ABSTRACT
People nowadays can use multiple devices to interact with notifications, whether via noticing, glancing, reading, or acting upon them. Prior research has focused on actual usage or on device preferences. However, users’ ideal experience of cross-device notification-interaction might differ from their current practices (due to situational limitations) and/or across the four notification-interaction stages. We therefore conducted an experience-sampling method study with multi-device users to investigate these gaps and the influence of device context. Our results reveal that nearly half of the time, the non-phone devices the participants had ranked as their top preferences for notification-interaction were not actually used, due to the devices’ context. Beyond device context, the participants’ choices of devices for notification-interaction were heavily determined by 1) their preferences that particular notification-interaction stages to take place (or not) on particular devices; and 2) the device on which they had undertaken the former stage.

Understanding Multi-Device Usage Patterns: Physical Device Configurations and Fragmented Workflows
CHI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTo better ground technical (systems) investigation and interaction design of cross-device experiences, we contribute an in-depth survey of existing multi-device practices, including fragmented workflows across devices and the way people physically ...
In-situ investigation of notifications in multi-device environments
UbiComp '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous ComputingSmart devices have arrived in our everyday lives. Being able to notify the user about events is a core feature of these devices. Related work investigated interruptions caused by notifications on single devices. In this paper, we investigate ...
Qualitative Investigation of Multi-Device Notifications
UbiComp '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference and 2018 International Symposium on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Wearable ComputersUsers are confronted with more and more notifications in their lives. Multiple device types in the users' environment use visual, tactile and auditory cues to inform them about messages, events, and updates. All these devices differ in the used ...
