Using real-time online preprocessed mouse tracking for lower storage and transmission costs

Abstract

IntroductionWe are living in the age of information where information and communication technologies are becoming mainstream [1]. Computers and the Internet have become inseparable from our daily lives. It is now possible to do many things without the need to travel and wait; examples include, long-distance communication through online text, voice and video calls, social interaction via social media, online learning, ecommerce or online shopping, and many forms of entertainments such as online music, online videos, and online games. Most importantly, the Internet has become the primary source of information around the world.Online analytics has become a major area of interest because it enables the study of users' online behaviors. These include, users' attentions and, students' performance in online learning. Businesses also use online analytics to capture consumers' interests in AbstractPageview is the most popular webpage analytic metric in all sectors including blogs, business, e-commerce, education, entertainment, research, social media, and technology. To perform deeper analysis, additional methods are required such as mouse tracking, which can help researchers understand online user behavior on a single webpage. However, the geometrical data generated by mouse tracking are extremely large, and qualify as big data. A single swipe on a webpage from left to right can generate a megabyte (MB) of data. Fortunately, the geometrical data of each x and y point of the mouse trail are not always needed. Sometimes, analysts only need the heat map of a certain area or perhaps just a summary of the number of activities that occurred on a webpage. Therefore, recording all geometrical data is sometimes unnecessary. This work introduces preprocessing during real-time and online mouse tracking sessions. The preprocessing that is introduced converts the geometrical data from each x and y point to a region-of-interest concentration, in other words only heat map areas that the analyzer is interested in. Ultimately, the approach used here is able to greatly reduce the storage and transmission cost of real-time online mouse tracking.

Identifying Careless Responding in Web-Based Surveys

“…Survey designers can incorporate our approach into the survey testing process to evaluate how various designs affect data quality, enabling them to optimize measurement tools. A compelling application of our findings is the possibility of on-the-fly detection of careless responding (Purnama & Usagawa, 2020). Given the simplicity and straightforward implementation of our AAOI-based method, it can be applied in real-time during a survey, allowing for immediate corrective prompts or follow-up queries, thus preventing C/IER at its onset or providing opportunities to study its causes (cf.…”

Effectiveness of blending E-learning with field trip on Chinese herbal medicine education: quasi-experimental study

“…Individual course sites can be designed using different Moodle modules, including assignments, forums, quizzes, surveys, chat rooms, and workshops [18][19][20]. Many educators and researchers have explored creative ways with Moodle to build powerful and effective online courses [18,19,[21][22][23]. Importantly, Moodle is compatible with mobile devices, so students can access the material anytime and anywhere.…”

Application of Intelligent Analysis Technology of Football Video Based on Online Target Tracking Algorithm of Motion Characteristics in Football Training

“…Li et al [ 10 ] directly used the histogram of RGB components to extract the site information, then divided the image to obtain the position of players, used the method of template matching and Kalman filtering to track players, and used histogram back projection to deal with players' occlusion, but the stability of the algorithm is poor. Fajar and Usagawa [ 11 ] made use of the images captured by several static cameras placed on the court according to the strategy, generated the observation model based on the data fusion of multicamera coordinates, projected it on the court plane, and generated a multipeak bidirectional probability function, which represents the possible positions of players on the court plane. Liu and Dai [ 12 ] put forward that Canny edge extraction is integrated into optical flow field segmentation technology.…”
