Abstract

The development of computing technology affects the environmental change of residential area a lot in a many ways. In other words, we believe that Ubiquitous computing technology will change our very vision of our homes. The most distinct phenomenon of Ubiquitous environment is that the number of personal computers will increase mainfold. That means in the near future we will coexist with computers in routine life and people will have more computers to manage. In terms of User Interface, the interaction between systems and users in home-network environment should step up the next level which is different from present method of using computer. Therefore, Ubiquitous environment should be embodied for people and it must be started with understanding users and grasping sophisticated and fundamental needs of them. In this research study, we have attempted to give shape to ‘Method to Analyze User Behavior’ to make embodiment of user interface in Ubiquitous environment by considering and analyzing user’s behavior patterns. With this aim, we have extracted contexts at home from a case study and will suggest analyzing method by classifying data of the study.
