'CONTE': a drawing tool for mobile phones

摘要

In recent years, mobile communications with not only texts but also pictures have been widely used. For example, we can send e-mail including face marks and a picture taken by a mobile camera. However, we cannot use original images in e-mail and draw graffity on a picture. We can use only images downloaded from hosts the Internet or prepared in mobile phones. In this paper, we propose a drawing tool CONTE (Canvas ON mobile TElephone) for mobile phones with Java virtual machine. In this study, we have designed and implemented the CONTE. In addition, we have evaluated the system by comparing images written by mouse with images drawn by CONTE and questionnaires about the interface of the CONTE. From the evaluation result, the validity of the draw tool using mobile phone was shown.
