Context-Aware Informative Display

People have the desire to be always informed by the information to their importance everywhere and anytime. However, for some casual and relaxing occasions such as in home environment, information access and exhibition should be offered in a non-distracting and non-disruptive manner. To facilitate this goal and make use of embedded displays in smart home environments, this paper proposes a framework, i.e., context-aware informative display which offers a novel design for information representation catering for home and shared space users. The system architecture and techniques used are illustrated in details. Lastly, a prototype with several user cases is described to prove the workability of the framework.
