rOWARDS UNIFORM USER INTERFACES IN AN OFFICE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
نویسنده
چکیده
The facilities provided by an office automation system must be efficiently usable by a wide variety of different user group_, each of which has definable characteristics with respect to skills, which should be exploited by,and expectations, which should be satisfied by, the user-system interface. There are three basic dialog formats which may be "_,combined to implement this interaction: menu, command, and softkey. An examination of the respective characteristics of dialog formats and user classes leads to the conclusion that a softkey interface best satisfies the needs of the widest range of users and thus should form the basis for most of the interaction. Examples are given of how uniformity of interaction of existing office utility programs with menu and command interfaces may be improved by m"odifyingthose programs to use softkeys. The modifications may be done in a way which allows all classes of users to shift from the existing interface to the new interface without retraining. Les ressources offertes par un systeme de bureautique doivent pouvoir etre utilisees de fa~on efficace par une variete de classes d'utilisateurs differentes qui ont des caracteristiques identifiables du point de vue des competences, que l'interface utilisateur-systeme doit exploiter, et des attentes auxquelles il doit satisfaire. 11 exis>e trois modes de dialogue de base que l'on peut combiner pour mettre en oeuvre l'interaction: menu, commande et touche personnalisable. Suite a une etude des caracteristiques respectives des modes de dialogue et des classes d'utilisateurs on conclut qu'une interface a touche personnalisable repond le mieux auxbesoins de la plus grande' gamme d'utilisateurs et qu'elle devrait donc servir de base a la plus grande partie du dialogue. On donne des exemples sur la fa~on d'ameliorer l'uniformite de dialogue des programmes utilitaires de bureau existants, munis d'interfaces de mode menu et de commande, en les convertissant a une interface a touche personnalisable. Les modifications peuvent etre faites de fa~on a permettre a toutes les classes d'utilisateurs de passer de l'interface existante a une nouvelle interface sans qu'un recyclage soit necessaire.

Service robots are meant to automate tasks formerly performed by humans. They are foreseen to be useful, e.g. to elderly or to people with disabling conditions, or to anyone longing for automation taking over home/office tasks. As service robots are mobile, interfaces must take this mobility into account. Interaction situations include the co-located, the teleoperated, the autonomous, and the t...
