Abstract

Touch screen technologies are widely used as the basic input for mobile devices. However, for smartphones, touch screens have been utilized as a simple device that merely process text data. It has been considered an inappropriate multimedia input device for one to use design applications, such as painting, due to its narrow touch screen space, which makes it inconvenient to draw pictures. In this study, we propose to enhance this weakness by using infrared approach on a smartphone`s input interface. The usage of infrared approach will allow for quick and accurate operations without facing any space constraints. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of the design and implementation of a smartphone user interface using infrared pointing device. Additionally, using experimental results, we prove that our proposed approach is more convenient and efficient than traditional touch screen approaches used in smartphones.
