Method apparatus and systems for enabling delivery and access of applications and services
View Patent ↗The invention provides a system, a method and a computer program product that facilitate access to one or more applications by a computing device. The invention includes determining one or more contexts associated with at least one of the computing device and a user of the computing device, such that the one or more contexts describe at least one of an environment and an activity of the at least one of the user and the computing device. Thereafter at least one contextual tag corresponding to the one or more contexts is generated. Subsequently, the one or more applications associated with the at least one contextual tag are identified and the computing device is enabled to access the one or more applications.

a. enabling a determination of an audio-visual content comprising at least one or more of a sample of an audio content and a sample of a visual content, wherein said determination is enabled due to at least a capture of a portion of a one or more of the sample of the audio content and the sample of the visual content, by at least a one or more sensors associated with said generator device;
b. determining a tag related information based on at least a portion of one or more of:
the sample of the audio content;
the sample of the video content;
c. enabling transmission of at least said tag related information on a communication interface associated with said generator device, wherein said transmission enables a one or more computing devices to at least:
i. determining a first contextual tag, wherein said first contextual tag comprises information determined based on at least a portion of said tag related information;
ii. determining an application identification information based on at least
a portion of said first contextual tag, said application identification information
identifying an application, wherein at least a portion of at least one of said application and said application identification information can be one or
more of identified, determined and selected based on at least a portion of information in an application repository, said application repository allows
data associated with at least one or more of an application and an application identification information to be:
i. added to said application repository;
ii. updated in the said application repository;
iii. modified in the said application repository;
iv. deleted from said application repository;
iii. enabling an activation of said application, wherein said activation
comprises enabling a first execution of a second set of instructions associated with said application;
d. receiving a first plurality of information on said communication interface associated with said generator device;
e. determining, based on at least a portion of said first plurality of information, at least a one or more of:
i. a second contextual tag; and
ii. a context value:
f. determining a third set of instructions based on at least a portion of said second contextual tag; and
g. enabling a second execution of at least said third set of instructions on said processor associated with said generator device, wherein said second execution enables said processor to at least one or more of processing and accessing at least a portion of said context value.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein said context value comprises at least a portion of at least one or more of:
i. a URL;
ii. a URI;
iii. an audio content;
iv. a visual content; and
v. an audio-visual content.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein at least one or more of accessing and executing a set of instructions by said processor, further enables said generator device to at least determining a media content based on at least a portion of said context value.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 3 , wherein at least one or more of accessing and executing a set of instructions by said processor, further enables said generator device to at least playing at least a portion of said media content on at least one or more of:
an audio output device associated with said generator device;
a display associated with said generator device; and
an audio-visual device associated with said generator device.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein at least one or more of accessing and executing a set of instructions by said processor, further enables said generator device to at least:
i. determining a second plurality of information based on at least a portion of said first plurality of information; and
ii. enabling display of at least a portion of said second plurality of information on an output device associated with said generator device.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein said non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is associated with one of a smart phone, a tablet, a smart device, a mobile device, a laptop, a desktop, a server computer, a media player, an audio player, a video player and a gaming console.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein said communication interface is one of a:
a. wired communication interface;
b. wireless communication interface;
c. Bluetooth communication interface;
d. cellular communication interface;
e. RF communication interface; and
f. Wi-Fi communication interface.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein said generator device comprises at least a one or more of:
a. an accessory for said generator device;
b. an audio device;
c. a display;
d. an audio speaker;
e. a headphone set;
f. a microphone;
g. a computer-readable storage medium; and
h. a communication interface.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said one or more computing devices is determined by a web service on the internet.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein at least one of said one or more computing devices is one of one or more communicatively associated computer devices.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein said first contextual tag comprises information determined based on at least a portion of a second plurality of information, wherein said second plurality of information is determined by at least a one or more communicatively associated computer devices.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein at least said second plurality of information comprises information received by said computing device on a communication interface associated with said computing device.
