Improving the user experience using an intelligent Adaptive User Interface in mobile applications
Saeed Raheel · 2016
nowadays, we witness an abundancy in mobile applications and a richness in their functionality. However, many of them were developed with insufficient attention when it comes to usability and user friendliness. As such, we may find one application's interface clogged with controls that hamper the user from using it properly or another's interface designed without taking care of universal usability. The result is that the user experience with different applications goes from being a total satisfaction to a total frustration. Very good care should be taken while designing mobile applications since the mobile phone are constrained with a limited screen size and a few interaction mechanisms. Adaptive User Interfaces (AUIs) were proposed in order to levitate the negative impact of these constraints and, as such, help improve the application's usability. In this paper, we propose a number of intelligent adaptive mechanisms capable of monitoring the user's behavior on a mobile phone and then adapting the interface accordingly. Our proposed mechanisms yield significant usability benefits and make the user's experience with this application more satisfying.
