چکیده
The mobile phones that we carry with us all the time have evolved a lot with time. They have become increasingly sophisticated and have been performing tasks that the desktops use to perform. Mobile devices are now extremely powerful and, in addition to making phone calls, are capable of performing a variety of other functions. One very important function is the ability to access the Internet. These devices are now being used to conduct online banking transactions, perform e-commerce activities, browse through informative web portals, take advantage of gaming and other sites from where ever we are.

متن کاملA Simple Method to Record Keystrokes on Mobile Phones and Other Devices for Usability Evaluations
Task times, sometimes at the keystroke level, as well as the number of keystrokes are often used to assess the usefulness and ease of use of mobile devices. This paper describes a new method to obtain keystroke-level timing of tasks involving Virtual Network Computing (VNC) and Techsmith Morae (commonly used for usability tests). Running VNC, the PC mimics what the mobile device does, which is ...
متن کاملOrientation-based Interaction for Mobile Devices
Our team has been exploring the possibilities of orientationbased sensors on mobile devices. We constructed a prototype system for delivering 3D acceleration and magnetic compass data to a Pocket PC and developed trial applications. One class of applications relied on the tilt sensors to provide a gesture interface to an application. A second class of applications used the magnetic sensors to c...
متن کاملExploring Cross-Device Web Use on PCs and Mobile Devices
In this paper, we explore whether sharing a user’s web browsing activity across their computing devices can make it easier to find and access web sites on a mobile device. We first surveyed 175 smartphone users about their web use across multiple devices. We found that users shared web information between devices, but generally used cumbersome manual methods to do so. In a second study, we trac...
