不可否认，信息共享在互联网时代已经变得无处不在。互联网上创建的地球村让人们能够即时获取偏远地区发生的事件的信息和新闻，包括访问 YouTube 等网站上的视频内容。因此，互联网帮助我们克服了信息障碍。然而，我们无法设想发生在偏远地区的事件并实时采取相关行动来响应。为了克服这个问题，我们提出了一个名为 Askus 的系统，这是一个支持网络操作的移动平台。 Askus 通过将人类纳入循环中，促进了可想象空间和行动的扩展。在 Askus 中，一个人的请求被传输给一个合适的人，然后该人将根据远程站点的请求采取行动。基于对日常生活中移动协助需求的详细了解，我们开发了 Askus 平台并实现了基于 PC 和移动电话的原型。我们还介绍了初步现场试验的结果。
Information sharing has undeniably become ubiquitous in the Internet age. The global village created on the Internet provides people with instant access to information and news on events occurring in a remote area, including access to video content on websites such as YouTube . Thus, the Internet has helped us overcome barriers to information. However, we cannot conceive an event happening in a remote area and respond to it with relevant actions in a real-time fashion. To overcome this problem, we propose a system called Askus , a mobile platform for supporting networked actions. Askus facilitates an extension of the conceivable space and action by including humans in the loop. In Askus , a person's request is transmitted to a suitable person who will then act in accordance with the request at a remote site. Based on a diary study that led to detailed understanding about mobile assistance needs in everyday life, we developed the Askus platform and implemented the PC-based and mobile phone-based prototypes. We also present the results from our preliminary field trial.
