“…These awareness cues about the user situation and environment were found to be very important when using a mobile phone. The smartphone contact list was extended [8,9] to provide additional contextual information cues such as the time spent in the current location, the phone alarm settings and other cues that are useful to give information about the availability of the user. The design of the awareness cues of [8] was based on social psychological findings whereas that of [9] was inspired by eight hypotheses among which are efficiency of accessing contacts, differentiation of important contacts and contacts as social piggy bank.…”

On the latter hypothesis, the authors were pointing out the need to take into account information that is related to the social relationships between contacts who are natural persons in the design of awareness cues.…”

Social relations are unquestionably the major provider of contacts in the mobile devices contact lists. However, they remain marginal in the literature of social software related to the contact list and are not at all integrated in its design. Inspired by African social and cultural practices, this paper is about a design of the contact list that integrates the social relationships existing between people in the real life. A desktop prototype of the proposed contact list designing allows to validate it. Illustrations of the developed application demonstrate the assets of the proposed contact list regarding issues such as contacts reminding/retrieval and homonymy resolving with respect to the real life. Additional capabilities of the proposed contact list reside in the creation of groups of contacts for group communications needs.

“…http://research.nokia.com/research/linkedui/ Studies have underlined the importance of the contact viewer for a mobile communication device [11]. In addition to allowing the user to call or send a message to a contact, the LinkedUI Contact View organizes and presents an update stream for an individual contact, as shown in Figure 3.…”

This paper presents the Linked Internet UI Concept, or LinkedUI for short, as a holistic user interface concept to facilitate social interaction on mobile devices. It aggregates social events from social networking services and communication channels and uses hypertext navigation for presentation and interaction. We describe the concept design principles, highlights of the design, and the prototype implementation. We conducted a user study to compare LinkedUI with the benchmark of web applications running in a web browser to follow their friends' activities in Twitter and Flickr and two other optional services on mobile devices. The study results reveal that the users performed tasks faster in LinkedUI and also liked it more than the benchmark. These findings support the design principles of LinkedUI in facilitating social interaction via mobile devices.

“…Among previous research, the work done by Jung, et al [2] serves as a good starting point. They proposed a novel contacts application to satisfy users' needs for efficiency of access, customization and personalization, assistance to social management, flexibility in organization, and accessing contacts information beyond their own.…”

In this paper we describe our research toward improving the current mobile contacts applications, which we found to lack important features that are essential to a fully satisfactory user experience. We identify the needs for a better user experience for organizing and searching, as well as looking for information from one's social network. We present the results of a user study that identified the problems with the current mobile contacts applications and propose tagging contacts and social network information sharing as the mechanism for improving their usability and usefulness.
