An approach towards personalized user interfaces for ambient intelligent home environments

Today's consumer devices are equipped with an enormous number of functions controllable by the user. Therefore, an efficient menu structure is of high interest. Nowadays each device uses its own user interface along with appropriate menu structures. As a result, different devices from different vendors are typically equipped with diverse menu structures and layouts even if they actually have similar functionalities. Thus, the user is typically confronted with inhomogeneous menu structures forcing one to learn the logic behind each structure first, before an efficient interaction with the interface is possible.
