Abstract

Lifestyle management solutions are of increasing interests due to the proliferation of mobile devices as well as wearables. The personalized nature of the recordings through such solutions, however, increasingly raises privacy concerns, particularly when relying on cloud-based storage. This paper presents our work on building a lifestyle management solution that not only addresses various privacy and control concerns at the design level but also incorporates key findings of user evaluations into the development of a refined mobile-based system.
