  2. Dialog Styles 1. Command languages 2. WIMP - Window, Icon, Menu, Pointer 3. Direct manipulation 4. Speech/natural language 5. Gesture & pen CS / Psych 6750

  3. Agenda • PDA overview • Pen input styles CS / Psych 6750

  4. How to use a PDA CS / Psych 6750

  5. Personal Digital Asst. (PDA) Apple iPhone Palm Treo Dell / Asus A639 GPS PDA Apple Newton (1993) Blackberry Curve CS / Psych 6750

  6. PDAs • Now ubiquitous • Small displays • Often touch and pen interfaces • Small thumb-based keyboards • Recent Improvements • Wi-Fi, GPS, more memory, better CPU, better OS, BlueTooth CS / Psych 6750

  7. Is it a PDA? Phone? GPS? Camera? Computer? • Line between devices is blurred today • Apple iPhone – phone, MP3 player, PDA, camera • Palm Treo 700w – phone, Windows computer, PDA, camera • Asus MyPal – Windows computer, GPS device CS / Psych 6750

  8. No Shredder… CS / Psych 6750

  9. Input Options • Pen / Stylus is dominant form • Main techniques • Free-form ink • Soft keyboard • Numeric keyboard => text • Stroke recognition - strokes not in the shape of characters • Hand printing / writing recognition • Sometimes have or can connect keyboard CS / Psych 6750

  10. Free-form Ink • Ink is the data, take as is • Human is responsible forunderstanding andinterpretation • Like a sketch pad CS / Psych 6750

  11. Soft Keyboards • Common on PDAs and mobile devices CS / Psych 6750

  12. Soft Keyboard • Presents a small diagram of keyboard • You click on buttons/keys with pen or finger • QWERTY vs. alphabetical • Tradeoffs? • Alternatives? Apple iPhone soft keyboard CS / Psych 6750

  13. Numeric Keypad -T9 • Tegic Communications developed • You press out letters of your word, it matches the most likely word, then gives optional choices • Faster than multiple presses per key • Used in mobile phones • www.tegic.com/t9 CS / Psych 6750

  14. Stroke Recognition - Graffiti • Graffiti - Unistroke alphabet on Palm PDA • What are yourexperienceswith Graffiti? • Graffiti demo: • mms://199.77.128.107/pub/hcirep/demos/DEMO-palm.wmv CS / Psych 6750

  15. Stroke Recognition - Cirrin • Developed by Jen Mankoff (GT -> Berkeley CS Faculty) • Word-level unistroke technique • UIST ‘98 paper • Use stylus to go from one letterto the next -> CS / Psych 6750

  16. Hand Printing & Hand Writing Recognition • Recognizing letters and numbers and special symbols • Lots of commercial systems • English, kanji, etc. • Not perfect, but people aren’t either! • People - 96% handprinted single characters • Computer - >97% is really good • OCR (Optical Character Recognition) CS / Psych 6750

  17. Recognition Issues • Off-line vs. On-line • Off-line: After all writing is done, speed not an issue, only quality. • Work with either a bit map or vector sequence • On-line: Must respond in real-time - but have richer set of features - acceleration, velocity, pressure • Use best-guess pattern matching, including digram, trigram probabilities and word lists to remove ambiguity • 1 I l CS / Psych 6750

  18. More Issues • Boxed vs. Free-Form input • Sometimes encounter boxes on forms • Printed vs. Cursive • Cursive is much more difficult to impossible • Letters vs. Words • Cursive is easier to do in words vs individual letters, as words create more context CS / Psych 6750

  19. Pen Gesture Commands • Might mean delete • Insert • Paragraph Define a series of (hopefully) simple drawing gesturesthat mean different commands in a system CS / Psych 6750

  20. Pen Use Modes • Often, want a mix of free-form drawing and special commands • How does user switch modes? • Mode icon on screen • Button on pen • Button on device CS / Psych 6750

  21. Error Correction • Having to correct errors can slow input tremendously • Strategies • Erase and try again • When uncertain system shows list of best guesses • ... CS / Psych 6750

  22. A Different Application • Signature verification • But not with a mouse :) CS / Psych 6750

  23. Multi-touch interfaces • Apple iPhone Capacitive touchscreen: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html#touch Gestures: flick, tap, pinch, un-pinch http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html#map CS / Psych 6750
