Abstract

With the growth on the concern about context-aware applications, it becomes important to recognize and share user context. Even though there are some applications, it is still limited in managing simple contexts. In this paper, we propose a context-aware messenger application that exploits dynamic Bayesian networks to automatically infer a user's context and shares contextual information to enrich electronic communication. It collects various sensory information and displays representative user contexts such as emotion, stress, and activity in the form of icons in the messenger program.
