About CBDP
“CBDP – Context Based Digital Personality. “Within the next decade, as digital technologies become increasingly pervasive, we might find ourselves living with almost invisible, intelligent interactive systems – an ‘Ambient Intelligence’ – that will form part of our everyday existence and ecology. The implications of this development are far reaching for individuals, businesses and communities. Ambient Intelligence could lead to great opportunities. But as with all new technologies, we know that the technology itself is neither good nor bad. It is how we might use it that makes the difference. The main challenge at this moment is to guarantee that the new Ambient Intelligence technologies are appropriate, sustainable and meet people’s individual and social needs.”
Devices’ UI are becoming increasingly complicated (more functions/more interfaces) which increases the challenge for configuring and controlling them for home users, office users and professional devices installers. The CBDP project suggests creating a digital personality which eases this task by linking the digital personality of the user to the different devices and making runtime updating of the behavior of the different devices.
Digital Personality as proposed in this project refers to the capability of capturing in digital form personality characteristics of people. By personality characteristics we are referring both to physical related so as to psychological conditions of people. The objective is to parameterize the user preferences according to a hierarchical categorization, that will be defined in the project, in her/his digital personality, the services to be offered and the actuators to act on.
The user’s information received from the sensors will be sent to the hosted digital personality in order to be processed taking into account those preferences to generate the data, in order to allow providers to offer services and to be sent to the different actuators. The digital personality will be a unique real identification for each person with information about preferences, tastes, the sensors that we allow collecting information from us and the actuators where the preferences can be applied.
When we are talking of Context Based Digital Personality, we are considering different contexts, home domain, building sites and mobile services provision. But the project solution is applicable to any context in which there is an intercommunication need among people and devices.
The solution proposed focuses in the creation of the Digital Personality based on single or group of people. When there is a group of people, reasoning mechanisms defined will take into account the individual digital personalities and will provide the adequate environment that benefits the majority.
