TL;DR

The influence of such a richer context model on the user interaction for both the capturing of context and the context-aware user/device interactions is discussed.

Abstract

Context in mobile tourist information systems is typically captured as the current location of the user. Few systems consider the user's interests or wider context of the sights. This paper explores ideas of how to model, observe, evaluate, and exploit a richer notion of context in this application area. We discuss the influence of such a richer context model on the user interaction for both the capturing of context and the context-aware user/device interactions.
