MYCOMAND Automotive User Interface: Personalized Interaction with Multimedia Content Based on Fuzzy Preference Modeling

摘要

My COMAND case study explores the vision of an interactive user interface (UI) in the vehicle providing access to a large variety of information items aggregated from Web services. It was created for gaining insights into applicability of personalization and recommendation approaches for the visual ranking and grouping of items, composed as interactive UI layout components (e.g. carousels, lists). Quick access to preferred and important items can support less distracting interaction with a large web-based content collections and smaller screen size. Content gets aggregated on the server and then synchronized to an onboard module. Ranking for each data item is annotated based on a user profiles with a fuzzy preferences and a shared taxonomy on content categories. Preference values are implicitly learned from user interaction, but can be set explicitly by the user too. A circular UI component for browsing Internet radio stations is described, which dynamically groups items into categories during scrolling. Items are ranked according to the users preferences and item novelty. A visual overview mode helps to quickly review the structure of large content collections.
