A Study on User Interaction with Multi-Window Screen Support Framework for Multitasking Operations on Smartphones

摘要

Advancement in Smartphone technologies has added one more feather to its cap by introducing multi-window screen support. This latest addition has been introduced in Android Nougat (7.0) which supports concurrent display of more than one application. The multi-tasking feature developed for Android Nougat (7.0) has been partially adopted by the previous versions of the Android through some root accessibility adjustments. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the user interaction with multi-window framework through user-interaction information extracted from different mobile devices. Multinomial regression analysis has been applied on the collected user interaction dataset to estimate the relationship between key factors and generalize the user trend towards the multi-window framework applicability.
