Abstract

comMotion is a location-aware computing environment which links personal information to locations in its user's life; for example, comMotion reminds one of her shopping list when she nears a grocery store. Using satellite-based GPS position sensing, comMotion gradually learns about the locations in its user's daily life based on travel patterns. The full set of comMotion functionality, including map display, requires a graphical user interface. However, because it is intended primarily for mobile use, including driving, the core set of reminder creation and retrieval can be managed completely by speech.
