Abstract

The user interfaces for mobile devices generally have space and entry restrictions. These restrictions often limit both the usage and usefulness of many mobile applications. The Context Reactive User Experience (CRUSE) is a user interface framework enabling the delivery of applications and services to mobile users in a standard usable form. CRUSE is designed to both maximize the amount of useful information presented to a user, and to minimize the difficulty the user has in accessing information missing from the user interface. At any given time CRUSE takes available context, user preferences and user behavior to present options that have the most likelihood of being selected by the user. Such a prediction cannot be foolproof at all times therefore it is augmented by a natural language text box.
