Abstract

A Tablet PC is now used not only for reading books and watching videos, but also for various work tasks such as creating business documents and analyzing data. However, while graphics performance and other specifications of the tablet PC have improved over the years, the basic application usage is similar on all devices, that is, a user maximizes any application window and uses it in full-screen mode. The question remains as to whether the maximized single window is truly appropriate for performing various tasks on a tablet PC. In fact, multi-window environments facilitate multitasking on desktop or laptop PCs. We analyzed the usability of the multi-window environment on a tablet PC through experiments in which subjects performed simple tasks while switching between two or more windows. The results revealed that while the multi-window environment has great potential to perform multitasking on a tablet PC, the ability to automatically adjust the positions/sizes of multiple application windows is needed.

平板电脑多窗口工作环境改进的可用性分析

现在，平板电脑不仅用于阅读书籍和观看视频，还用于制作业务文档和分析数据等各种工作任务。然而，尽管平板电脑的图形性能和其他规格多年来有所改善，但所有设备上的基本应用程序使用方式都是相似的，即用户将任何应用程序窗口最大化并以全屏模式使用它。问题在于最大化的单一窗口是否真的适合在平板电脑上执行各种任务。事实上，多窗口环境有利于台式机或笔记本电脑的多任务处理。我们通过实验分析了平板电脑上多窗口环境的可用性，在实验中，受试者在两个或多个窗口之间切换时执行简单的任务。结果显示，虽然多窗口环境在平板电脑上具有执行多任务的巨大潜力，但需要自动调整多个应用程序窗口的位置/大小的能力。
