Abstract :
Multimedia content in websites poses a variety of problems to mobile web users, such as content incompatible with mobile devices or failing to meet the accessibility needs of users with disabilities. This study proposes and evaluates a user-centered, device-aware approach to multimedia content adaptation for mobile Web to address those problems. It uniquely takes into consideration not only users´ preferences and accessibility needs, but also capabilities of multimedia support of individual mobile devices. Evaluation shows that the proposed approach is accurate and efficient. This study provides insights for research on context-aware mobile computing, adaptive interfaces, and mobile HCI.
