Abstract

Mobile phones that currently cause interruptions by blindly allowing calls to ring at busy moments and inappropriate situations can be managed using context aware computing, ubiquitous computing, and the available sensors built into a modern handheld. This paper proposes the architecture of a system named Mobile Intelligent Interruptions Management (MIIM), created for the automated administration of personal unavailability with regard to cell phones. Here, we provide the description of the problem, desirable characteristics and architecture of such an interruption management system. The system is being simulated and the initial results show that MIIM's computational volumes are low enough for a mobile device. Platform support has been found in Google Android.
