User-defined social community model for collaboration based on participant preferences

Abstract

Recently, it is the expansion of the spread of smart devices. Social communities are increased to use them with the smart device users. And the need for the sharing of information between participants with the common subject matter of the social communities is derived. There is necessary to support the selection of the service and determine the common activity among participants is recommended. In this paper, we propose a user-defined social community model (U-SCM) that recommends a common interest based on the behavior of the participants. To verify the validation of this model, we introduces the social community application, called 'E-zzak Zeo-zzak', This application enables the participants to join with common activities, like shopping and learning, via their behavior with smartphones. The social service model for the application allows communication between many clients and servers by providing visual information, such as images and maps. Also, the communication system is reinforced with the realization of chat, comment, and push notification. © 2015 SERSC.
