ABSTRACT
Although cell phones are extremely useful, they can be annoying and distracting to owners and others nearby. We describe sensing techniques intended to help make mobile phones more polite and less distracting. For example, our phone's ringing quiets as soon as the user responds to an incoming call, and the ring mutes if the user glances at the caller ID and decides not to answer. We also eliminate the need to press a TALK button to answer an incoming call by recognizing if the user picks up the phone and listens to it.

Use of mobile phones by male and female Greek students
Mobile technology is a continuously growing domain, and research activities regarding its use are quite intensive. A questionnaire regarding the use of mobile devices was developed and distributed to 416 students in a Greek University. There were completed ...
Lightweight material detection for placement-aware mobile computing
UIST '08: Proceedings of the 21st annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyNumerous methods have been proposed that allow mobile devices to determine where they are located (e.g., home or office) and in some cases, predict what activity the user is currently engaged in (e.g., walking, sitting, or driving). While useful, this ...
Drivers and moderators of consumer behaviour in the multiple use of mobile phones
This research aims at not only expanding the research contexts from technology adoption but also encompasses the uses of technologies and services on converged mobile phones. An empirical model is verified through a survey of 249 mobile users in ...
