本文介绍了一种新的数字用户研究工具称为移动的探针。移动的探针产生于需要开发上下文和动态的自我记录工具，用于研究人们在移动的上下文中的行为。试点研究中使用的技术是基于具有GPRS连接的双频移动的电话和外部配件数码相机。还开发了一个数据共享和分类系统。该系统使用Java软件实现，使设备能够发送和接收数据，并使用PHP脚本发送和编辑问题，并通过动态Web服务器查看答案。另一项试点研究是利用一个操作时空移动的日志的灵活平台进行的。研究结果表明，移动的探针是一种很有前途的方式进行用户研究。讨论了该工具未来发展的思路。
This paper describes a new digital user study tool called Mobile Probes. Mobile Probes arose from a need to develop contextual and dynamic self-documenting tools for studying people's actions in mobile contexts. The technology used in the pilot study was based on dual band mobile phones with GPRS connections and an external accessory digital camera. A system was also developed for sharing and sorting the data. The system was implemented with Java software to enable the device to send and receive data, and PHP scripting to send and edit the questions and to view the answers through a dynamic web server. Another pilot study was conducted with a flexible platform that operates a spatio-temporal mobile log. The results of the studies show that Mobile Probes are a promising way to conduct user studies. Ideas for future development of the tool are discussed.
