Abstract

The main purpose of a given smart meeting room is to increase the efficiency of the meetings taking place in this room by assisting the resident actors performing their tasks and thus offering them the opportunity to focus on the exchange of information among each other. However, a proper assistance should be based on a clear understanding of the nature of tasks the users are performing in the environment. Therefore, in this paper we present an attempt to base the design of the assistive system to be operated in smart meeting rooms on activity patterns collected in the analysis stage and resulting from the perception of the human behavior in those environments. The end goal is to tailor individualized user interfaces for each actor depending on his/her current role and user profile.
