Autonomous, non-interactive, context-based services for cellular phone

A cellular phone arranged for communication with a wireless communication network on behalf of user, the cellular phone comprising:

• a wireless communication component arranged for communicating with the wireless communication network;
• a storage component;
• a processor, wherein the processor is arranged to operate;
• one or more data collection modules configured to collect and store the data into the storage component, wherein the data comprises one or more of data about a user of the cellular phone, data about internal operating condition of the cellular phone, or data about external environment of the cellular phone, wherein the one or more data collection modules are configured to locally collect as well as collect from the wireless communication network through the wireless communication component;
• a plurality of agents configured to autonomously service a received call or a received message, without interacting with the user;
• and
• a common service layer configured to receive a call or a message, and route the received call or message to a selected one of the plurality of agents for service;
• wherein each of the agents is configured to determine, on receipt of a call or a message, a current service context based at least in part on some of the stored data, and autonomously service the received call or message based at least in part on the results of the determining.

An article of manufacture comprising:

• a storage medium;
• and
• a plurality of programming instructions stored in the storage medium, wherein if the programming instructions are executed by one or more processors of a cellular phone, the cellular phone practices a method for interacting with a wireless communication method on behalf of a user of the cellular phone, the method including:
• collecting and storing one or more data about a user of the cellular phone, data about internal operating condition of the cellular phone, or data about external environment of the cellular phone, wherein collecting comprises local collecting and collecting from the wireless communication network;
• receiving by a common service layer of the cellular phone, a call or a message from a wireless communication network;
• routing by the common service layer of the cellular phone the received call or message to an agent of the cellular phone;
• determining by the agent of the cellular phone, a current service context based at least in part on some or all of the stored data about the user, the internal operating condition or the external environment of the cellular phone;
• and
• autonomously servicing by the agents of the cellular phone, the received call or message based at least in part on the determined service context, without interacting with the user.

A cellular phone designed to interact with a wireless communication network, comprising:

• means for collecting and storing data about a user of the cellular phone, data about internal operating condition of the cellular phone, or data about external environment of the cellular phone, wherein the one or more data collection modules are configured to locally collect as well as collect from the wireless communication network;
• means for autonomously servicing a received call or a received message on behalf of the user, without interacting with the user;
• and
• means for receiving a call or a message, and route the received call or message to the autonomous service means;
• wherein the autonomous service means is configured to determine, on receipt of a call or a message, a current service context based at least in part on some of the stored data, and autonomously service the received call or message based at least in part on the results of the determination.
