ABSTRACT
In this paper, I present the idea of receptivity as a broader concept than interruptibility alongside empirical studies of receptivity to interruptions on mobile devices in naturalistic settings, and a methodology based around experience-sampling in order to inform and motivate the development of concepts and models for system design that respond to issues of receptivity in general and temporal challenges such as timing and episodic engagement in particular.

Snooze!: investigating the user-defined deferral of mobile notifications
MobileHCI '18: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesNotifications on mobile devices are a prominent source of interruptions. Previous work suggests using opportune moments to deliver notifications to reduce negative effects. In this paper, we instead explore the manual deferral of notifications. We ...
Investigating episodes of mobile phone activity as indicators of opportune moments to deliver notifications
MobileHCI '11: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Human Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesWe investigate whether opportune moments to deliver notifications surface at the endings of episodes of mobile interaction (making voice calls or receiving SMS) based on the assumption that the endings collocate with naturally occurring breakpoint in ...
Effects of content and time of delivery on receptivity to mobile interruptions
MobileHCI '10: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices and servicesIn this paper we investigate effects of the content of interruptions and of the time of interruption delivery on mobile phones. We review related work and report on a naturalistic quasi-experiment using experience-sampling that showed that the ...
