Abstract
A system and method of automatic suggested application identification includes accessing a profile of a device, wherein the profile represents information specific to the device. From said profile, a determined pattern of use determined by the device is accessed, wherein the determined pattern is unique to the device. The profile including the determined pattern and a geo-specific data of the device and configuration information of the device and applications resident on the device is compared to similar profiles and similar determined patterns of other devices. A suggested application is identified based on said comparing.
Claims20
A method of automatic suggested application identification, said method comprising:
- accessing a profile of a device, wherein said profile represents information specific to said device;
- from said profile, accessing a determined pattern of use determined by said device, wherein said determined pattern is unique to said device;
- comparing said profile including said determined pattern of use to similar profiles and similar determined patterns of use of other devices;
- and
- identifying a suggested application based on said comparing.
A method of automatic recommendation, said method comprising:
- receiving device information on a server from a remote device;
- associating said device information with comparable device information collected from further remote devices and stored on said server;
- and
- recommending a downloadable program to a user of said device based on results of said associating.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled to the processor, wherein said memory comprises instructions that when executed cause said system to perform a method of automatic application recommendation, said method comprising:
- receiving a profile of a device, wherein said profile represents information specific to said device, wherein said profile comprises a determined pattern of use as determined on said device;
- comparing to similar profiles of other devices;
- transmitting a suggested application based on results of said comparing to said device;
- and
- updating an adaptive engine in response to changes in said profile, wherein said adaptive engine automatically executes said comparing and said transmitting.
