Our technique delivered 86.5 % accuracy (user-independent) on a dataset of 119 participants (89 children ages 3 to 6) when classifying each touch event one at a time and up to 99 % accuracy when using a window of 7+ consecutive touches. Our results establish that it is possible to reliably classify a smartphone user on the fly as a child or an adult with high accuracy using only basic data about their touches, and will inform new, automatically adaptive interfaces for touch-screen devices. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01610821/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01610821/file/346948_1_En_1_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01610821 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01610821 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-9299
