Most of the sounds such as the ringing of the phone, crying of a baby, doorbell, fire alarm and others are vital for everybody in day-to-day life. People with hearing impairment have difficulties in recognition of these sounds. This paper discusses a prototype design of Alert Device and related mobile phone app for hearing impaired users in their home environment. The prototype related design of both Alert Device and Mobile Prototype is designed based on a detailed literature survey as well as mobile app review. The prototype device design includes several important features such as detection of doorbell, crying of a baby, fire alarm, motion detection alarm, phone ringing, self-training of sound, SOS / Panic button and sound log. This device provides alert information on the mobile phone, tablet or smartwatch. In the future, the proposed alert app and related device will be developed with a focus to make it suitable for countries in South Asia and whole of Asia.

The increasingly-adopted mobile devices create new opportunities for the police to engage with citizens at anywhere and anytime. However, there has been limited academic work evaluating these technologies. This paper reports an auto-ethnographic evaluation study of Android community policing (CP) applications (Apps) used in Asia. Without guidance, our study indicates that finding appropriate Asian CP Apps is challenging. This paper reports the descriptive App store characteristics, functionalities, communication channels, and privacy of CP Apps. We conclude with design implications and call for developing the standardized App store description system and a CP App evaluation model.

Reviewing plays an important role in the learning process of humans. A user's self-confidence is as important as the correctness of the answer to distinguish what to review. Giving feedback based on self-confidence enables learners to improve the quality of the review. Since it is still a familiar way for many students to write by hand, we propose a self-confidence estimation method based on handwriting behavior. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we employed the data collected while completing English spelling questions. The results revealed that the proposed method was able to predict self-confidence with 76% accuracy.

Nowadays, a number of people with visual impairments (PVI) access public buses in the Seoul metropolitan area. Existing studies reported the challenges PVI faced when they use buses in multiple cities. Nevertheless, little is known about the accessibility issues of Seoul metropolitan buses (SMB). To reduce the gap, we conducted semi-structured interviews with nine PVI to investigate the challenges and opportunities for accessible SMB. We discovered ten challenges PVI faced when they use SMB. Based on the identified challenges, we propose three opportunities for improving accessibility of the SMB system.

This paper presents a method to expand input vocabulary for smartphones. To this end, our method uses index finger gestures on and above the back of a smartphone. The input vocabulary of our method is in accordance with index finger gestures such as touching and bending/stretching. To enable the detection of these gestures, we built a system composed of the smartphone and ring-like device. In pilot studies using our system, the touching of the back of a smartphone was detected with an accuracy of 94.3% on average.

Stress is a mental state that is responsible for changing human behavior. Driving stress is harmful because it may cause road accidents. In developing countries, the rate of road accidents is higher where driving stress is responsible very often. Today monitoring any stress by using wearable is a growing research area, but most of the commercially available wearables are expensive. Only a few wearables are developed to get specifically the driving stress in developed nations. We gradually develop a low cost wearable associated with a mobile sensing application to detect the driving stress along with road conditions by analyzing HRV (Heart Rate Variability) in developing country context to support the low-income community.

Sign languages are the only communication medium for mute and deaf people all over the world, but all the general people are not familiar with it. It is really tough for these people to make other people understand their voices. In the context of Bangladesh, we have studied these community people specifically from the Tablighi Jamaat community who use different sign language to communicate with people. By studying them we have gathered the local signs along with global standard sign languages in an application named Kotha Bondhu. It is a very simpler application that is understandable to any community people and is able to translate the sign languages into Bengali voice.

It is not easy for people to consistently take care of their health without motivation. Existing smartphone apps have assisted with people managing their health, but there still remain questions about whether target users' needs were addressed to support the users. We report on each stage of a design thinking process for redesigning experiences of people who are in their 20s to 40s for managing their health. Especially, we were able to empathize with our target users by making the empathy map. This helped us to identify real users' needs. Outcomes from each stage of the design thinking process show that the process is applicable to other domains when people create a smartphone app to address the needs of their target users effectively.

Block-based programming toolkits are widely used to nurture computational literacy in the young generation. However, they may not be suitable for young blind and visually impaired (BVI) students as these toolkits mostly rely on visual cues in the whole manipulation process. We present CodeRhythm, a tangible programming toolkit for engaging BVI users to learn basic programming concepts by creating simple melodies. Our preliminary user evaluation showed that the inclusive design features-assistive connection and multi-sensation feedback, helped the BVI user to create simple melodies smoothly and successfully, which received positive feedback from BVI user.

Open government data allows for transparency from governments and access to data collected about its citizens. However, we are still far from achieving universal citizen participation because data literacy and experience are necessary to extract insights from data. There is also no guarantee if available data can address people's information needs. We explored the potential of open government data portals in addressing the information needs of citizens through an online survey and found that these can only be partially answered by the available data. To understand their information seeking behavior, we conducted usability tests of open data portals with 21 citizens, and used semi-structured interviews to identify gaps in the portals' design. We found that citizens would benefit from: localized and advanced search engines; and visualized, contextualized, and processed content for better sensemaking. We conclude with design guidelines for open data portals catered to citizens.
