| Abstract;This paper describes a method for making personalized smart suggestions, in which context-adjusted and personalized activity-support information is provided. This method provides functions for evaluating how the current contextual information affects the user's activity and determining the best time for providing activity-support information to each user. We propose a general measure "motivation-indicator" for user-oriented context evaluation (e.g., level of burden, profit, and familiarity). We also discuss a self-tuning mechanism for personalization rules by analyzing how the behavioral response to the changing contextual information changes over time. The motivation-indicator provides a framework for analyzing whether or not activity-support information should be provided to a user in a specific context, which dispenses with the annoying procedure of pre-defining information-provision rules for each user. Thus our proposal has a beneficial effect on sharing context-based activity-support information among users without losing the personalization policy of each user. We have confirmed the feasibility of our method with a prototype. (author abst.) |
