Abstract

CHAPTER 1 1.1 MOBILENOTIFICATIONS Mobile phones represent an essential element of our lives by assisting us in several day-to-day activities. Since they are always connected to the Internet, mobile phones represent a unique platform for receiving or fetching information anytime and anywhere. This is leveraged by nu- merous mobile applications, such as email and instant messenger clients, VoIP (Voice over In- ternet Protocol) services, and social network platforms to provide their core functionalities. The key to success of such applications, which essentially provide access to a variety of informationchannels,istoensurereal-timeawarenessofusersaboutthedeliveredinformation. In order to ensure this, mobile operating systems facilitate the use of notifications (as shown in Figure 1.1) that steer users’ attention toward the delivered information through audio, visual, and haptic signals. This is indeed in contrast with the traditional paradigm of pull-based infor- mation retrieval and delivery in which the user has to initiate a request for the transmission of information.
