Abstract

The world we live in provides excessive amounts of information everywhere we go. Small walk on the downtown shows that streets are filled with advertisements, store windows contain data about products and a screen on broadcasting company building shows the latest news. To provide meaningful information for the people near the information screen, the contents of the news screen should be dynamic and take into account what type of information the users are interested in. This paper presents a concept of a news screen that is aware of the interests of the people in its proximity. The awareness is accomplished by fetching the preference information from the mobile devices of the people nearby the service. The information is used for deciding what kind of sport results are shown on the screen
