The
e
Europe and i2010 Initiatives
•
Launched by the European Commission in 2000: “
eEurope 2002
–
An Information Society For All”
•
Intended to accelerate positive change in the EU
•
Aims to:
•
secure equal access to digital systems and services for all citizens
•
promote computer literacy and
•
create a partnership environment based on trust and enterprise
•
Ultimate objective: bring everyone in Europe on
-
line
•
Building on this success, in June 2002 the initiative was extended
into
eEurope Action Plan 2005
•
i2010 was
launched in 2005, complemented in 2007

from only being able to make a call and use voice

mail to
•
downloadable personalization achieved through

ring signals,
•
software programs such as games and

Introduction and background (2/2)
•
Connectivity and interoperability between
•
telephony networks,
•
personal computing,
•
the Internet, and
•
ever
-
smarter mobile terminals and services
•
Offer enormous potential for improving life.
•
Concern about whether next
-
generation products, services and their content will
provide a good user experience and be fully accessible to all people, including:
•
generic users,
•
less literate users,
•
children,
•
aging and disabled users.
•
Ensuring access to mobile communication for all is a common goal

vendors, operators, service providers,
•
users associations,

The “Usability Gap”
•
“Featurism”
-
product complexity increasing
•
Range of mobile technology users broadening
–
from
children to elderly and disabled
World Class Standards
19
Decreasing the “Usability Gap”
•
Possible ways to decrease complexity include:
•
understanding of user needs;
•
excellent user interfaces;
•
simplicity of configuration;
•
personalization capabilities and
•
ease of operation.
•
Also the “usability gap” can be helped by:
•
technological advances (e.g. better speech recognition);
•
a maturing ICT industry.

disabilities into account.
World Class Standards
25
Rationale for generic UI elements
•
Manufacturers differentiate their products through industrial and
screen design, feature sets and UIs
•
Generic UI elements are accepted
•
in safety
-
relevant products (e.g. cars),
•
for products to be used by many people (products in public or work
environments), and
•
In UIs following de
-
facto standards (GUIs in PC software or musical
instruments).
World Class Standards
26
Rationale for generic UI elements
•
Generic UI elements result from
•
De
-
facto standards (e.g. GUIs), and from
•
official standardisation (e.g. keypad arrangement on
public phones).
•
Generic UI elements potentially benefit all,
•
end users,
•
manufacturers, and
•
service providers.
•
Can facilitate the uptake of new and emerging
technologies and user interfaces, e.g.:
•
ETSI ES 202 130 Character repertoires, ordering rules
and keypad assignment (under expansion)
•
ETSI ES 202 076 Generic spoken command vocabulary
(under expansion)
World Class Standards
27
Rationale for generic UI elements
•
Basic considerations of what makes a UI area a candidate for
generic UI elements:
•
No barrier to innovation
•
No obstacle to good product
-
specific user interfaces
•
Only the semantic of a generic user
-
interface element should be
specified, not the actual design and implementation
•
End
-
user aspects, such as learnability, familiarity, trust, configuration
and access
•
Commercial aspects (quicker uptake of new technologies, larger user
base)
•
Legal requirements and possible regulation
