ScreenTrack:使用计算机屏幕的视觉历史记录来浏览文档和网页

ScreenTrack: Using a Visual History of a Computer Screen to Retrieve Documents and Web Pages

Donghan Hu, Sang Won Lee

摘要:

计算机用于各种目的,因此频繁的上下文切换是不可避免的。在这种情况下,检索用于任务的文档、文件和网页可能是一个挑战。虽然现代应用程序为用户恢复工作提供了最近文档的历史,但这不足以检索与给定主文档相关的所有数字资源。当前可用的历史没有考虑到跨应用程序的资源之间的复杂依赖关系。为了解决这个问题,我们测试了使用计算机屏幕的视觉历史来检索数字资源的想法,在几天内,通过开发ScreenTrack。ScreenTrack是一种定期捕获计算机屏幕截图的软件。然后,它从捕获的屏幕截图中生成一个延时视频,并让用户在通过外观识别资源后从屏幕截图中检索最近打开的文档或网页。一项受控用户研究发现,与使用现有工具的基线条件相比,参与者能够更快地使用ScreenTrack检索所需信息。一项后续研究表明,参与者使用ScreenTrack检索以前使用的资源,并恢复任务恢复的上下文。

英文摘要:

Computers are used for various purposes, so frequent context switching is inevitable. In this setting, retrieving the documents, files, and web pages that have been used for a task can be a challenge. While modern applications provide a history of recent documents for users to resume work, this is not sufficient to retrieve all the digital resources relevant to a given primary document. The histories currently available do not take into account the complex dependencies among resources across applications. To address this problem, we tested the idea of using a visual history of a computer screen to retrieve digital resources within a few days of their use through the development of ScreenTrack. ScreenTrack is software that captures screenshots of a computer at regular intervals. It then generates a time-lapse video from the captured screenshots and lets users retrieve a recently opened document or web page from a screenshot after recognizing the resource by its appearance. A controlled user study found that participants were able to retrieve requested information more quickly with ScreenTrack than under the baseline condition with existing tools. A follow-up study showed that the participants used ScreenTrack to retrieve previously used resources and to recover the context for task resumption.
