2. What we did...
•
Developed an approach to detect the day-
to-day ‘routines’ by logging the smartphone
application usage and locations
•
Developed an algorithm to process and
analyze the logged usage data into
identifiable patterns
•
Implemented a smartphone
application with a functionality
to create automated ‘tasks’ out
of the identified patterns
•
Conducted a two-week user
study to analyze the approach
and to receive user feedback
