Building a Personal Memory for Situated User Support
Keeping a history of the user’s interaction with the
environment is of use for many reasons. However,
collecting, structuring, accessing, and reviewing such
potentially large amounts of information is not trivial. In
this paper we present our ideas for a memory model for
pervasive computing applications addressing these
questions. The proposed architecture allows applications to
deliver ad-hoc support taking into account the user’s history
and general attitudes as well as providing a personal diary
to review events and retrieve memories. We also include a
brief discussion of a novel user interface, which allows the
user to bind services to general contexts based on her
previous experiences.
