Design and Implementation of Notification Information Survey System and Survey Results Toward Use-Side Adaptive Notification Management

Many interrupt notification methods have been studied, but most of the existing research assumes that, except for the target application, the applications do not control the notification timing. However, if other applications are controlled by the same notification timing, interrupt timing will become concentrated and the effects of notification timing control may not be exerted. In addition, since the installed applications are different for each user, it is necessary to control notification timings while taking into consideration the behaviors of all the applications installed on a user's smartphone. In this research, we define notification timing control while considering the behaviors of all installed applications as “Adaptive Notification Management” and then conduct diversity surveys of notifications received by users. In this paper, we report on a system that acquires all notification information while excluding privacy data. We also report on experimental results using actual data collected using crowdsourcing and discuss how to realize the application realizing adaptive notification management.
