FLUID: FLEXIBLE USER INTERFACE DISTRIBUTION FOR UBIQUITOUS MULTI-DEVICE INTERACTION

Abstract

A recent trend in the global mobile/IoT industry is the emergence of next-generation smart devices with various screens, thus mobile/IoT market leaders are highly focused on building a new multi-device computing ecosystem based on such new smart devices. Market leaders are not only simply varying their screen sizes, but also competitively launching new devices equipped with innovative screens like foldable and dual-screen phones. However, the current mobile computing ecosystem is restricted by the single device paradigm that allows a user to interact with only one screen tethered to a single device, limiting the potential that the emerging multi-device computing trend provides.
