Method for Detecting Sources Cited with Browsing to Prevent Reference Omissions

Abstract

This study demonstrates the gaze position on a PC monitor while typing with and without browsing any sources. Six subjects (touch-typing and non-touch-typing) entered text with and without browsing a web page, and we analyzed the percentage of gaze on each window of the software running on the monitor. The proposed method comprises three steps: detecting the entry operation of a word processor or text editor, determining the browsing in inactive windows, and outputting the referenced source title. Experiments show that the proposed method can accurately determine whether any source is browsed during the entry operation.
