A Comparison of Shortcut and Step-by-Step Adaptive Menus for Smartphones

چکیده
This paper reports on the results of an experiment comparing two graphical adaptive menus for smartphones in order to improve their hierarchical navigation: “Shortcut Menu” and “Step-by-Step Menu” keep constant the actual presentation of initial menus and overlay them with a prediction window displaying the most frequently used menu items, wherever they are located in the hierarchy. In order to reach predicted items, the “Step-by-Step Menu” maintains the consistency with the initial menu through a level-by-level navigation while the “Shortcut Menu” directly moves the end user towards the predicted menu item, thus shortcutting the hierarchical navigation. Thirteen subjects performed fifty tests each on smartphones and data were collected about their item selection time and error rate. The “Step-by-Step Menu” has a positive impact on both variables, whether frequently used menu items are accurately predicted or not. The “Step-by-Step Menu” is fast, but could induce some problems when prediction is wrong.

متن کاملAdaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...
متن کاملA Family of Variable Step-Size Normalized Subband Adaptive Filter Algorithms Using Statistics of System Impulse Response
This paper presents a new variable step-size normalized subband adaptive filter (VSS-NSAF) algorithm. The proposed algorithm uses the prior knowledge of the system impulse response statistics and the optimal step-size vector is obtained by minimizing the mean-square deviation(MSD). In comparison with NSAF, the VSS-NSAF algorithm has faster convergence speed and lower MSD. To reduce the computa...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
متن کاملThe Wavelet Transform-Domain LMS Adaptive Filter Algorithm with Variable Step-Size
The wavelet transform-domain least-mean square (WTDLMS) algorithm uses the self-orthogonalizing technique to improve the convergence performance of LMS. In WTDLMS algorithm, the trade-off between the steady-state error and the convergence rate is obtained by the fixed step-size. In this paper, the WTDLMS adaptive algorithm with variable step-size (VSS) is established. The step-size in each subf...
