NewsStand是一个基于Web的地图应用程序，我们已经开发，使搜索空间参考信息，通过使用地图查询界面。以前，我们调整了Web版本，以在智能手机等移动的设备上执行，其中面临的主要问题是如何处理相当小的显示屏，同时保留通过浏览器访问应用程序。在目前的工作中，我们讨论的问题，我们遇到的转换基于Web的应用程序，主要是在iPhone和iPod Touch的本地应用程序。这些问题涉及如何补偿悬停动作的缺失以及如何将交互限制集成到与使用拇指作为指向机制相耦合的一只手。此外，一个重要的努力是致力于实现一个直观的机制，撤消最近的行动。其他问题包括制定导航快捷方式，以避免与支持数据库的过多流量。
NewsStand is a Web-based mapping application that we have developed to enable searching for spatially-referenced information by using a map query interface. Previously, we adapted the Web version to execute on mobile devices such as smartphones where the main issue that was confronted was how to deal with the considerably smaller display screen while retaining access to the application through the browser. In the current work we discuss the issues that we encountered in converting the Web-based application to a native App primarily on the iPhone and iPod Touch. These issues involve how to compensate for the absence of a hovering action as well as how to integrate an interaction restriction to one hand coupled with use of the thumb as the pointing mechanism. In addition, a significant effort is devoted to the implementation of an intuitive mechanism for undoing the most recent actions. Other issues include the formulation of navigation shortcuts to avoid excessive traffic with the supporting database.
