Intelligent Context-Aware and Adaptive Interface for Mobile LBS

Abstract

Context-aware user interface plays an important role in many human-computer Interaction tasks of location based services. Although spatial models for context-aware systems have been studied extensively, how to locate specific spatial information for users is still not well resolved, which is important in the mobile environment where location based services users are impeded by device limitations. Better context-aware human-computer interaction models of mobile location based services are needed not just to predict performance outcomes, such as whether people will be able to find the information needed to complete a human-computer interaction task, but to understand human processes that interact in spatial query, which will in turn inform the detailed design of better user interfaces in mobile location based services. In this study, a context-aware adaptive model for mobile location based services interface is proposed, which contains three major sections: purpose, adjustment, and adaptation. Based on this model we try to describe the process of user operation and interface adaptation clearly through the dynamic interaction between users and the interface. Then we show how the model applies users' demands in a complicated environment and suggested the feasibility by the experimental results.

The Concept and Technologies of Quality of Geographic Information Service: Improving User Experience of GIServices in a Distributed Computing Environment

“…For example, the information acquired from the access logs of web map applications reveal spatiotemporal distribution patterns of geographic objects and events in the physical world. These patterns of geographic related information have humanities and social contexts, which are important for finding group user preferences and helping users locate the matching GIServices [38]. Both QoS and QoGIS must take HCI into consideration for acquiring end-user feedback, but the emphasis in feedback analysis and extraction are quite different.…”

Smart Displays: Personalisation of Information Panels

“…However, we must consider that frequently changing user interface makes it less memorable and the cognitive load rises in case information is not served well. (Feng a Liu, 2015) Beside the user location, it is also useful to obtain information about user behaviour. Liu, Wu a Wang (2014) described a solution for recommending activities based on user movement and place of interests.…”

Context-Awareness and Mobile HCI: Implications, Challenges and Opportunities

“…The computer itself has a closed loop of information (context) processing characterized by executing behaviors implicitly. Much of the ongoing efforts to apply context-awareness to the interaction and interface design of mobile applications or services focus on improving the efficiency of HCI systems [3,4], [16]. Context-awareness is valuable in improving the instrumental or pragmatic user experience of mobile application and services by sensing, deciphering, interpreting and adapting to the contextual information automatically.…”

“…Since the term "context-aware" was first proposed to describe the computing ability "of a mobile user's applications to discover and react to changes in the environment to discover and react to changes in the environment they are situated in" [1], it has received extensive scholarly attention across the fields of ubiquitous (or distributed and pervasive) computing, ambient intelligence, artificial intelligence, internet of things and user interface [2,3,4,5,6,7]. More recently, due to advances in computing capabilities and sensor technologies, the concept of context-awareness has also found its way into a diversity of industrial applications like healthcare, mobile advertising, mobile learning, museum and tour guides, recommender system and virtual reality [8,9,10].…”
