Proposal of Information Acquisition Interface on Android towards Information Sharing Service for Elderly

Abstract

This paper proposes a information acquisition interface on Android smartphone, which is designed for information sharing service for elderly. When an elderly person takes a walk, s/he takes a photo at a favorite spot with a smartphone and gives what s/he feels about the photo as comments. Photos and comments are shared by community, and used for providing various services for encouraging elder people to go outside. This paper describes the developed prototype interface.
