最近的几项研究强调需要支持多个设备并行使用以实现跨设备使用。然而，当今的大多数界面仍然是为单设备使用而设计的，需要重新创作才能实现跨设备交互。本文提出了两项研究，为支持半自动生成跨设备界面的新型网络浏览器的设计提供信息。根据最近一项用户手动定制网页以供跨设备使用的研究结果，我们的第一项研究从用户那里引出了他们可能希望如何触发流行的跨设备模式，以相对较少的努力来改变单一设备的设计。然后，我们的第二项研究探讨了如何将新兴设计模式应用于 Alexa 排名前 50 的 10 个不同类型的网站。基于这些研究，我们设计了用于页面分割和在多个设备之间分发的半自动技术，该技术可以在许多现有网站上运行，并且只需要最少的用户输入即可在不同的跨设备设计之间切换。最后，我们讨论了 Chrome 网络浏览器的可能扩展，以使这些技术可用于各种桌面、移动和可穿戴设备，并在流行网站上成功测试它们。
Several recent studies have highlighted the need to support parallel usage of multiple devices for cross-device use. Yet, most interfaces today are still designed for single-device use and require re-authoring to enable cross-device interaction. This paper presents two studies to inform the design of a new web browser with support for semi-automatic generation of cross-device interfaces. Based on the results of a recent study in which users manually customized web pages for cross-device use, our first study elicits from users how they might want to trigger popular cross-device patterns to transform single-device designs with relatively little effort. Our second study then examines how the emerging design patterns could be applied to the Alexa top 50 sites from 10 different genres. Based on these studies, we design semi-automatic techniques for page segmentation and distribution between multiple devices that can work on many existing web sites and require only minimal user input to switch between different cross-device designs. Finally, we discuss possible extensions to the Chrome web browser to make the techniques available for a wide range of desktop, mobile, and wearable devices, and successfully test them on popular web sites.
