X-Mind Pilot Project Proposal 許志毓、李俊輝、吳蕙盈、卓曉青

Outline Topic of Interest Research Aims Details & Workflow Work Distribution Challenges & Conclusion

Topic of Interest TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion Photo-taking activities on the smartphone Learning curve of photo-taking on smartphones Types & combination of photo-taking applications used, frequency Understand the relationship between user and phone through photo-taking activities

Research Questions Do users generally develop a certain model of photo-taking during their first six months (or one year) of using smartphones? How long does it generally take for the user to develop a more “stable” or “routine” photo-taking habit? How does the user perceive their own photo-taking behavior as compared to the analyzed results? TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion

Research Aims Conduct a complete (pilot) research project using the X-Mind userlog platform Develop suitable tools that will assist such a pilot research Develop tools that may be used in future related research topics Find possible future research projects (optional) TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion

Project Details TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion

Project Details ( 志毓 ) Data Collection: Gain log files of first six months of photo- taking application installation/usage/uni nstallation for #number users. TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion

Data Collection Log Search Interface Purpose: aid researchers to find the UserLog data in database what they wanted. Search: UserID, Time_Stamp, time interval, Name of an application, or activity name Form: Blanks for each attribute and researchers can input to the blank what they are interesting

Project Details (Helen) Visualization: Show the usage patterns of the photo- taking applications, frequency and trends. TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion

Visualization Google Chart Tools API Purpose: Provide an interface to select and visually display simple statistics of the log files

Project Details (Scott) API/Model: Observe parameters (usage amount, usage period…etc.) to propose specific models of photo- taking Group users according to the proposed models TopicAimsWorkflow Work Distribution Discussion
