Abstract

Every day we receive lots of information through our senses that is lost forever, because it lacked the strength or the repetition needed to generate a lasting memory. Combining the emerging Internet of Things and lifelogging sensors, we believe it is possible to build up a Digital Memory (Dig-Mem) in order to complement the fallible memory of people. This work shows how to realize the Dig-Mem in terms of interactions, affinities, activities, goals and protocols. We also complement this Dig-Mem with memory-aware services and a Dig-Mem browser. Furthermore, we propose a RFID Tag-Sharing technique to speed up the adoption of Dig-Mem. Experimentation reveals an improvement of the user understanding of Dig-Mem as time passes, compared to natural memories where the level of detail decreases over time.

Highlights

  • Memory is the ability of the brain to store information

  • We put a flag in every Digital Memory (Dig-Mem) record to distinguish between foreground and background feed, but we used all records for every evaluations

  • With more and more RFID tags being added to our surroundings Memory-Aware Services can play an important role in our lives providing us an important complement to our fading memory

Summary

Introduction

Memory is the ability of the brain to store information. Given enough stimuli and rehearsal, we can remember data for many years and recall that information whenever we need it. Not all stimuli are strong enough to generate a memory that can be recalled later. Every day we receive a lot of information through our senses that is lost forever, because it lacked the strength or the repetition needed to generate a lasting memory. That information can be important or necessary: where did I put my keys, what was the name of that man I just met, do I need to buy more milk, etc.
