Context is the wide range of historic information collected and sensed from user's devices and surroundings. The data and its intelligent analysis in the device and cloud create a new class of user-central solutions like wellness and health; recommendation, social search and information retrieval; mobile finance and information market; and other context-based solutions.
Research, spread evenly across Beijing, Lausanne, Cambridge/UK, Palo Alto and Tampere, is focused on:
- Technology dimensions
- Sensing
- Infrastructure: Device and Cloud
- Data Intelligence
- Application areas
- Recommend, Search and Information Retrieval
- Wellness and Health
- Mobile Finance and Information Market
- Context-based Solutions
Teams working on Sensing and Data Intelligence include:
- Context Data Intelligence & Economics
