Abstract

ABSTRACT While map apps on smartphones are abundant, their everyday usage is still an open empirical research question. With tappigraphy – the quantification of smartphone touchscreen interactions – we aimed to capture continuous data stream of behavioural human-map app usage patterns. The current study introduces a first tappigraphy analysis of the distribution of touchscreen interactions on map apps in 211 remotely observed smartphone users, accumulating a total of 42 days of tap data. We detail the requirements, setup, and data collection to understand how much, when, for how long, and how people use mobile map apps in their daily lives. Supporting prior research, we find that on average map apps are only sparsely used, compared to other apps. The longitudinal fluctuations in map use are not random and are partly governed by general daily and weekly human behaviour cycles. Smartphone session duration including map app use can be clearly distinguished from sessions without any map apps used, indicating a distinct temporal behavioural footprint surrounding map use. With the transfer of the tappigraphy approach to a mobile map app use context, we see a promising avenue to provide research communities interested in the underlying behavioural mechanisms of map use a continuous, in-situ momentary assessment method.
Tappigraphy:对原位地图应用程序使用行为的连续动态评估和分析
虽然智能手机上的地图应用程序很多,但它们的日常使用情况仍然是一个开放的实证研究问题。通过tapappigraphy(智能手机触摸屏交互的量化),我们的目标是捕捉人类地图应用程序使用模式的连续数据流。目前的研究首次对211名远程观察的智能手机用户在地图应用程序上的触摸屏交互分布进行了触屏分析,共积累了42天的触屏数据。我们详细介绍了需求、设置和数据收集,以了解人们在日常生活中使用移动地图应用程序的次数、时间、时长以及方式。支持之前的研究,我们发现平均而言,与其他应用相比,地图应用的使用率很低。地图使用的纵向波动不是随机的,部分受一般每日和每周人类行为周期的支配。包括使用地图应用程序在内的智能手机会话持续时间可以与不使用地图应用程序的会话明显区分开来,这表明围绕地图使用的不同时间行为足迹。随着tapigrapgraphy方法转移到移动地图应用程序的使用环境中,我们看到了一条很有前途的途径,可以为对地图使用的潜在行为机制感兴趣的研究团体提供一种连续的、原位的瞬时评估方法。

期刊介绍: The aim of this interdisciplinary and international journal is to provide a forum for the exchange of original ideas, techniques, designs and experiences in the rapidly growing field of location based services on networked mobile devices. It is intended to interest those who design, implement and deliver location based services in a wide range of contexts. Published research will span the field from location based computing and next-generation interfaces through telecom location architectures to business models and the social implications of this technology. The diversity of content echoes the extended nature of the chain of players required to make location based services a reality.
