AccelKey Selection Method for Mobile Devices (0712.3433v1)
Published 19 Dec 2007 in cs.HC
Abstract: Portable Electronic Devices usually utilize a small screen with limited viewing area and a keyboard with a limited number of keys. This makes it difficult to perform quick searches in data arrays containing more than dozen items such an address book or song list. In this article we present a new data selection method which allows the user to quickly select an entry from a list using 4-way navigation device such as joystick, trackball or 4-way key pad. This method allows for quick navigation using just one hand, without looking at the screen.
