The Internet of Things is increasingly becoming a part of our daily life. With popular task automation or IoT platforms such as If This Then That (IFTTT), users are able to define rules to enable interactions between smart devices in their environment and thereby improve their daily lives. However, rules authored by users on these popular task automation or IoT platforms are often tied to the platform or even to the specific devices for which they have been configured, implying a vendor lock-in for users. Therefore, switching to a different task automation or IoT platform or the introduction of new devices might demand for a re-creation of the rules that are specific to the new platform and devices. In order to address this problem, we need human-computer interaction that works across IoT platforms, in particular with the proliferation of IoT services in domains such as smart health where a user's quality of life might depend on an uninterrupted service offered by a platform. In this paper, we propose an architecture to enable implicit human-computer interaction across IoT platforms by introducing the necessary concepts providing users ownership and control over their IoT data and rules.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
