Dynamic Context-aware Adaptation of Mobile Phone incoming Call Indication Using Context Similarity

Mobile phones are the most ubiquitous communication devices. The incoming call indication service is sometimes provided in an inappropriate form (e.g. ring tone when user is in a classroom, when driving, sleeping, etc.). User's context changes very often because of the mobility. It is very inconvenient to always keep the settings of the mobile device up to date, to the current context. In this paper, we propose a context-aware incoming call indication adaptation based on context similarity. The approach consists for a particular context to look for the nearest known context and adapt the service indication of incoming calls in the same way.
