Context-Aware Computing
Context-Aware Computing refers to technology that can sense and respond to its environment and user context. This means devices can adjust their behavior based on factors like location, time, and user preferences. For example, a smartphone might automatically switch to silent mode when it detects that the user is in a meeting.
This type of computing enhances user experience by providing relevant information and services tailored to specific situations. Smart home devices and wearable technology often utilize context-aware computing to optimize functionality, making everyday tasks more efficient and personalized.
