家庭自动化面临着提供无处不在、不引人注目的服务，同时为用户提供可接近的配置界面的挑战。这些接口需要提供足够的表达能力来支持复杂的自动化，并且需要设计符号，使不太精通技术的用户能够表达这样的场景。以规则为基础的范式和以过程为导向的范式已成为光谱的两端；然而，它们的基本概念尚未得到比较研究。我们报告了一项上下文调查研究，在该研究中，我们收集了来自12个家庭的18名参与者关于家庭自动化当前潜力和接受程度的定性数据，并探讨了这两种符号范式对最终用户的各自优点和缺点。结果表明，基于规则的符号对于简单的自动化任务是足够的，但是对于更复杂的用例来说不够灵活。由此产生的见解可以为智能家居界面的设计提供信息，从而为最终用户提供可用的真实家庭自动化。
Home automation faces the challenge of providing ubiquitous, unobtrusive services while empowering users with approachable configuration interfaces. These interfaces need to provide sufficient expressiveness to support complex automation, and notations need to be devised that enable less tech-savvy users to express such scenarios. Rule-based and process-oriented paradigms have emerged as opposing ends of the spectrum; however, their underlying concepts have not been studied comparatively. We report on a contextual inquiry study in which we collected qualitative data from 18 participants in 12 households on the current potential and acceptance of home automation, as well as explored the respective benefits and drawbacks of these two notation paradigms for end users. Results show that rule-based notations are sufficient for simple automation tasks but not flexible enough for more complex use cases. The resulting insights can inform the design of interfaces for smart homes to enable usable real-world home automation for end users.
