Diversity and End User Context in Smartphone Usage Sessions

Substitution in smartphone communication services

“…This indicates that the usage is quite diversified across the users in these datasets, i.e., there are lots of short usage times and a few extraordinarily long usage times. This diversity in smartphone usage has been previously observed in [23], for example. In the 2008 dataset this phenomenon is not visible, probably because the data collection software was different.…”

“…This way the users could also be segmented based on the portfolios, systems or service bundles as Bouwman et al [26] suggest. Furthermore, a study is underway, which utilizes the context detection algorithm used in [23] to study the usage of different communication services in different contexts.…”

Relevant Affect Factors of Smartphone Mobile Data Traffic

“…During their time in the office, the users will very often use their mobile devices to make calls or to check their schedule for the next meeting, while at home users mostly use their phones for surfing the web pages or watch movies [55]. The potential [9] value of context-sensitive information lies in the ability to predict potential difference in the user's behaviour and the usage habits depending on different user's contexts / situations [56,57].…”

Identification and Prediction of User Behavior Depending on the Context of the Use of Smart Mobile Devices

“…The information is extracted from data collected with the user's mobile devices by using a special purpose data collection platform. Information that can be used to describe the situation of the user includes a place derived from location data, time, and other people surrounding the user [17].…”
