Abstract

In progressing ubiquitous computing where number of devices, applications and the web services are everincreasing, human user's attention is a new bottleneck in computing. This paper proposes Attelia, a novel middleware that senses user's attention status on user'ssmart phones in real-time, without any dedicated psycho-physiological sensors. To find better delivery timings of interruptive notifications from various applications and services to mobile users, Attelia detects breakpoint[16] of user's activity on the smart phones, with our novel "Application as a Sensor"(AsaS) approach and machine learning technique. Our initial evaluation of Attelia shows it can detect breakpoints of users with accuracy of 80 - 90%.
