Abstract:
Filling out a form on mobile devices is generally harder than on other terminals, due to the reduced keyboard and display size, entailing a higher fatigue and limiting the user experience. A solution to this problem can be based on reducing the input effort required to the user by auto-completion, and re-organizing the fields in order to provide first those with a higher prediction power. In this paper we assume to be able to predict the user input and we optimize the fields layout aiming at reducing on average the input actions.
