Erratum: An Assessment Method and Toolkit to Evaluate Keyboard Design on Smartphones

键盘输入是人机交互的主流方式1，2，随着智能手机的普及，键盘输入获得了数十亿用户。2019年，全球智能手机普及率已达41.5%3，而美国是普及率最高的国家，则高达79.1%4 。截至2020年第一季度，搜狗手机键盘日活跃用户约4.8亿5.截至2020年5月6日，谷歌Gboard的下载量已超过10亿次6。
不令人满意的键盘输入体验随着手机屏幕的放大而增加。虽然放大后的屏幕旨在改善观看体验，但它改变了智能手机的重力、尺寸和重量，导致用户反复改变握持姿势以到达偏远地区（例如，右撇子用户的按钮A和Q），从而导致输入效率低下。肌肉拉伸可能导致使用者患有肌肉骨骼疾病，手部疼痛和不同类型的疾病（例如，腕管综合征，拇指骨关节炎和拇指腱鞘炎7，8，9，10）。喜欢单手使用的用户条件更差11，12.
因此，键盘设计的评估和优化已成为心理学、技术和人体工程学研究的热点。输入法编辑器（IME）公司和研究人员不断提出可变键盘设计和概念，以优化输入体验和效率，包括布局更改和字符重新排序的键盘：Microsoft WordFlow Keyboard13，Gloryof Kings14中的功能按钮区域，IJQWERTY15和Quasi-QWERTY16。
现有的键盘设计评估方法因研究者而异，除了几个高度接受的指标外，提出了更准确的指标。然而，对于各种指标，没有提供一个总结和系统的协议来演示评估和分析键盘设计的过程。菲茨定律17及其扩展版FFitts定律18描述了人机交互，被广泛采用来评估键盘性能19，20，21，22。此外，提出了拇指的功能区域以改善键盘设计，并且它描述了一个弯曲的运动区域，以便拇指舒适地完成输入任务23。基于这些理论，包括每分钟单词数，单词错误率和主观反馈（感知可用性，感知性能，感知速度，主观工作量，感知的劳累和疼痛以及使用意图等）在内的指标被高度采用，在以前的研究中部分使用24，25，26，27，28，29 除了建模和模拟方法。此外，近年来还使用了每个按钮上接触点的拟合椭圆及其偏移量30，31来研究输入事件的准确性能。此外，还采用皮肤电反应、心率、肌电活动、手势和身体运动32、33、34、35等方式直接或间接评价用户的肌肉疲劳、舒适度和满意度。然而，这些不同的方法缺乏对所用指标的适当性的反思，新手研究人员可能会混淆为他或她的研究选择适当的指标。
关于键盘设计的研究也很容易进行，操作和分析。随着屏幕技术的蓬勃发展，可以很容易地收集更多的行为数据来深入评估键盘设计（例如，两个键之间的转换时间和每个接触点的坐标数据）。基于上述数据，研究人员可以精确地探索键盘设计的细节，并分析其缺点和优点。与其他人机交互研究相比，便携式智能手机键盘设计的研究也具有很高的应用价值，因为其庞大的用户群不需要昂贵的设备，复杂的材料或巨大的实验室空间。关于研究的问卷，量表和Python脚本是开源的，易于访问。
本研究的目的是总结以前的方法，以展示一种系统，精确和通用的协议来评估和分析智能手机上的键盘设计。示例实验和结果旨在展示与传统QWERTY键盘相比，带有大小可调按钮的曲面QWERTY键盘是否可以优化5英寸智能手机上单手输入的输入体验，并分享数据分析的可视化方法和Python脚本。

an assessment method and toolkit to evaluate keyboard design on smartphones

键盘输入在与广大用户群的人机交互中发挥了至关重要的作用，键盘设计一直是智能设备研究的基本对象之一。随着屏幕技术的发展，智能手机可以收集更精确的数据和指示器，以深入评估键盘设计。手机屏幕的放大导致了不尽如人意的输入体验和手指疼痛，特别是对于单手输入。输入效率和舒适性引起了研究人员和设计师的注意，并提出了带有尺寸可调按钮的曲面键盘，大致符合拇指的生理结构，以优化大屏幕智能手机上的单手使用。然而，它的实际影响仍然模糊不清。因此，该协议展示了一种通用的总结方法，通过自主开发的软件评估曲面QWERTY键盘设计在5英寸智能手机上的效果，该软件具有详细的变量，包括客观行为数据，主观反馈以及每个接触点的坐标数据。关于评估虚拟键盘的现有文献足够多;然而，其中只有少数几个系统地总结了评估方法和过程并进行了反思。因此，该协议填补了这一空白，并提出了一种系统评估键盘设计的过程和方法，以及用于分析和可视化的可用代码。它不需要额外或昂贵的设备，并且易于进行和操作。此外，该协议还有助于获得设计缺点的潜在原因，并启发设计的优化。总之，这种具有开源资源的协议不仅可以成为一种课堂演示实验，以激励新手开始学习，而且还有助于改善用户体验和输入法编辑器公司的收入。

代表性研究主要遵循上述方案。该研究采用2（键盘布局：弯曲QWERTY与传统QWERTY）×2（按钮尺寸：大，6.3 mm×9 mm与小，4.9 mm×7 mm）受试者内部设计，通过我们自主开发的软件，通过字符对输入任务，评估与传统QWERTY相比，弯曲的QWERTY是否可以提高输入效率和舒适度（图3).本研究没有采用昂贵的生理检测设备或动作捕捉系统，数据分析也不包含建模或模拟。
