Adapting applications in mobile terminals using fuzzy context information

Abstract

Context-aware appliances are able to take advantage of fusing sensory and application specific information to provide proper information for situation, more flexible services, and adaptive user interfaces. Characteristic for mobile devices and their users is that they are continuously moving in several simultaneous fuzzy contexts. We present an approach for controlling context aware applications in the case of multiple fuzzy contexts. The design of controllers and experiments with real user data are presented. Experimental results show that the proposed approach enhances the capability of adapting information representation in a mobile terminal.
