ABSTRACT
A well-known bottleneck of contemporary mobile devices is the inefficient and error-prone touchscreen keyboard. We have developed UbiK, an alternative portable text-entry method that allows user to type on a piece of paper, placed on solid surfaces like wood desktop. UbiK leverages the microphones on a mobile device to accurately localize the keystrokes through fine-grained acoustic fingerprinting. We have implemented UbiK as an Android application. Our experiments demonstrate that UbiK is able to achieve above 95% of localization accuracy. In this demonstration, we will show how Ubik works with an external paper keyboard (Figure 1) for a smartphone and a 7-inch tablet. User participation will be welcome in this live demo.

Ubiquitous keyboard for small mobile devices: harnessing multipath fading for fine-grained keystroke localization
MobiSys '14: Proceedings of the 12th annual international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and servicesA well-known bottleneck of contemporary mobile devices is the inefficient and error-prone touchscreen keyboard. In this paper, we propose UbiK, an alternative portable text-entry method that allows user to make keystrokes on conventional surfaces, e.g., ...
Demo: Fusing Mobile Sensors for Paper Keyboard On-the-Go
MobiSys '17: Proceedings of the 15th Annual International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and ServicesUsing touchscreens has largely limited user inputs to small form-factor devices. To address this constraint, we explore a novel input mechanism, dubbed PaperKey, that enables users to interact with mobile devices by performing multi-finger typing ...
DEMO: Starving Permission-Hungry Android Apps Using SecuRank
CCS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications SecurityWe demonstrate SecuRank, a tool that can be employed by Android smartphone users to replace their currently installed apps with functionally-similar ones that require less sensitive access to their device. SecuRank works by using text mining on the app ...
