US Patent 10057115 Device resource management based on contextual planning

Technologies for resource management include a mobile computing device configured to communicate with a resource database server. The mobile computing device determines a future context and sends a request to the server for resource information associated with a location defined by the future context. The server determines resources located at the location and sends the requested resource information to the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device automatically configures itself to use the resources. The mobile computing device may automatically download and configure device drivers for the resources. The resources may include printers, displays, and network connections. The resource information may be provided by third-party resource providers. The resource database server may provide recommendations, including travel information recommendations. The mobile computing device may monitor its current context and enable the resources at the location or notify a user of the availability of the resources.
