“…Thus we cannot simply assume that initial stage data can be a good estimator for ultimate speed. 2 Third, there is the issue of statistical stability. In [8], we reported a classical comparison of ABC and PM layouts.…”

“…A number of researchers have used this approach to analyze initial acceptance of new designs, and were able to conclude that it was acceptable even if it was significantly slower than the control. The method has been used for evaluating a pen-based computer [1] and a mobile phone keypad [2]. It satisfies criteria 3 and 4, but ignores 1 and 2.…”

We present a rapid screening method for keyboard layouts. The method relies on user familiarity with a pre-existing layout, and can provide rapid, low-cost estimates of the eventual user speed on the new layout. It provides an effective prescreening for the expensive training curve estimates of previous methods, and provides valuable supplementary information not available from them. We provide preliminary validation of the method on a mobile phone layout problem.

Human Work Interaction Design: Usability in Social, Cultural and Organizational Contexts

The aim of this paper is to identify the cultural usability aspects that need to be considered while internationalizing or localizing the interaction design of mobile keypads and displays for textual communication. The analysis is based primarily on heuristics tests, where: Hindi, Arabic and Danish mobile phones are evaluated based on assumptions of user needs, and in comparison to English. We have also referred the existing research on Chinese mobile phones to further complement our work. The study provides an insight into the much needed local-language centred approach in contrast with the current English centred approach of existing mobile keypad designs and display of text.

“…Though the improvement is obvious in the text entry method, the models are specific for the Arabic text environment. Mittal and Sengupta (2009) repositioned alphabets on the 3×4 keyboard to reduce the number of matches for any possible numeric combinations. Their model groups commonly used key combinations together and requires less tapping for commonly used alphabets.…”

A novel soft keyboard for touchscreen phones: QWERT

The popularity of touchscreen phones has been growing around the world since the iPhones and Android phones were released. More and more mobile phones with large touchscreen have been produced, however, the phones with small size displays are still in the majority of touch phones. The foremost interface on touch smartphones is the information input module using soft keyboards. Traditional input methods on touch phones have either too small key buttons (such as QWERTY) or too many functions (such as 3$\times$4 keyboard), which are inconvenient to use. Moreover, the conventional soft keyboards only use tapping to input texts while current touch smartphones allow various gestures on the touchscreen, such as sliding. In this paper, a novel soft keyboard called QWERT is proposed for touchscreen-based smartphones. The users can interact with phones via finger gestures of tapping or sliding when input text by using the QWERT. In doing so, the interactions between users and smartphones will be faster and easier. An experiment carried out on inexperienced human subjects shows that they can learn very fast due to their familiarities with QWERTY. A simulation experiment based on a cognitive architecture, ACT-R, was also conducted to predict the movement time (MT) of experienced human subjects. The simulation results show that the MT using QWERT outperforms other default keyboards. These outcomes imply that the novel QWERT is a viable option for touch smartphone users. Based on the novel design, an application is released on Android systems. This application is expected to give better user experience for customers who use touch smartphones
