparatus, the observed context information comprising context information obtained from at least one sensor of the apparatus;
• in response to sending the request, receive the second context model from the context inference service, the second context model based at least partially on one or more context models that are compatible with the apparatus based on similarities between the first context model and the one or more context models, and wherein the second context model is validated to meet operating requirements of the apparatus;
• and
• adapt the received second context model as a current context model of the apparatus.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including program code which when executed by at least one processor causes operations comprising:

• sending, to a context inference service, a request for a second context model, the request including information on a first context model of an apparatus, wherein the request is sent in response to a determination by the apparatus that an observed context information is outside a predefined degree of accuracy for the apparatus, the observed context information comprising context information obtained from at least one sensor of the apparatus;
• in response to sending the request, receiving the second context model from the context inference service, the second context model based at least partially on one or more context models that are compatible with the apparatus based on similarities between the first context model and the one or more context models, and wherein the second context model is validated to meet operating requirements of the apparatus;
• and
• adapting the received second context model as a current context model of the apparatus.
