Environment- and preference-based application and operation guidance selection

A computer program product for selecting an application and associated operational guidance to utilize on a mobile device, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-usable program code embodied therein, the computer-usable program code configured to perform the following when executed by at least one processor:

• identify a selected environment of interest;
• determining at least one application that is commonly utilized in the selected environment by users including a particular user and a general population, further comprising determining operational steps commonly performed by the users including the particular user and the general population on and within the at least one application for executing one or more tasks using the at least one application;
• recording and documenting the at least one application and the operational steps commonly performed by the users within the selected environment of interest;
• detecting physical entry of the particular user into the selected environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the entry, automatically notifying the particular user of the at least one application that is commonly utilized within the selected environment based on the particular user and the general population, wherein the automatically notifying the particular user of the at least one application further comprises providing the associated operational guidance that includes the commonly performed operational steps for executing the one or more tasks on and within the at least one application based on the particular user and the general population.

A system for selecting an application and associated operational guidance to utilize on a mobile device, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory device operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for execution on the at least one processor, the instructions causing the at least one processor to:
• identify a selected environment of interest;
• determine at least one application that is commonly utilized in the selected environment by users including a particular user and a general population, further comprising determining operational steps commonly performed by the users including the particular user and the general population on and within the at least one application for executing one or more tasks using the at least one application;
• record and document the at least one application and the operational steps commonly performed by the users within the selected environment of interest;
• detect physical entry of the particular user into the selected environment;
• and
• in response to detecting the entry, automatically notify the particular user of the at least one application that is commonly utilized within the selected environment based on the particular user and the general population, wherein the automatically notifying the particular user of the at least one application further comprises providing the associated operational guidance that includes the commonly performed operational steps for executing the one or more tasks on and within the at least one application based on the particular user and the general population.
