New platforms and mobile devices are constantly coming to the market but, in an effort to attract more public, several manufacturers incorporate special features into their models, resulting in a lack of uniformity among them. Thus, devices present different processing, memory, storage, communication and displaying capabilities. This heterogeneity causes that the application development process becomes...
The paper introduces an approach to automatically recognize people's activity patterns within an “intelligent” building. We envisage a model of interactions with a smart phone and building. Various sensors in smart phone enable to recognize daily routine of people's activities automatically in building. The smart phone application; `Activity Pattern Recognition in Mobile Environment (APRiME)' recognized...
Microcontent is the prime resource and valuable asset of Web 2.0, rapid development of Mobile Commerce (MC) has enhanced the operational functionalities requirement among Mobile terminals, Servers, Knowledge Bases and other participants in many Web 2.0 applications, consequently making Micro content Management incompetent in the world of distributed environment. This issue gets further complicated...
The quality of interaction with a mobile website is arguably influenced by the prevailing conditions of use. The characteristics of the latter have not been sufficiently addressed in HCI literature yet, partly because they cannot be easily controlled in a usability study. Drawing on multidisciplinary theories, we propose a model hypothesizing on the effects of environmental context on the usability...
Smart meeting rooms are one of the most exciting applications in context-aware computing. This is of no surprise since context awareness plays a significant role in the domain of implicit human computer interaction, such as meetings, as context is tightly correlated to the analysis of human actions and intentions. In this paper we present a context aware meeting room. It works by integrating the mobile...
Trust is an important concept in human interactions which facilitates the formation and continued existence of functional human societies. In the first decade of the 21st century, computational trust models have been applied to solve many problems in wireless communication systems. This cross-disciplinary research has yielded many innovative solutions. In this paper, we examine the latest methods...
The interdisciplinary field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), having barely matured past its adolescent shoes, now faces the challenge of meaningfully integrating Mobile Human Computer Interaction (MHCI). MHCI however, when viewed as an emerging independent discipline, does not have the luxury to leisurely plod along. Amid the great diversity of initiatives and interactions, the challenge is to...
This paper describes concepts, design, implementation, and performance evaluation of a 3D-based user interface for accessing Ambient Intelligence Environments (AmIE). The generic interaction model of the described work addresses some major challenges of Human-Environment-Interaction such as cognitive overload and manual device selection, loss of user control, missing system image or over-automation...
A major research challenge in the IT domain nowadays is to enable new experiences by building intelligent spaces around users, enhanced by pervasive computing services. The European FP7 Project PERSIST (personal self-improving smart spaces) is investigating a novel approach to meet this challenge. PERSIST aims to define an ecosystem on top of which novel pervasive services can be built. This paper...
With appearance of mobile devices such as cell phones, PDAs and smart phones, context-aware applications are becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, developers are always seeking for new and powerful developing tools for context-aware programming. Developers prefer to use fast and convenient development tools that can support all required possibilities for implementing a complete and user-friendly...
User interface is one of the main challenges for designing mobile application. The importance of user interface is all about to retain user's loyalty which can be gained by offer user friendly interface and usability. The research focus on main issues of designing mobile application which is "how to display all the information and elements on the small screen of mobile device?". This research...
Mobile computing has experienced a rapid growth and there are nowadays many applications being developed. According to the literature, many of these applications are designed for collaborative work or learning and share the same requirements: they implement a peer-to-peer communication architecture, there are subgroups inside the group of participants which have to work together and coordinate with...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of death in Western world. Furthermore, an aging population will result in increased chronic condition prevalence in the future. Ambient Intelligence (AmI) allows users to benefit from an enormous variety of user-centered services to improve their quality of life and self manage their chronic conditions. Novel collaboration methods are essential with...
The popularity of consuming multimedia content on mobile phones is increasing more and more, not only because of the availability of the technical infrastructure, but also because of the mobility in modern society. We are developing a mobile multimedia streaming application. The crucial factor for such applications in order to be adopted and successful is user acceptance. This paper presents the preliminary...
