Ambient 2013: Persuasion Mobility in Ambient Intelligence
The document discusses the concept of persuasion mobility, which aims to provide consistent persuasion even when a user changes environments. It involves persuasive software that can dynamically execute strategies using available sensors and actuators. Key aspects include context abstraction to maintain independence from specific devices, and coordinating actuation across a mobile user's changing environment. Future work involves realizing these requirements and evaluating the approach through combined research with psychologists.

Editor's Notes
- #4 In 2003 B.J Fogg coined the term Persuasive technology which has been described succinctly by Oinas-Kukkonen and colleagues as “Software or information systems designed to reinforce, change or shape attitudes or behaviors or both without using coercion or deception.” all kinds of technology can be persuasive since the definition just requires the intent at the moment of design. We are interested in digital technology and how it can maximize its persuasive effect. Two main factors have been described as relevant in maximizing persuasion in general, be it by technology or by person, and this would be to act in a persuasive manner at the right time and in the right place. This combination has been called “Kairos” after the Greek god of the favorable moment. One could also say, persuasion has to be attempted in the right context. Now, while all technology can be persuasive technology that is with us, in our environment and that we wont even notice unless it “intents” to communicate will clearly be more persuasive then technology like our PC at home, the box we are always aware of and that is not near us most of the time.
- #5 Developing such technology can be of great importance for our future. Right now health care costs all over the world are increasing as the health of many people is decreasing. Sedentary, and thereby unhealthy, jobs in offices are more common, overweight and back issues are just some of the problems. Persuasive technology can increase the likelihood of people acting right, taking breaks, walking more, eating right and behaving more health in general. It can also be a tool in education or in other areas of the civil society. The hope is to increase positive behavior and decrease costs. Since users are not to be coerced or deceived persuasive technology, if done right, increases the control users have over how technology influences them.
- #6 Aarts and Colleges have given persuasion in the smart space a name, the call it ambient persuasion. In this paradigm, which is based on the paradigm of ambient computing (which in term takes much of its influence from Mark Weisers Ubiquitous computing) persuasion is done by context aware, networked devices. Ambient Computing is a user centered approach to the use of ubiquitous, networked devices to generate applications in intelligent spaces that suit the users needs, fulfill services that where already needed. Some examples are “Ambient Assisted Living”, “Smart Offices” and “Smart Homes”. This means that these devices have an understanding of the where and the when and probably the how of their persuasive act. They are part of a smart environment and they deliver content to the user that is designed to persuade him or her.
- #7 Currently the development in ambient persuasion can be divided into two groups. One group is the installation of persuasive technology into a fixed smart space, the other is using mobile devices. Persuasion on mobile devices (which today usually means smart phones) has certain advantages as it provides A device that is constantly connected to service providers like the healthcare provider or social networks from which data relevant to the persuasion can come Access to sensors which can infer local context, which increases the chances of persuading at the right time and in the right moment Privacy due to the size and nature of the device, which is usually owned and used by only one person Reachability as the user usually takes the phone with him/her, thus the user can be reached when the right time and place is.
- #8 However, while the smart phone offers an interesting additional device it has, as an actuator in persuasive technology, certain disadvantages.
