We introduce a technique that, given any text input system A and novice user
u, will predict the peak expert input speed of u on A, avoiding the costly
process of actually training u to expert level. Here, peak refers to periods of
ideal performance, free from hesitation or concentration lapse, and expert
refers to asymptotic competence (e.g., touch typing, in the case of a
two-handed keyboard). The technique is intended as a feedback mechanism in the
interface development cycle between abstract mathematical modeling at the start
(Fitts' law, Hick's law, etc.) and full empirical testing at the end. The
utility of the technique in iterative design is contingent on what we call the
monotonicity principle: For each user u, if our prediction of peak expert input
speed for u is higher on system A than on system B, continuous text input by u
after training to expert level will be faster on A than on B. Here, continuous
refers to actual real-world use, subject to errors, physical fatigue, lapses of
concentration, and so forth. We discuss the circumstances under which
monotonicity is valid. The technique is parametric in the character map-that
is, in the map from actions (keystrokes, gestures, chords, etc.) to characters.
Therefore, standard heuristic algorithms can be employed to search for optimal
character maps (e.g., keyboard layouts). We illustrate the use of our technique
for evaluation and optimization in the context of stylus keyboards, first
benchmarking a number of stylus keyboards relative to a simple alphabetic
layout and then implementing an ant algorithm to obtain a machine-optimized
layout.

We present a design and implementation for displaying and manipulating HTML pages on small handheld devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), or cellular phones. We introduce methods for summarizing parts of Web pages and HTML forms. Each Web page is broken into text units that can each be hidden, partially displayed, made fully visible, or summarized. A variety of methods are introduced that summarize the text units. In addition, HTML forms are also summarized by displaying just the text labels that prompt the use for input. We tested the relative performance of the summarization methods by asking human subjects to accomplish single-page information search tasks. We found that the combination of keywords and single-sentence summaries provides significant improvements in access times and number of required pen actions, as compared to other schemes. Our experiments also show that our algorithms can identify the appropriate labels for forms in 95% of the cases, allowing effective form support for small screens.

We demonstrate a new browsing technique for devices with small displays such as PDAs or cellular phones. We concentrate on end-game browsing, where the user is close to or on the target page. We make browsing more efficient and easier by Accordion Summarization. In this technique the Web page is first represented as a short summary. The user can then drill down to discover relevant parts of the page. If desired, keywords can be highlighted and exposed automatically. We discuss our techniques, architecture, interface facilities, and the result of user evaluations. We measured a 57% improvement in browsing speed and 75% reduction in input effort.

We have designed and implemented new Web browsing facilities to support effective navigation on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) with limited capabilities: low bandwidth, small display, and slow CPU. The implementation supports wireless browsing from 3Corn's Palm Pilot. An HTTP proxy fetches web pages on the client's behalf and dynamically generates summary views to be transmitted to the client. These summaries represent both the link structure and contents of a set of web pages, using information about link importance. We discuss the architecture, user interface facilities, and the results of comparative performance evaluations. We measured a 45% gain in browsing speed, and a 42% reduction in required pen movements.
