Abstract
Next generation cars will increase the passengers’ time for fun and relax, as well as the number of unknown passengers traveling together. A key functionality to improve the users’ experience is that of Temporary Mobile Social Networking (TMSN): where passengers form, for a limited-time, a mobile social group with common interests and activities, using their already available social network accounts. The goal of TMSN is to automatically redesign the users’ profiles and interfaces into a group-wise passengers’ profile and a common interface, by reducing isolation and enabling socialization. In this paper, a TMSN-inspired music selection is proposed and developed via the Spotify music streaming service. Early results are promising and encourage further developments towards the concept of in-car entertainment.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
