越来越多的人使用平板电脑执行各种任务，如浏览网站、阅读和撰写电子邮件、做笔记，甚至创建业务文档，他们通常需要输入文本。当人们用平板电脑输入文本时，他们通常使用平板电脑触摸屏上的软件键盘。与通常允许用户将其指尖放在按键上的硬件键盘不同，软件键盘要求用户将其指尖保持在空中，除非他们实际上通过敲击屏幕来执行输入，这可能导致用户疲劳。在本文中，我们提出了一种用于平板电脑的日语软件键盘，可以减少用户的疲劳。我们的软件键盘允许用户将他/她的指尖放在触摸屏上，通过区分用户的有意点击和他/她触摸屏幕而不打算输入。我们通过进行用户研究来评估键盘，并将其与基于正常敲击的软件键盘进行比较。用户研究的结果表明，我们的软件键盘引起的疲劳，在他们的身体的几个区域比正常键盘的用户，虽然它导致了更长的平均时间长度和更差的平均错误率的用户的文本输入。
Increasingly more people are using tablets for various tasks such as browsing websites, reading and writing email messages, making notes, and even creating business documents, for which they often need to enter text. When people enter text with tablets, they usually use software keyboards on the touch screens of the tablets. Unlike hardware keyboards that normally allow users to put their fingertips on keys, software keyboards require users to keep their fingertips in the air except when they actually perform input by tapping the screens, which may cause fatigue to the users. In this paper, we propose a Japanese software keyboard for tablets that reduces user fatigue. Our software keyboard allows its user to put his/her fingertips on the touch screen by distinguishing the user's intended tapping from his/her touching the screen without intending to input. We evaluated the keyboard by conducting a user study that compared it with a software keyboard based on normal tapping. The results of the user study show that our software keyboard caused less fatigue to the users in several regions of their bodies than the normal keyboard, although it resulted in a longer average time length and a worse average error rate of the users' text entry.
