Abstract : The fast spread of smartphones in recent years is quite remarkable. This is because their operability has been greatly improved compared to that of feature phones. Recently, various applications specifically designed for more efficient “reading” on smartphone are being released. However, smartphone-based reading has some serious problems. Firstly, it is difficult to follow a line of text. Secondly, there is another issue: accidentally tapping on advertisements (mistaps). These are the problems that significantly deteriorate the convenience of reading on smartphone. Therefore, in this research, in order to improve readability on smartphones, we aim to develop interfaces and applications that solve these two problems.
