Adamos menu: Towards adaptive service selection

The amount of mobile services in terms of smartphone applications and mobile Internet pages continues to grow. To use them, one needs to find a suitable service for current task and select (start) the service. The current user interface solution for accessing services is based on a graphical menu, which cannot create good user experience if the amount of services being viewed is high. Since the need for services varies between user, usage situation and time, adaptation and personalization are expected to give some relief. We approach the problem from user experience point of view, and describe our current prototype for adaptive service selection, the Adamos Menu, which is capable for adapting service shortcuts based on location. We conducted a field test with 14 users, where users showed positive interest to adaptation and gave valuable information for improvements.
