Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for controlling a device's operation based on an inferred state. More specifically, at each of a set of time points, execution of an application at an electronic device is detected. For each detected execution, an application-usage variable is determined. One or more aggregated metrics are generated based on aggregation of at least some of the application-usage variables. Based on the one or more aggregated metrics, a state identifier is identified that corresponds to an inferred state of a user of the electronic device. A device-operation identifier is retrieved that is associated with the state identifier. A device operation is performed associated with the device-operation identifier.
