Title:
SITUATION-AWARE PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/063072
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Information may be presented to a user in a way that reflects an awareness of the user's current situation. The relationship between user's situation, and various people and things, may be analyzed to determine the user's proximity to those people and things. (Proximity may refer not only to geographic proximity, but also temporal proximity, relevance proximity, etc.) A user interface may show people and things at different levels of proximity to the user's current situation, with the level of proximity being represented visually. The user may reposition the center of focus to one of the people or things depicted. When the center is repositioned, the level of proximity of people and things may be shown relative to the new center of focus, filtered based on existing relationships of those people and things to the user.
