Rhythm Tap Technique for Cross-Device Interaction Enabling Uniform Operation for Various Devices

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This paper proposes a novel interaction technique to transfer data across various types of digital devices in uniform a manner and to allow specifying what kind of data should be sent.In our framework, when users tap multiple devices rhythmically, data corresponding to the rhythm (transfer type) are transferred from a device tapped in the first tap (source device) to the other (target device).It is easy to operate, applicable to a wide range of devices, and extensible in a sense that we can adopt new transfer types by adding new rhythms.Through a subjective evaluation and a simulation, we had a prospect that our approach would be feasible.We also discuss suggestions and limitation to implement the technique.
