Abstract

Seeing the final score of a sports match on the Web often spoils the pleasure of a user who is waiting to watch a recording of this match on TV. This paper proposes four information clouding methods to block spoiling information, and describes implementation of a system using these methods as a browser extension. We then experimentally investigate the usefulness of the methods, taking into account their differences, differences in the variety of content, and differences in the user's interest in sports.
