From devices to tasks: automatic task prediction for personalized appliance control
2004
Personal and Ubiquitous Computing
want to use next, we present a method for automatically discovering the user's common tasks (e.g., watching a movie, or surfing TV channels), predicting the task that the user wishes to engage in, and ...
Finally, we show that tasks can vary from user to user. ...
Modeling tasks instead of appliances makes it possible to compose commands and tasks automatically in response to the resource constraints of our remote controls. ...
