Abstract

Due to limited screen space on mobile computers, device GUIs can span multiple screens-requiring tedious scrolling and tabbing for commands. History-based device GUIs can significantly reduce required space by only presenting the commands a user typically needs based on the user's behavior over a short training period. Moreover, history-based UIs and model-based UI generation are symbiotic. Generation relieves programmers from the overhead of logging and interpreting the interaction histories. Conversely, history-based user-interaction noticeably lowers inherent UI generation time by omitting unneeded commands.
