  1. Predicting Task Execution Time on Handheld Devices Using the Keystroke Level Model Annie Lu Luo and Bonnie E. John School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University CHI’05 – April 6, 2005

  2. Motivation and goals • Keystroke Level Model (KLM) • A priori prediction of expert user task time • Intensively used on desktop computers • Not yet been adapted to handheld devices • Limited display size • Input device: stylus, touch-screen, hardware buttons • Interaction methods: tap, Graffiti, etc. • Investigate KLM on handheld UIs • Applicability of model to novel interface modalities • Accuracy of model predictions

  3. KLM in brief • Describe a task by placing operators in a sequence • K – keystroke (tap) • P – point with mouse (stylus) • H – homing (move hand from mouse to keyboard) (N/A) • D (takes parameters) – drawing (N/A) • R (takes parameters) – system response time • M – mental preparation • G – Graffiti stroke (580 ms – Fleetwood, et al 2002) • Five heuristic rules to insert candidate Ms into the sequence • Task execution time = Σ all operators involved

  4. 1 City map Street map Region map Scroll list 2 Soft keyboard Start Query result 3 Graffiti 4 Handheld task: Find information about the MET Museums list

  5. Create KLMs • One KLM for each of the four methods • Used CogTool (John, et al 2004) Interface event messages via LiveConnect Netscape HTML event handler MacroMedia DreamWeaver ACT-R Environment Behavior Recorder ACT-Simple code based on KLM HTML mockups KLM Trace Modeler mocks up interfaces as HTML storyboard Modeler demonstrates tasks on the HTML storyboard ACT-Simple complies code into ACT-R production rules

  6. ACT-R Mozilla Firefox Behavior Recorder

  7. User study • 10 expert PDA users (Female:Male = 3:7) • At least one year experience using: • Palm series, pocket PC, or smart cell phone • Instructed to perform the task on a PalmVx • Using four different methods (within subject design) • Training session before real session • Repeating each method for 10 times • Data collection • EventLogger: records system events to a log file • Videotaped modeler’s behavior for verification

  8. New results since paper published • Latest version of CogTool • Better estimation of system response time • Detailed analysis of model and user traces (140/400 removed) -6.9% -1.4% 8.9% 5.8% -3.7% 2.3% 7.7% -9.3%

  9. Conclusion & Future work • KLMs produced with CogTool are effective for handheld user interfaces: • Produces accurate execution time prediction • Supports new input modalities: Graffiti • Future work: • Detailed analysis of the user pauses (mental time) • Use predictions of pauses to assist energy management
