UC-ENV2.6-mis-02-V01 The user received a warning from the system that due to ex-pected strong pressure changes there is a higher probability forheadaches. He wishes to share this information with a friendwhom he knows to be sensitive to sudden weather changes. Byallowing the system to share this information is uploaded to thefriend’s facebook page.

UC-ENV2.6-mis-03-V01 The user received a warning from the system that due to ex-pected strong pressure changes there is a higher probability forheadaches. He wishes to share this information with a friendwhom he knows to be sensitive to sudden weather changes. Byallowing the system to share this information is uploaded to thefriend’s facebook page.

UC-ENV2.6-mis-04-V01 The user requests an additional service that requires payment.If he agrees to pay for this service the system initializes a credittransfer.

UC-ENV2.A-PFO-01.01-V01 The user is making plans for her weekend and consults her per-sonal environmental information system. She specifies the me-teorological parameter(s) and the location to be monitored andreceives a visualization (meteogram) of the requested data.

UC-ENV2.A-PFO-02.01-V01 The user is planning a trip to the countryside. He wants to knowthe predicted air quality and pollen count for the next day.The usertherefore requests a forecast for a specific user-defined locationand time and receives a visualization of the requested data.

UC-ENV2.A-PSM-01.01-V02 The user is deciding whether to go shopping by car or by busdepending on the weather condition.

As a result he re-ceives a visualization (meteogram) of the default meteorologicalparameters at his current location.

UC-ENV2.A-PSM-02.01-V02 The user is interested in the current exposure to air pollutants athis daughter’s school. He enters the location and specifies the airpollutant to be displayed. As a result he receives a visualizationof the requested data.

UC-ENV2.A-RPT-01.01-V02 User wishes to know how much UV he has been exposed to dur-ing the last day. He requests a report for Met, including UV. EX-TENSION The user wants to decide whether he has to water hisgarden plants. He may wish to find out the cumulative precipita-tion during the past three days at his current location. Dependingon the cumulative amount of rain in e.g. mm/m**2 that hit theground during the last three days he can then decide whether hisplants need water.

UC-ENV2.A-RPT-02.01-V03 The user heard in the news that during the last days high levels ofozone and particulate matter have been measured in his region.He is interested to find out how much pollution his kids at schoolhave been exposed to over the last 24 hours. After setting thetime-frame and specifying a location, he requests a report forozone and particulate matter. The user receives e.g. a tabularreport based on the exposure to pollution over a specific timeperiod.

UC-ENV2.B-NTA-01.01-V02 The user is allergic to birch. Since the season for birch pollenhas just started he wants to be notified in case a threshold forthis pollen is exceeded. In his personal information system hespecifies the component to be monitored at his current locationand sets a threshold.

UC-ENV2.B-NTA-02.01-V03 The user has subscribed to receive warnings in case the amountfor a certain type of pollen is breached. The system identifieda threshold breach and raises an alert. As a consequence theuser receives a warning notification. According to his personalsettings this can be a push notification, an email or an sms. Ad-ditionally, the parameter that caused the alert is visualised.

UC-ENV2.B-NTA-03.01-V02 Many users will not have the basic knowledge on what parame-ters and corresponding thresholds are important or relevant forthem. In order to facilitate the usage of the PEIS, they can selectfrom predefined configurations with automatic threshold valuesfor key parameters. For example: Suffer from hay fever? Clickthis profile. Have asthma? Click this profile. Get headacheswhen the weather changes? Click this profile. Like outdoorsports? Click this profile. The system will set the thresholds forthe relevant parameters accordingly.

UC-ENV2.B-PRA-01.01-V02 Historic users input (Health reporting) is used to predict potentialrepeat of symptoms (see UC-ENV-2.2-any-01.01-V01)

UC-ENV2.C-USI-01.01.-V02 A hobby meteorologist is observing the approach of a thunder-storm that the system is not aware of yet. He can then e.g. notifythe system by sending a message or by taking a photo of theweather condition and uploading it to the system.

UC-ENV2.C-USI-02.01.-V02 User can select one or more attributes from a predefined listto describe his current health condition. These conditions caninclude the following: Headache, Irritated eyes, Sneezing, orCoughing In addition, the user can charaterize the attributes withvalues, such as mild, moderate, strong, or severe

UC-ENV2.C-USI-03.01.-V02 User is elderly, and does not manage to get outside often. Userwishes to receive reports on indoor exposure. User needs toensure that relevant information about himself is stored in thesystem. User stores specific information about himself such asSex/Age residence location work location This is necessary if theuser wishes an indoor assessment.

UC-ENV2.C-USI-04.01-V01 The user wishes to know how much pollution other user at hislocation were exposed to during the last day or a specific pe-riod. He requests a report for pollution exposure. In order toprovide the user with this information, the system determines theuser’s current location and searches on the server for user re-ports matching his request. As a result the system provides amap visualizing the positions of the users and the amount of pol-lution they have been exposed to.

UC-ENV2.C-USI-05.01-V01 The user wishes to know how many other users at his locationsuffered from a headache during the last day or a specific pe-riod. He requests a health report for headaches. In order toprovide the user with this information, the system determines theuser’s current location and searches on the server for user re-ports matching his request. As a result the system provides amap visualizing the positions of these users.

Notes It might be possible to display the results in various formats.Currently I am thinking about either a simple tabular layout,where the user is simply told that they have been exposed to’Low/Moderate/High’ amounts of pollution, or a simple graphicalpresentation (bar graph) where the X axis represents time andthe Y axis represents exposure. the bars for each day, or pe-riod of time, would then be coloured to represent the amount ofexposure. Green for Low, Yellow for Moderate and Red for high.

Summary Many users will not have the basic knowledge on what parame-ters and corresponding thresholds are important or relevant forthem. In order to facilitate the usage of the PEIS, they can selectfrom predefined configurations with automatic threshold valuesfor key parameters. For example: Suffer from hay fever? Clickthis profile. Have asthma? Click this profile. Get headacheswhen the weather changes? Click this profile. Like outdoorsports? Click this profile.
