An Application Search Interface Including Sense-related Search Facets
Pages 463 - 466
Abstract
An iPhone application called "Wonder Search" for application search has been developed under the hypothesis that a search interface included sense-related search facets gives a better chance of finding new applications for users. The search facets comprise five attributes: icon color, icon tone, application category, user evaluation, and release date. We enhanced a ring-structured graphical search interface for multi-faceted metadata to solve two reported usability problems by preparing dials for each facet and dividing the functions for ring rotation into two operations. Usability testing with 60 participants demonstrated that users can use this application not only for searching for applications effectively but also for analyzing the features of applications. The application can potentially be used for sensing the emotions of users if the hypothesis that the colors browsed or selected by users are related to their feelings is correct.

User Emotion Sensing in Search Process based on Chromatic Sensation
HuEvent '14: Proceedings of the 1st ACM International Workshop on Human Centered Event Understanding from MultimediaThe sensing of user emotion in the Web space is typically performed using user logs, e.g., pages visiting by users and/or the texts input by users. These techniques are essentially based on text to identify the target in which the users showed interest. ...
