Abstract :
Context awareness has been an intensive focus of many researchers to develop applications for smart devices like smart phones and tablets. Researchers are working in this domain for more than one decade and many applications have been developed to demonstrate and exploit potential of context awareness. It is a never ending process because of rapid developments in capabilities of these hand held smart devices. Many researchers exploited online context awareness computing which creates direct dependence on internet. Our aim is to utilize contexts to ease user´s task and hence full fill their needs without depending on internet. This paper presents an innovative and noble approach to impart offline context awareness computing in smart devices. An android application is developed that uses offline context engine with the help of defined context analyzers such as call analyzer, media analyzer etc. to show important reminders without taking any input from users. This application makes smart devices more intelligent and helps user in reminding his / her task. The application analyzes offline data in user´s device in order to get its input which will be processed by offline context engine. The application extends time and location based awareness parameters and helps in reminding users for their important events through other context aware parameters such as analyzing calls, media, events, emails and app usage.
