Critical analysis and evaluation of interactive and customised applications on mobile television : interactive and customised mobile television applications are evaluated using the views of consumers, advertisers, and telecommunications operators with regard to services and also assessing the usability of mobile devices

Al Sheik Salem, Omar fuad abed al whab January 2011 (has links)
The shift of media from traditional forms to new digital ones has raised the possibility of new kinds of media services, including mobile television. In today's communications market, mobile phones are of increasing importance to users and, since mobile devices are connected most of the time, they have a high degree of location independence. The availability of 3G technology and the mobile devices needed to implement mobile television are now established and available. Mobile television is expected to be an important new service that could penetrate the market place and provide new applications, as well as create a market for new players and new investments, if the appropriate price, content and philosophy for content design are found. This research explores the many potential application areas for mobile TV, with a particular focus on advertising. Various organisations that seek success in this market can utilise the potential for advertising on mobile TV. Ultimately, mobile device users are able to use mobile TV for entertainment and information sourcing. However, a number of challenging issues remain to be addressed. The features that appealed to the consumers were studied in this research. Surveys were conducted to obtain an understanding of consumers' opinions and needs regarding the mobile TV experience. Many users clearly do like to interact with video content on mobile devices. Interactive mobile TV advertising can benefit users who will be able to use an essentially 'free' mobile TV service, funded by an advertising model. This research proposes an environment for interactive advertising on mobile TV and discussion of an implementation of the proposed designs.

Surfaces malléables pour l'interaction mobile et tangible à distance / Malleable Interactive surfaces for distant mobile tangible interaction

Rosso, Juan 14 December 2018 (has links)
Les curseurs sont l'un des widgets les plus utilisés pour contrôler les paramètres continus - par exemple, luminosité, volume sonore, température d'une maison intelligente, etc. Sur les téléphones mobiles, les curseurs sont représentés graphiquement, nécessitant l'attention visuelle de l'utilisateur. Ils sont principalement exploités avec un seul pouce. Alors que les curseurs de grande taille offrent de meilleures performances, ils présentent des zones difficiles à atteindre pour le pouce. Cet article explore différentes conceptions de curseurs tangibles pour offrir une interaction sans yeux et efficace avec le pouce. Les nouveaux concepts que nous avons explorés sont basés sur un espace de conception englobant des solutions graphiques et des solutions tangibles inexplorées. Pour évaluer nos conceptions, nous avons construit des prototypes et les avons testés expérimentalement dans trois expériences. Dans notre première expérience, nous avons analysé l'impact sur la performance de la longueur du curseur tangible: soit dans la zone confortable du pouce ou non. Dans notre deuxième expérience, nous avons analysé la performance d'un design tangible extensible qui permet un fonctionnement dans la zone confortable du pouce. Dans notre troisième expérience, nous avons analysé la performance d'un design tangible bimodal déformable qui permet un fonctionnement dans la zone confortable du pouce, et au-delà de cette zone, avec l'index sur le dos de l'appareil. Ce travail contribue à la littérature en: premièrement, en fournissant un espace de conception pour une interaction à une main avec des éléments tangibles déformables. Deuxièmement, analyser l'impact sur la performance lors de la manipulation de curseurs tangibles en dehors de la zone confortable du pouce. Et troisièmement, analyser l'impact de la déformation lors de la manipulation / Sliders are one of the most used widgets to control continuous parameters - e.g., brightness, sound volume, the temperature of a smart house, etc. On mobile phones, sliders are represented graphically, requiring the user's visual attention. They are mostly operated with a single thumb. While large sliders offer better performance, they present areas difficult for the thumb to reach. This article explores different tangible slider designs to offer eyes-free and efficient interaction with the thumb. The novel designs that we explored are based on a design space encompassing graphical solutions and the unexplored tangible solutions. To evaluate our designs, we built prototypes and experimentally tested them in three experiments. In our first experiment, we analyzed the impact on the performance of the tangible slider's length: either within the thumb's comfortable area or not. In our second experiment, we analyzed the performance of an extensible tangible design that allows operation within the comfortable area of the thumb. In our third experiment, we analyzed the performance of a bi-modal deformable tangible design that allows operation within the comfortable area of the thumb, and beyond this area, with the index finger on the back of the device. This work contributes to the literature by: first, providing a design space for one-handed interaction with deformable tangible elements. Second, analyzing the impact on performance when manipulating tangible sliders outside the thumb's comfortable area. And third, analyzing the impact that deformation has during manipulation.

Increasing the expressive power of gesture-based interaction on mobile devices / Augmenter le pouvoir d'expression de l'interaction gestuelle sur les appareils mobiles

Alvina, Jessalyn 13 December 2017 (has links)
Les interfaces mobiles actuelles permettent aux utilisateurs de manipuler directement les objets affichés à l’écran avec de simples gestes, par exemple cliquer sur des boutons ou des menus ou pincer pour zoomer. Pour accéder à un espace de commande plus large, les utilisateurs sont souvent forcés de passer par de nombreuses étapes, rendant l’interaction inefficace et laborieuse. Des gestes plus complexes sont un moyen puissant d’accéder rapidement à l’information ainsi que d’exécuter des commandes plus efficacement [5]. Ils sont en revanche plus difficiles à apprendre et à contrôler. Le “Gesture Typing” (saisie de texte par geste) est une alternative intéressante au texte tapé: il permet aux utilisateurs de dessiner un geste sur leur clavier virtuel pour entrer du texte, depuis la première jusqu’à la dernière lettre d’un mot. Dans cette thèse, j’augmente le pouvoir d’expression de l’interaction mobile en tirant profit de la forme et la dynamique du geste et de l’espace d'écran, pour invoquer des commandes ainsi que pour faciliter l’appropriation dans différents contextes d’usage. Je conçois "Expressive Keyboard", qui transforme la variation du geste en un résultat riche et je démontre plusieurs applications dans le contexte de la communication textuelle. Et plus, je propose "CommandBoard", un clavier gestuel qui permet aux utilisateurs de sélectionner efficacement des commandes parmi un vaste choix tout en supportant la transition entre les novices et les experts. Je démontre plusieurs applications de "CommandBoard", dont chacune offre aux utilisateurs un choix basé sur leurs compétences cognitives et moteur, ainsi que différentes tailles et organisations de l’ensemble des commandes. Ensemble, ces techniques donnent un plus grand pouvoir expressif aux utilisateurs en tirant profit de leur contrôle moteur et de leur capacité à apprendre, à contrôler et à s’approprier. / Current mobile interfaces let users directly manipulate the objects displayed on the screen with simple stroke gestures, e.g. tap on soft buttons or menus or pinch to zoom. To access a larger command space, the users are often forced to go through long steps, making the interaction cumbersome and inefficient. More complex gestures offer a powerful way to access information quickly and to perform a command more efficiently [5]. However, they are more difficult to learn and control. Gesture typing [78] is an interesting alternative to input text: it lets users draw a gesture on soft keyboards to enter text, from the first until the final letter in a word. In this thesis, I increase the expressive power of mobile interaction by leveraging the gesture’s shape and dynamics and the screen space to produce rich output, to invoke commands, and to facilitate appropriation in different contexts of use. I design "Expressive Keyboard" that transforms the gesture variations into rich output, and demonstrate several applications in the context of textbased communication. As well, I propose "CommandBoard", a gesture keyboard that lets users efficiently select commands from a large command space while supporting the transition from novices to experts. I demonstrate different applications of "CommandBoard", each offers users a choice, based on their cognitive and motor skills, as well as the size and organization of the current command set. Altogether, these techniques give users more expressive power by leveraging human’s motor control and cognitive ability to learn, to control, and to appropriate.

Effects of Different Display Form Factors on InfoVis Applications: Exploring Selection Management and Brushing and Linking for Mobile Cross-Device Interaction

Flemisch, Tamara 16 June 2020 (has links)
Diese Arbeit untersucht wie man mit mehreren, miteinander koordinierten Mobilgeräten Selektionen verwalten und Brushing und Linking unterstützen kann. Im Rahmen der Arbeit wird ein konzeptionelles Framework zur Selektionsverwaltung für mehrere Geräte angedacht und ein Konzept zur Selektionsverwaltung vorstellt, das Brushing und Linking für Mobilgeräte unterstützt. Des Weiteren werden Ziele für den Prototypen erörtert, die zur Umsetzung das Konzept beitragen. Mobile Geräte werden immer häufiger für Informationsvisualisierungen verwendet. Jedoch wurde bisher noch nicht untersucht, wie gängige Interaktionstechniken, wie Brushing und Linking, für diese Geräte anpassen werden müssen. Während des Brushings, werden zusätzlich Selektionen erstellt, für die es bislang keine Art der Verwaltung für Mobilgeräte gibt. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht wie man Brushing und Linking mit mehreren Mobilgeräten unterstützen kann und Selektionen gleichzeitig verwalten kann.:1 Introduction 1.1 Contributions 1.2 Motivation and Background 1.3 Goals 1.4 Research Questions 1.5 Thesis Overview 2.

We discuss thoughts for a conceptual framework for selection management in multi-device environments. We then present a concept for managing selections and supporting brushing and linking for co-located mobile devices. Finally, we are providing an overview of and the goals for our proof-of-concept prototype. More and more mobile devices are used for visualization. However, it is still an open question how to adjust common interaction techniques, such as brushing and linking, for mobile devices. Furthermore, it has not been addressed how to manage the selections that are created through brushing. We explore how brushing and linking can be used in a setting with multiple, co-located mobile devices and how to manage its selections.:1 Introduction 1.1 Contributions 1.2 Motivation and Background 1.3 Goals 1.4 Research Questions 1.5 Thesis Overview 2.
