Paper Abstract:
|
Including 3G, long battery life, and touch screens, mobile devices are about to replace notebooks and desktop computers. In professional practice, such as map-based large area maintenance jobs, mobile devices allow users to have only one device with all necessary information. However, the usually lower performance of such devices, reduced display size, and touch interaction limit the amount of information to be displayed. This paper introduces the SELECTNLABEL technique: a dynamic label selection approach to interact with a labeled map and to select labels in an area of interest illustrated with a fisheye magnification. Furthermore, we introduce a dedicated 3-sided boundary label placement algorithm for mobile touch devices. Here, we consider performance, display size, and interaction mode. |
