In their
view, the situational context comprises:
- Identity [presumably of the user]
- spatial information (e.g. location, orientation, speed and acceleration)
- temporal information (e.g. time of the day, date, and season of the year)
- environmental information (e.g. temperature, air quality, and light or noise
level)
- social situation (e.g. who are you with, and people that are nearby)
- resources that are nearby (e.g. accessible devices, and hosts)
- availability of resources (e.g. battery, display, network, and bandwidth)
- physiological measurements (e.g. blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate,
muscle activity, and tone of voice)
- activity (e.g. talking, walking, and running)
- schedules and agenda settings
To which I would add "historical/background"
information about the user and others:
- user, and others who the user has interacted with (e.g. past activities,
preferences, experiences, purchases and so forth)
- social interactions (e.g. past communications, agreements, activities and so
forth)
Plus related information such as:
- information about the user's plans and the user's social group's plans
(e.g. a shopping list, project goals).
- information about the things, people, circumstances, locations etc.
that impacts the user's perception of the situation (e.g. knowing that
the collapsing friend has been diagnosed with epilepsy)
