However, context-aware reminder applications have yet to be evaluated throughout a person’s daily life. Mobile phones provide a potentially convenient and truly ubiquitous platform for the detection of personal context such as location, as well as the delivery of reminders. We designed Place-Its, a location-based reminder application that runs on mobile phones, to study people using location-aware reminders throughout their daily lives. We describe the design of Place-Its and a two-week exploratory user study. The study reveals that location-based reminders are useful, in large part because people use location in nuanced ways.}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/place-its-a-study-of-location-based-reminders-on-mobile-phones/}, edition = {Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2005)}, }
