Using Context for Improving Human-Computer Interaction in Intelligent Spaces
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper we included some concepts and trends about diminishing the interaction complexity of an user with his equipments throughout an intelligent space. The intelligent space includes different equipments and software applications which offer information and adapt to the existent context in that environment. The increased importance of context and context-awareness in computing environments is due to dissemination of computers and sensors near the mobile users. The context can be seen on different levels, it being able to improving user interface and, also, for supplying of services adapted to existent context. As a case study on improving human-computer interaction, we depict a recent approach on an intelligent wireless connection of a terminal, owning multiple interfaces, to access points of some communications networks which are using different technologies. That connection is made without user intervention for selecting access points to that networks.
