ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe a novel interaction method for interacting with mobile devices without the need to access a keypad or a display. A tap with a hand can be reliably detected e.g. through a pocket by means of an acceleration sensor. By carefully designing the user interface, the tap can be used to activate logically similar functionalities on the device, leading to a simple but useful interaction method. We present results of user tests aimed at studying the usability of various tap input based user interface applications.

Exploring finger specific touch screen interaction for mobile phone user interfaces
OzCHI '14: Proceedings of the 26th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference on Designing Futures: the Future of DesignToday, mobile phones with touch screens are widespread but as de facto, the interaction space is limited to single finger taps or multitouch gestures. In this paper, we present an investigation of a novel interaction concept for mobile phone touch ...
