论文摘要
随着对移动信息检索领域的不断增长以及移动设备的持续快速开发以及移动应用程序的持续快速开发，主动研究领域在于研究用户的行为和搜索查询用户在移动设备上提交的查询。但是，许多研究人员需要开发一个应用程序，该应用程序在用户搜索手机或参与用户研究时从用户那里收集有用的信息。在本文中，我们旨在通过提供一个称为Omicron的全面Android应用程序来满足这一需求，该应用程序可用于收集移动查询日志并在移动设备上执行用户研究。 Omicron以当前版本可以收集用户的移动查询，相关文档，传感器数据以及各种研究设置中的用户活动和交互数据。此外，我们设计了Omicron的方式，可以方便地进行更具体的研究并收集其他类型的传感器数据。最后，我们提供了一种工具来监视参与者及其在收集过程中和之后的数据。
With the ever-growing interest in the area of mobile information retrieval and the ongoing fast development of mobile devices and, as a consequence, mobile apps, an active research area lies in studying users' behavior and search queries users submit on mobile devices. However, many researchers require to develop an app that collects useful information from users while they search on their phones or participate in a user study. In this paper, we aim to address this need by providing a comprehensive Android app, called Omicron, which can be used to collect mobile query logs and perform user studies on mobile devices. Omicron, at its current version, can collect users' mobile queries, relevant documents, sensor data as well as user activity and interaction data in various study settings. Furthermore, we designed Omicron in such a way that it is conveniently extendable to conduct more specific studies and collect other types of sensor data. Finally, we provide a tool to monitor the participants and their data both during and after the collection process.
