Abstract

As pervasive computing is developed, a user's context information will be used in a system to provide the user with intelligent services. Context is defined as information that characterizes the situation of an entity under a certain system environment. In this paper, we classify the context in a system into three types: user context, device context, and proximity context, which is the context information between a user and device. We designed HIML (Human Interaction Markup Language) to express the proposed contexts, and the middleware performed on various platforms, including a NUI/NUX (Natural User Interface/Natural User eXperience) platform, and interacted between appliances and sensors using HIML. We demonstrated its functions through experiments.
