Smarter Notifications
In the Internet of Things (IoT) world, we are under a constant stream of messages,
coming from various "smart objects" (e.g., thermostats, washing machines, weather
stations, activity trackers, drink trackers) and from different services and Social Network
(like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, e-mail, etc.). All these notifications may be interesting
by themselves, but taken together they risk to be a constant distraction and annoyance.
Moreover, they are "raw data", typically, from which we cannot immediately derive any
suggestion or pattern for personal improvements or for a better understanding of
some aspects of our life. Things become further complicated by the presence of "smart
objects" that are shared between groups of people or family members (like a TV or a
washing machine). Thus, data coming from such devices/appliances can affect multiple
persons and their behaviors.
We are working on a Smart Notification system, able to deliver the "right" notification,
to the "right" person (or people), in the "right" moment, according to users'
preferences, activities and to the notification characteristics.
