Minimizing mobile phone disruption via smart profile management

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the Smart Profile Management application that was designed to help minimize mobile phone disruptions. The system achieves the goal using a machine learning based algorithm that switches the phone profile automatically. A prototype was developed in Python for S60 and an informal usability test was run for a period of 7 days. Results show that a large proportion of profile suggestion changes were accepted by subjects, suggesting that such an application can in fact lower disruptions.
