In the new architecture, a client that desires access to a piece of hardware sends HTTP requests to a device server. The server receives a HTTP requests, accesses a device on behalf of the client, and send the device's response back to the client in the form of an HTTP response. This architecture has three primary advantages. First, it offers a clean interface for clients where all devices are accessed as if they are web servers. Second, it helps make devices more secure whereby clients can be prevented from accessing hardware directly, and all device access is forced through the narrow HTTP access protocol and checked for compliance with a desired security policy. Third, since HTTP allows local and remote servers to be contacted, the proposed architecture makes it easy for clients to communicate with devices that are not physically co-resident with the client but which are accessible via a network connection.

The described implementations relate to automatically performing device actions. One implementation can obtain a contextual value of a contextor. The implementation can decide, using a decision engine, whether to perform an action on a computing device based on the contextual value. In an instance when the decision engine decides that the action is to be performed, the implementation can perform the action on the computing device. The implementation can also update the decision engine using feedback related to the action. As a specific example, the action can be prelaunching an application before a user has requested to execute the application. Prelaunching the application can reduce application latency relative to waiting for the user to request to execute the application before launching the application.

The description relates to mobile device location. One example can identify global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellites expected to be in line-of-sight of a mobile device. This example can detect differences between received GNSS data signals and expected GNSS data signals from the expected GNSS satellites. The example can also determine a direction from the mobile device of an obstruction that is causing at least some of the detected differences.
