A location-adaptive human-centered audio email notification service for multi-user environments

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an application for a discreet notification of mobile persons in a multi-user environment. In particular we use the current user position to provide a personalized email notification with non-speech audio cues embedded in aesthetic background music. The notification is done in a peripheral way to avoid distration of other people in the surrounding. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
