Context determination for mobile devices when accessing remote resources

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to:

• compare current values for one or more context dimensions to data indicative of relationships between accesses to resources maintained by a remote computing device and values for the one or more context dimensions during the accesses;
• determine one or more of the resources maintained by the remote computing device that have a high probability of being accessed based on the comparison;
• and
• cause a mobile device to obtain information indicative of the determined one or more resources based on the determination that the one or more resources have the high probability of being accessed.

A mobile device comprising:

• a network interface configured to send and receive data via a network;
• a context determination unit configured to compare current values for one or more context dimensions to data indicative of relationships between accesses to resources maintained by a remote computing device and values for the one or more context dimensions during the accesses and to determine one or more of the resources maintained by the remote computing device that have a high probability of being accessed based on the comparison;
• a data retrieval unit configured to obtain, via the network interface, information indicative of the determined one or more resources based on the determination that the one or more resources have the high probability of being accessed;
• a memory comprising instructions for a plurality of native applications and a native application simulator;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions for at least one of the native applications to access the determined resources that are accessible by the native applications, and to execute the instructions for the native application simulator to access the determined resources that are not accessible by the native applications.
