posted on 2006-01-01, 00:00 authored by Jeffrey Nichols, Brandon Rothrock, Duen Horng Chau, Brad A. Myers Systems of connected appliances, such as home theaters
and presentation rooms, are becoming commonplace in our
homes and workplaces. These systems are often difficult to
use, in part because users must determine how to split the
tasks they wish to perform into sub-tasks for each appliance
and then find the particular functions of each appliance
to complete their sub-tasks. This paper describes
Huddle, a new system that automatically generates task-based
interfaces for a system of multiple appliances based
on models of the content flow within the multi-appliance
system.
