Abstract: A series of studies were conducted to explore the factors influencing smartphone use in our research (as shown in Fig.1). Firstly, we analyzed the smartphone data of anonymous users and compared the participants’ communication indicators in the office and at home. We found that smartphone usage behavior was significantly different in two contexts. We also found that there were similarities in some behaviors, such as the floor effect of SMS. Then we conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews. Three level coding of text from interviews and phenomenon showed that the factors were constituted by users’ needs and context factors.
