Optimizing smartphone micro-usage with smartwatch notifications

Boekbijdrage - Boekhoofdstuk Conferentiebijdrage

In this paper, the influence of a smartwatch application on smartphone micro-usage, brief bursts of interaction Ferreira et al. , among students is investigated. Our study indicates that social applications, such as WhatsApp, SMS or e-mail are used most by students. These applications tend to generate numerous notifications, which often result in brief bursts of smartphone use, which is called micro-usage. We propose three novel ways of handling notifications on a smartwatch, in order to reduce micro-usage. The first proposal receives input through on-screen buttons, the second by tapping the edges of the device and the third by drawing gestures on the screen. An evaluation of our design shows an increase of 5% of application micro-usage and a decrease of 5% of the general smartphone micro-usage.
