Abstract

A method and system for context sensing is described herein. The method includes determining if sensor data obtained via a number of sensors exceed a predetermined threshold. The method also includes increasing a sampling rate of any of the sensors to obtain context data corresponding to a computing device if the sensor data exceed the threshold. The method further includes analyzing the context data to classify a context of the computing device.
