Human-Computer Interaction in Ubiquitous Computing Environments

In pervasive computing environments computers are embedded into everyday environment to provide computations everywhere at any time. Pervasive computing assists us in our everyday lives, functioning invisibly and unobtrusively in the background and freeing people to a large extent from tedious routine tasks. Pervasive computing will require the nature human-computer interaction methods to interact with small distributed and often embedded devices. By analyzing the various technologies for natural human-computer interaction, a framework of human-computer interaction based on multimodal interaction is put forward combined with the pervasive computing characteristics. The framework integrates the context information into user multichannel input information and processes them in a whole. The framework improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction and meets the natural, intelligent interaction requirements.
