Mobile Book Reader Based on Reading Behavior Characteristics

Abstract

With the rapid development of the network communication technology and the popularity of mobile devices, mobile reading has become an essential reading approach. Aiming at the shortcomings of reading applications on the mobile platform such as the deficiency on the strategy of caching books and the lack of predicting reading pages with current power, we developed a mobile book reader (MBR) for android devices. It can dynamically cache the page contents to be read according to users' reading speed, and predict the number of reading pages supported by remaining power in text and voice reading modes. We tested the space occupancy of cache files and remaining reading time. The experimental results show that the cache strategy in MBR can effectively relieve the storage pressure of the device, and the prediction of remaining reading time helps users to arrange the reading plan. © 2020 IEEE.
