As our interactions increasingly cut across diverse devices, we often encounter situations where we find information on one device but wish to use it on another device for instance a phone number spotted on a public display but wanted on a mobile. We conceptualise this problem as Select & Apply and contribute two user studies where we presented participants with eight different scenarios involving different device combinations, applications and data types. In the first, we used a think-aloud methodology to gain insights on how users currently accomplish such tasks and how they ideally would like to accomplish them. In the second, we conducted a focus group study to investigate which factors influence their actions. Results indicate shortcomings in present support for Select & Apply and contribute a better understanding of which factors affect cross-device interaction. text from a tablet to and applying it to a text field in a webpage on the screen; (b) a participant using of a Proximity technique to select information of an event shown on a public display and applying it to her calendar application.

“…They use different kinds of technologies to enhance objects and get their features: Bluetooth and RFID tags [20], Infra-Red (IF) tags read by smartphones [1] or by stylus and PDA (like GesturePen [21]), barcodes recognized by barcode readers (like AURA [4] and WebStickers [13]), 2D visual tags and smartphones [22]. In Cooltown [14], users get URLs containing thing's information by several types of active and passive emitters called "beacons" and can create a sort of simple pipe of two modules sending that URL to one printers or projector with and embedded web server.…”

Abstract. The Web of Things is an emerging scenario in which objects are connected to Internet and can answer to HTTP queries. To date, new applications in this field are mainly produced by designers and engineers while we claim that with simple and effective composition rules and easy-to-use building blocks, even users could invent new applications unforeseen by technology experts. In this paper, we describe a solution for modeling, implementing and running simple connections of smart things based on the point-click-and-compose paradigm. We envision a Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) where things are Web Services using WSDL standard and logical connections between things are modeled as Web Services orchestrations using the WS-BPEL language.

Abstract. This paper introduces "SyncTap", a user interface technique for making a network connection between digital devices. When a user wants to connect two devices, he or she synchronously presses and releases the "connection" buttons on both devices. Then, multicast packets that contain press and release timing are sent to the network. By comparing this timing with locally recorded one, both devices correctly identify each other. This scheme is simple but scalable because it can detect and handle simultaneous overlapping connection requests. It can also be used for making secure connections by exchanging public keys. This paper describes the principle, the protocol, and applications of SyncTap.
