Enabling cross-device interaction with web history

Published: 10 April 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Internet-enabled personal devices are growing in number. As people own and use more devices, sharing information between devices becomes increasingly important. Web browsing is one of the most common tasks, thus sharing web history is a first step in supporting cross-device interaction. Current methods of sharing web history involve manual, cumbersome methods. This paper explores a system to automatically synchronize web information among a user's personal devices, and optimize the interface to support mobile users. We describe a system that enables users to quickly find directions on their mobile phone based on past web searches, and seamlessly share favorite web pages between their personal devices.
