The Privacy Badge - A Privacy-Awareness User Interface for Small Devices In Mobility '07: Proceedings of the 4th international Conference on Mobile Technology, Applications, and Systems and the 1st international Symposium on Computer Human interaction in Mobile Technology. Singapore, September 10 - 12, 2007. ACM, New York, NY, 583-586. DOI= http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1378063.1378159, ISBN 978-1-59593-819-0. (bib) |
In this paper, we present the Privacy Badge, a privacy-awareness user interface, created to visualize privacy loss in ubiquitous and pervasive computing environments and enable users to do privacy settings in an easy and understandable way. Moreover, the interface was created to work on small devices, which suffer of limited input and output capabilities and for which desktop interface approaches are not appropriate. We evaluated our prototype in a user study to find out, whether the concepts are suitable and users are able to interact with it. The evaluation shows that our approach satisfied our expectations. Nevertheless, during the study, some improvements to our idea could be identified, which we are planning to include and evaluate in future work. |
