Abstract

We propose a system for improving the answer rate to ESM inquiry to reduce the user's mental burden by detecting breakpoints in user's physical activity and pushing notifications in such timings. We conducted an in-the-wild user study with 30 participants for 4-days. The results revealed the effectiveness of breakpoint-based notification delivery. In the best case, 70.0% improvement in user's response time to notifications was observed at a transition to the user's activity from "walking" to "stationary".
