Abstract
The invention relates to determining a context of a system so that the system can be controlled or the context information be used in the system. The context of a system is described with tags or words that characterize e.g. the state of the system, the surroundings of the system and the state of the user. These tags are determined at multiple time instances. The tags are collected over a first time span and a second time span, and the two (or more) sets of tags are used to determine the context of the system. If the determination using the two sets gives a different result, that is, there is a large distance between the two derived contexts, it is determined that a change in context has occurred. Detecting the change in context can be used to control the system, e.g. by changing the applications presented to the user on the user interface, or by changing the state and/or priority of applications.
