The first interaction design pattern library for internet of things user created applications

Abstract

In this paper, we report our analysis of extracting relevant existing and new interaction patterns that are candidates as enabling paradigms to facilitate Internet of Thing user created application building. We first define the context and underline what is an internet of thing user created application and what are the main research issues. We stress the focus on Interaction design as a must have paradigm to reach the Internet of thing user created application vision and highlight the research scope. In this paper we contribute with a template based interaction pattern that refers to competitive advantages and limitations with regard to our vision. The research method allowed us to sort out our first library of interaction pattern in this field. We conclude the paper with lab experimentation and lessons learned. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
