Abstract
Due to the ubiquity of mobile devices, mobile service interactions (e.g., agenda notifications) may occur in any situation, leading to potential obtrusiveness (e.g., while in a meeting). In order to effectively adapt interaction obtrusiveness to suit the user’s situation, the user’s different situations should be defined in an unambiguous, generic and fine-grained way, while being valid across previously unknown, dynamically discovered environments. To realize this, we put the user in charge of defining his own situations, and exploit rich, descriptive environment information for defining and determining user situations. Our concrete approach aligns and extends two approaches, namely AdaptIO and SCOUT, to autonomously adapt mobile interactions in new, dynamically discovered environments. We supply a mobile user interface for defining situations, and validate it via an initial study with end-users.
