Abstract

The incredible appeals of smartphones and the unprecedented progress in the development of mobile and wireless networks in recent years have enabled ubiquitous availability of myriad media contents. Consequently, it has become problematic for mobile users to find relevant media items. However, context awareness has been proposed as a means to help mobile users find relevant media items anywhere and at any time. The contribution of this paper is the presentation of a context-aware media recommendation framework for smart devices (CAMR). CAMR supports the integration of context sensing, recognition, and inference, using classification algorithms, an ontology-based context model and user preferences to provide contextually relevant media items to smart device users. This paper describes CAMR and its components, and demonstrates its use to develop a context-aware mobile movie recommendation on Android smart devices. Experimental evaluations of the framework, via an experimental context-aware mobile recommendation application, confirm that the framework is effective, and that its power consumption is within acceptable range.
