Abstract

Systems and methods for providing a context-based user interface include obtaining one or more contextual factors associated with an electronic device; predicting context information in accordance with the one or more contextual factors; and formatting a user interface on the electronic device in accordance with the predicted context information. In some implementations, formatting the user interface on the electronic device in accordance with the predicted context information includes: selecting, in accordance with the predicted context information, a first set of applications; and formatting for display to the user the first set of applications as part of a user interface of the electronic device; and formatting the user interface includes: selecting, in accordance with the predicted context information, a second set of applications; and forgoing display to the user the second set of applications as part of the user interface of the electronic device.
