GroupUs: Smartphone Proximity Data and Human Interaction Type Mining

2011
Conference Papers

Abstract

There is an increasing interest in analyzing social interaction from mobile sensor data, and smartphones are rapidly becoming the most attractive sensing option. We propose a new probabilistic relational model to analyze long-term dynamic social networks created by physical proximity of people. Our model can infer different interaction types from the network, revealing the participants of a given group interaction, and discovering a variety of social contexts. Our analysis is conducted on Bluetooth data sensed with smartphones for over one year on the life of 40 individuals related by professional or personal links. We objectively validate our model by studying its predictive performance, showing a significant advantage over a recently proposed model.

Human–computer interaction

Human–computer interaction (HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways. A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "Human-computer Interface (HCI)".

Interaction design

Interaction design, often abbreviated as IxD, is "the practice of designing interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services." While interaction design has an interest in form (similar to other design fields), its main area of focus rests on behavior. Rather than analyzing how things are, interaction design synthesizes and imagines things as they could be. This element of interaction design is what characterizes IxD as a design field, as opposed to a science or engineering field.

Mobile interaction

Mobile interaction is the study of interaction between mobile users and computers. Mobile interaction is an aspect of human–computer interaction that emerged when computers became small enough to enable mobile usage, around the 1990s. Mobile devices are a pervasive part of people's everyday lives. People use mobile phones, PDAs, and portable media players almost everywhere. These devices are the first truly pervasive interaction devices that are currently used for a huge variety of services and applications.
