Abstract

Ubiquitous computers, such as mobile devices, enable users to always be connected to the environment, making demands on one of the most precious resources of users: human attention. Thus, ubiquitous services should be designed in a considerate manner, demanding user attention only when it is actually required according to user needs. However, as user needs and preferences can change over time, we aim at improving the initial decisions by learning from user's feedback through experience. We present a method for adapting interaction obtrusiveness automatically based on user's reaction. Instead of asking the user to re-define his preferences about interaction obtrusiveness configurations, we learn them by means of the received feedback in a way that maximizes user's satisfaction in a long-term use.
