Description
Summary:Different from the traditional office software, due to the limited storage and computational capability of mobile devices, how to support the page editing in a fast and energy-efficient manner is fundamental. To address this challenge, we propose an MR*-tree based indexing mechanism for supporting the fast and energy-efficient retrieval of spatial objects in mobile PowerPoint pages. Based on this, techniques are developed to support the operations when editing mobile PowerPoint pages. Prototype has been implemented for facilitating the operations of spatial objects when editing mobile PowerPoint pages. Experimental evaluations on computers, pads, and smart phones show the effectiveness and efficiency of this technique.
