Abstract

We propose a novel method and its implementation to support long-term idea-generation in everyday life. Our system consists of two components: a management system for problems and ideas named IdeaManager, and a personal information storage system named iBox. Considering input of information in iBox as a clue event for idea-generation, iBox searches related problems and ideas in IdeaManager and presents the result if any. Its aim is to support non-intentional idea-generation. In a long-term user study, we confirm the feasibility of our approach.
