Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Editor's Notes
"BLE Beacons and You: Breaking the Internet of Things (IoT) Barrier"Personalized hyperlocal marketing with Bluetooth powered wireless beacons has blown up in recent years. This latest evolution in the Internet of Things allows retailers, venues and marketers to reach and target new and existing customers in ways never before possible. In this session with IoT and SEO expert Casey Markee learn about beacon technologies, case studies and best practices that will allow you to get off and running in 2016!
-Business can set up multiple Bluetooth Beacons within and around their store to broadcast its signal
-Beacons can pinpoint if customers are in range of its signal and their app/Passbook pass determines what to do when they inside that range
-For example, the app can be programmed to deliver a personalized message or coupon.

- There will be 26 billion connected devices around the world by 2020. This is a conservative estimate made by Gartner Research. That is a 30-fold increase over 2009 numbers.
Remember 2002’s “Minority Report” when Tom Cruise is running through the mall and getting virtually targeted by all those ads? That’s set in 2054 but similar targeting is already possible now.
This hyperlocal targeting is just the next evolution into what is called….
…convenience marketing!
What is that?
How do we practice “convenience marketing?”
Apple iBeacon = released 6/13
Facebook Beacons = released 6/15
Google Eddystone = released 7/15 – named after the Lighthouse in UK of the coast of Devon.
Yext Xone Beacons = released 9/15
BLE Beacons (Dedicated Beacons used to mark zones or areas for personalized targeting)
Apple iBeacon is the more popular choice…for now. And it does work with Android, however, since Eddystone is open source and offers cross-platform support for both iOS and Android, it has an edge over iBeacon, which works only with select compatible iDevices.
Check-out http://beaconstac.com/beacon-hardware-guide for a full review of individual beacons and price points.
Sensoro, etc.
Gimbal Series run $5 and have a 3-month battery and up to 50m range or you can go up to the Kontakt level and pay $79 for what is a six-year battery and a 200m range.

Beacons operate using Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Smart which is the latest iteration of the classic Bluetooth functionality that has been around since 1994.
Bluetooth and WIFI can both be used to power beacons but Bluetooth tends to have a pretty good stranglehold right now based on the low energy needed to operate. It also tends to go through walls, around corners and is just more “agile” than WIFI.
But the most important reason that Bluetooth seems to be the standard is this:
“Unlike WIFI which never asks for permission to connect, consumers must turn on BLE on their phones, allow location detection, and, if an app is used by the retailer, opt-in for notifications.”
That’s more customer-friendly.
Once a customer comes within about 100 feet of the device, they'll have access to place tips on Facebook. This "place tips on Facebook" pops up inside the Facebook app automatically.
Place Tips are only available on iOS devices. Place Tips may still appear via GPS on Android devices with Location Services on.
Place Tips appear at the top of your customer's News Feed while they're at your store, providing a valuable entry point to information about your business at highly relevant times.
Limited in that you can’t really push “custom offers.” It’s more to drive general awareness.
Big “Order Beacon” button available now and leads you to this page: https://www.facebook.com/business/a/facebook-bluetooth-beacons-imbed
There are some clear benefits thought:
-More reach: increase engagement and drive “likes.”
-More reviews: beacons will increase your reviews, especially if you “ask” for them.
-More influence: you can target and direct your fans/customers while in your locations. This can and will drive more sales.
Runs on the iBeacon Wireframe
the Yext Xone beacons require an app to use, you DO NOT just need to download the Yext app. Yext is setting up App Partnerships so that if you have any of these other apps installed, they will be able to "read" the Xone beacons and serve specific tailored notifications.
Yext has partnered with app developers to listen for the Xone beacon. If a consumer has the Xone-enabled app open and Bluetooth® enabled, an on-screen message will be triggered within the app.
Says they have 40+ apps that reach 30 million users currently – includes Mapquest, myTuner, QuakeFeed and some others.
- iBeacon transmits a UUID (16 digit string of numbers), Major (4 digits) and Minor (4 digits). That’s it. Nothing else. They aren’t mini-servers or tracking devices. Beacons themselves do not track anything. Apps do the tracking if that’s what they are programmed to do.
with the launch of iOS 7.1 Apple announced a game-changing improvement to iBeacon. Now, once an app is installed, it will “look” for beacons even if the app is shut down or a user has rebooted his/her phone
You can also use “Apple Passbook” to send push notifications - PassBook is a utility application on iOS devices which has the ability to tie-in with iBeacon technology
- iBeacon still very popular but losing ground daily to Eddystone
does not need a mobile app to send messages to smartphone users
Uses three different wireframes to send information, substantially more functionality.
- Google Now can provide increased contextual information (showing menu items when users sit down in restaurants)
- restaurants can push discount codes, and happy hour specials through URLs, these can be more personalized.
- integration with Google Maps provide real-time transit information and fast-access to real-time schedules
- museums and tourist attractions won't need docents or tour guides, information can be sent directly to the user via URL.
- asset tracking will be increased, you can attach beacons to your bags and track them at the airport - never lose a bag again!
NOTE: The only way Eddystone can work with a device that does not have a compatible app installed, is to transmit using the URL packet
How do you protect against hacking or someone putting up a beacon at the entrance to a sports arena and trying to inject malware? That’s where the EIDs come into play. Google created these to allow beacons to broadcast a signal that is only identifiable to ‘authorized clients’. To prevent such hacking/malware attacks.
Swirl platform is currently deployed at leading retailers throughout the U.S. and Canada, including Lord & Taylor, Marriot, Hudson’s Bay, Urban Outfitters, Alex & Ani, Kenneth Cole and Timberland stores.
Surveyed thousands of shoppers over a period of 3-months
It will double the range and quadruple the speed of low energy Bluetooth transmissions. But there’s more. Bluetooth 5 will also provide significant new functionality for connectionless services like location-relevant information and navigation.
The range of Bluetooth Smart will increase by up to four times, going up from current 50 metres limit to up to 200 metres. Furthermore, the organisation said that data speeds will double to 2Mbps from 1Mbps without making any compromise on energy consumption.
Right now beacons are in their infancy. There are less than 500,000 installed US-wide.
85% of the top 100 US Retail Locations will be equipped with Beacons by end of 2016
that’s about 3.5 million unique locations
Estimates for total beacon deployment continue to skyrocket. ProxBook says that worldwide there will be 400 million beacons by 2020.

Google's recent announcement of Eddystone support for Chrome browser on Android was hailed by business leaders as a game changer for the proximity marketing industry
The release of Android Chrome support for Eddystone enables 800 million additional users seamlessly to be able to interact with the Physical Web aka Eddystone-URL.
This is important because of the Physical Web. The Physical Web is a discovery service powered by bluetooth low energy beacons. Smart objects broadcast relevant URLs that any nearby device can receive.
It is now standard with Chrome and available on most of your smartphones. This uses the Eddystone URL wireframe to push out content.
- The Physical Web acts like a universal app that allows users to walk up to any device - a vending machine, a poster, a toy, a bus stop, a rental car - and get useful content via URLs.
App-powered developer SDI to register and deploy Eddystone beacons.
Quietly launched on 4/16 but rolled out fully at Google I/O in May.
http://newsvideo.su/tech/video/64496
The growth of this “Physical Web” is what is going to make things like the Digital Concierge a reality and make all of you in the audience MASTERS and meeting the needs of your customers.

Benefits for hotels:
Virtual check-in
Finding the room and indoor navigation
Keyless entry into rooms
In-room controls
Room service
Offers and loyalty programs
And of course, check-out

For shorter range, 15ft or less, the beacons last 3+ years.
For longer range, 50ft+, the beacons last 6-12 months.
Beacons powered by replaceable AA batteries.
In order to interact with the beacon, Bluetooth needs to be turned on and the customer needs to have the app downloaded on their phone. A beacon by itself does nothing. However, you can trigger a notification reminder to “turn on the bluetooth” with our Geofence feature.
NY-based Mobiquity Networks owns and operates the largest shopping mall‐based beacon advertising network in the U.S. This network is installed in mall entrances and common areas. It allows retailers to target customers without having to install and operate their own beacons.
It allows anyone to target over 50,000+ storefronts.
More beacon networks can be researched at ProxBook.com.
Key areas that you should take note while using a beacon network are the popularity (and adoption) of the app and the terms and conditions with regards to the data ownership (specific to your business).
It is always advisable to agree on mutual data ownership with the third party app, as the data mined can be used for strengthening your customer knowledge, online marketing and omni-channel strategy.
More beacon networks can be researched at ProxBook.com.
- If you are going to be using beacons you need to give your audience a “heads up.” Provide your target audience with full information and a review of the benefits so they can make an informed choice.
Are you providing a discount? A free product? Is the messaging worthwhile or just a “hey, we are cool and have beacons” message?
Black Friday as people are rushing through the store…probably not the “best” time. But as they are all lining up outside? Maybe.
Think through an in-depth scenario map of how you want your beacon to perform. When and where do you want that beacon to perform?

The average reaction rate to these notifications was just six percent across iOS and Android devices.
Quora is a great example of notification fatigue. Their apps used to send dozens of notifications a day in 2014. And if you had something go viral, you would receive a notification for each upvote which could be in the 100’s it was insane.
Fortunately, they revamped this in late 2014…these are issues you must be aware.
Make sure to link your beacon marketing strategy to print, digital, and email initiatives. Just like anything else, it should be coordinated and publicized.
