Original Kurzfassung:
Smartphones and tablets are an indispensable part of modern
communication and people spend considerable time interacting with their devices every day. While substantial research
has been conducted concerning smartphone usage, little is
known about how tablets are used. This paper studies mobile
device usage characteristics like session length, interaction
frequency, and daily usage in locked and unlocked state with
respect to location context. Based on logs from 1,585 Android devices (470 years of total usage time), we derive and
analyze 23 million usage sessions. We found that devices
remain locked for 60\% of the interactions and usage at home
occurs twice as frequent as at work. With an average of 58
interactions per day, smartphones are used twice as often as
tablets, while tablet sessions are 2.5 times longer, resulting
in almost equal aggregated daily usage. We conclude that usage session characteristics differ considerably between tablets
and smartphones.
