  2. Outline • Abstract • Introduction • Contribution • Related works • Field work summary • Design principles • conclusion

  3. Abstract • smart home researchers focused on the concept of control. • Allow users to gain control over their lives • activities and routines do not map well to • programming tasks. • End-user programming ultimately provides control of devices. • suggest seven design principles that will help end-user programming systems deliver that control.

  4. Jigsaw (Humble et al, 03) Micro Commander (Jahnke et al, 02) Speakeasy (Newman et al, 02) CAMP (Truong et al, 04) Focused on device control: visually, verbally  what you can do with the system; not what the system can do for..

  5. CURRENT RESEARCH Anthropological Perspective Technical Perspective Smart home control systems provide control ofdevices Families are struggling to gain control of their lives How can smart home control systems help users regain control of their devices families lives

  6. CURRENT RESEARCH Families are struggling to gain control of their lives Technical Perspective Anthropological Perspective Smart home control systems provide control of devices How can smart home control systems help users regain control of their devices families lives

  7. CONTRIBUTIONS • Recast the problem of smart home control • Suggest new evaluation metrics for smart home control systems • Provide rich description of nuanced notion of control • Produce design principles to serve as signposts

  8. RELATED WORK BUSYNESS AS A MORAL GOOD • Increased obligations of dailylife • Context switching across roles (home/work) • A skill parents want to gracefully master • Parents want to pass this skill on their children

  9. RELATED WORK LESS THAN IDEAL CONTROL • Busyness leads to stress • Managing busyness is tough, if fails..A “house of cards” • “The rush hour of life” • Fear of the sick child

  10. RELATED WORK IMPLICATIONS • We could use this knowledge to develop tools that help families do less. • Systems for family life control will have to co-exist with busyness

  11. FIELDWORK SUMMARY Goal: develop an opportunity map for technology to aid families 12 dual-income families Dual-income families: Large audience, representing 46% of the US population Lots of needs, early adopters

  12. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS • “Wicked problem”* of activity management(= main source of family busyness) • Flexibility as a coping strategy • Relationship between control and flexibility • Activities construct (individual/family) identity

  13. FINDINGS “WICKED” PROBLEM OF ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT

  14. EXAMPLE GAME OR PRACTICE? HOME OR AWAY? WHAT TIME?

  15. EXAMPLE WHO PICKS UP? WHO DROPS OFF? WHERE?

  16. EXAMPLE SHIN GUARDS, KNEE PADS. CLEATS OR FLATS?

  17. EXAMPLE PRACTICE UNIFORM? HOME OR AWAY UNIFORM?

  18. EXAMPLE CLEAN CLOTHES THE NIGHT BEFORE

  19. EXAMPLE JUICE BEFORE OR AFTER? ORANGES AT HALFTIME?

  20. EXAMPLE LOST ON THE CALENDAR

  21. BREAKDOWNS LAST MINUTE CARPOOL DECISIONS

  22. BREAKDOWNS MOM’S OUT OF TOWN SO DAD’S IN CHARGE

  23. BREAKDOWNS MOM’S OUT OF TOWN SO DAD’S IN CHARGE

  24. BREAKDOWNS MOM’S OUT OF TOWN SO DAD’S IN CHARGE

  25. BREAKDOWNS CREEPING RESPONSIBILITY

  26. BREAKDOWNS CREEPING RESPONSIBILITY

  27. BREAKDOWNS UNPREDICTABLE ORANGES

  28. BREAKDOWNS SICK CHILD

  29. BREAKDOWNS CASCADE EFFECTS

  30. FINDINGS FLEXIBILITY AS A COPING STRATEGY Incremental precision Improvisation Technological infrastructure Lifestyle choices

  31. FINDINGS CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY

  32. FINDINGS ACTIVITIES CONSTRUCT FAMILY AND INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY Activities mean more than the work behind them People derive meaning from their participation

  33. SEVEN DESIGN PRINCIPLES Allow for the organic evolution of routines and plans Participate in the construction of family identity The home is more than a location Understand periodic changes, exceptions and improvisation Design for breakdowns Easily construct new plans and routines, and modify existing ones Account for multiple, overlapping and occasionally conflicting goals

  34. 1:ALLOW FOR THE ORGANIC EVOLUTION OF ROUTINES AND PLANS Hard to specify a priori Incremental precision Many routines are “unremarkable”

  35. 2:EASILY CONSTRUCT AND MODIFY PLANS AND ROUTINES Daily basis task planning and coordination Frequent interaction should merit attention Input should be low-cost

  36. 3:UNDERSTAND PERIODIC CHANGES, EXCEPTIONS AND IMPROV Routines are often not routine Vary by season Routines change with exceptions Rigid model of routines would not fit observation

  37. 4:DESIGN FOR BREAKDOWNS Exceptions happen frequently Complete solution is impossible

  38. 5:ACCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE, OVERLAPPING AND CONFLICTING GOALS More than one person May not agree on task performance metrics “Thermostat Predicament” Support v. Independence

  39. 6:THE HOME IS MORE THAN A LOCATION Opportunistic planning occurs in many locations A smart home is more than a physical space Also includes “information space”

  40. 7:PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF FAMILY IDENTITY Some tasks are more than work They constitute how we interpret who we are

  41. CONCLUSIONS Family is a place of busyness where identity and life control collide Opportunity for technology to improve quality of family life Design principles help address this space Evaluate smart home technology in terms of life control
