ABSTRACT

With the development of information technologies, touch screen-based mobile devices like smartphone and tablet PC have been widely provided. These smart devices usually employ touch gesture, which is a simple and intuitive way of interaction such as tab and pinch on the screen. In this paper, we implemented a gesture library to manipulate smartphone maps for improvement of user access to the web map services. Our gesture library included the functionalities for touch gesture, air gesture, and joystick gesture that enable more convenient manipulation of smartphone maps. We also built a prototype application to test the feasibility of our library and made sure each functionality for gesture interface worked properly. Because our library consists of several objects and functions that can be easily used by program developers, a variety of smartphone apps with gesture interface can be implemented simply by liking web maps. Our library includes a novel method for gesture that has not been tried for smartphone maps and can be extended in the form of HTML5 which allows for an OS-independent library for smart devices.
