Abstract:
People interact with their smartphones in many different ways depending on the phone size, the application itself, or simply whether the user is left or right-handed. From the developer side of view, it can be beneficial to know how the user operates the phone in order to adjust and adapt the user interface accordingly. Therefore, this paper proposes a model that can predict the holding posture of a smartphone at runtime. The model gets the smartphone IMU data on each interaction with the display as well as the location where the user pressed onto the display as input and outputs the most likely holding posture. By using each interaction individually, the model is able to predict which hand is holding the phone at runtime with an accuracy of 89.3%.
