SmarterPhone - Supporting Meetings in a Mobile Context

摘要

We must deal with growing amounts of information, leading to organizational and retrieval problems. This is particularly true in a mobile context. We describe how to proactively present the users with information relevant for a meeting, in a mobile context, based solely on the personal information available in their computers. We performed a study where 100 users were asked about what makes some information important for a given meeting, leading to the creation of SmarterPhone, a mobile application whose interface was crafted to enable users to efficiently access personally relevant information in a particular context. A user study showed that on average 80% of all relevant documents and people are found, demonstrating the validity of our approach and underlying relevance criteria.
