Predicting the future state of a mobile device user

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• receive an indication of a current mobile-device usage by a user;
• access information about one or more past user states of the user;
• select a future user state of the user based on a calculated probability of a possible future user state, wherein the possible future user state is calculated based on the current mobile-device usage and the past user states, wherein each of the past user states is weighted by a time decay factor;
• and
• adapt, at a future time corresponding to the selected future user state, the operation of a mobile device of the user.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive an indication of a current mobile-device usage by a user;
• access information about one or more past user states of the user;
• select a future user state of the user based on a calculated probability of a possible future user state, wherein the possible future user state is calculated based on the current mobile-device usage and the past user states, wherein each of the past user states is weighted by a time decay factor;
• and
• adapt, at a future time corresponding to the selected future user state, the operation of a mobile device of the user.
