Abstract
A context-aware information obtaining method and apparatus uses local service information. A communication apparatus may receive local service information associated with a location of the communication apparatus. The communication apparatus may interpret the local service information to generate context-aware information of the communication apparatus.
Claims15
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense context of a user of the communication apparatus and/or context around the communication apparatus;
- a processor configured to predict context-aware information about the user of the communication apparatus based on the sensed context;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive, from a server, local service information comprising information about at least one of a type and a title of a local service that is received by the communication apparatus,
- wherein the processor is further configured to process the local service information to improve an accuracy of the predicted context-aware information about the user of the communication apparatus based on at least one of the type and the title of the local service that is received by the communication apparatus.

A method of generating context-aware information, the method comprising:
- sensing, via a sensor, context of a user of a communication apparatus and/or context around the communication apparatus;
- predicting context-aware information about the user of the communication apparatus based on the sensed context;
- receiving local service information from a server, the local service information comprising information about at least one of a type and a title of a local service that is received by the communication apparatus;
- and
- processing the local service information to improve an accuracy of the predicted context-aware information about the user of the communication apparatus based on at least one of the type and the title of the local service that is received by the communication apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for executing a method, the method comprising:
- sensing, via a sensor, context of a user of a communication apparatus and/or context around the communication apparatus;
- predicting context-aware information about the user of the communication apparatus based on the sensed context;
- receiving local service information from a server, the local service information comprising information about at least one of a type and a title of a local service that is received by the communication apparatus;
- and
- processing the local service information to improve an accuracy of the predicted context-aware information about the user of the communication apparatus based on at least one of the type and the title of the local service that is received by the communication apparatus.
