A Method of Context-Driven HCI Service Selection in Multimodal Interaction Environments

Interaction migration system in multi-device and multimodal environment has recently been in the spotlight. Web-service based framework is raised to meet the requirements under such environment. In this paper, we propose a context-driven method of Human-Computer Interaction(HCI) service selection for web-service based interaction migration framework. We adopt service-oriented concept, which associates interactions with several services, and provide service selection mechanism to achieve interaction migration. Context-awareness is supported by collecting user and environment contexts and making proper reaction towards context change. Moreover, user history is utilized to form user preference which aids service selection process. We illustrate how our service selection method finds appropriate services in a typical smart home scenario.
