In this paper, a new touch user interface which is based on the hand operations of dragging and diversion is presented. With it, convenience and quickness for inputting of texts as well as searching and selecting of multi-layered menus are improved. The new interface also applies relative coordinate systems which display texts on the touch positions corresponding to the moving of touch location. It accommodates more text codes than those in conventional fixed coordinate systems which allocates texts to fixed location on touch screen. The suggested interface is implemented to IPTV remote control and set-top box to prove its practicality and effectiveness.

Panning tasks caused by both a small screen and the lower resolution of handheld devices are known to decrease the usability of a mobile internet service. To solve this problem, we proposed FTND, an improved version of Tap-N-Drag widely used in various mobile web browsers. 30 participants performed the panning tasks with FTND embedded in combinations of 2 panning directions of Push Background user interface and Push Viewpoint user interface and 5 panning ratios of 100% (a panning ratio of Tap- N-Drag), 300%, 500%, 700%, and 900%. The usability of FTND was assessed by an objective performance and a subjective preference. The objective performance was measured by a task completion time, the number of clicks, and the number of pixels. The subjective preference was measured by satisfaction, accuracy and ease of use. Push Viewpoint user interface at the panning ratios of 300%, 500%, and 700% proved to be the most efficient way for panning tasks with small handheld devices when performing the task by using the right hand thumb.

In this paper, we suggest a haptic interface and a framework of interaction with haptic feedback based Windows graphical user interface (GUI) in a computing device with touch screen. The events that occur during a user interacts with Windows interfaces through a touch screen are filtered out by the Windows Interface Message Filter (WIMF) and converted into appropriate haptic feedback information by the Haptic Information Provider (HIP). The haptic information are conveyed to users through a stylus-like haptic interface interacting with a touch screen. Major Windows interaction schemes including button click, menu selection/pop-up, window selection/movement, icon selection/drag & drop and scroll have been implemented and user tests show the improved usability since the haptic feedback helps intuition and precise manipulation.

This paper is implemented new shopping mall by using Ajax(Asynchronous Javascript and XML) technique which makes loading speed down and user-friendly user interface that is different to other Web sites dependent on only flash technique. So this paper is designed and implemented by using ajax technique that makes confirm with eyes of client instantly and insert/delete goods very easily. Additionally, it makes pay attention to shopping and service convenience by adapting simple drag and drop method.

본 논문에서는 드래그 UI를 이용한 POS(Point of Sales) 시스템을 제안한다. 현재 시중에서 판매되는 POS들은 많은 현업자들이 불편함을 요구하고 있는 상태이다. 실제 시장조사 결과 10곳중 8곳은 기능은 많지만 사용이 어렵다고 불편함을 호소했다. 그래서 우리는 드래그 기능을 UI를 통한 가게 실제 모습을 반영할 수 있고, 주문, 메뉴선택 등 사용이 편리한 드래그UI 환경의 POS 시스템을 생각해 보았다.

터치 센서를 이용한 휴대단말용 인터페이스가 다양하게 개발되면서 차세대 인터랙션 수단으로서 많은 주목을 받고 있지만, 버튼 인터페이스에 비해 오동작에 취약하고 터치 인터페이스만의 차별성을 확보하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 터치 드래그 동작을 주요 인터랙션 수단으로 활용한 모바일 기기용 사용자 인터페이스를 개발하여 오동작을 최소화하고 사용자가 조작할 때 즐거움을 줄 수 있는 UI 요소로 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 터치 인터페이스는 기기의 내부/외부 방향의 스크롤 동작을 각각 drag-in/drag-out 동작으로 칭하고 이러한 드래그 동작을 응용 프로그램의 실행과 종료에 할당하였으며 터치 센서를 따라 움직이는 스크를 동작은 기존과 동일하게 일반적인 스크롤 행위를 지시하는데 적용하였다. 제안한 인터랙션 방법은 터치 센서의 형태에 따라 크게 두 가지 방식으로 구현하였다. 첫 번째 방법은 기기 스크린 외곽에 터치 센서를 이열(二列) 배치하여, 터치스크린을 사용하지 않고도 스크린 주변의 터치 센서를 활용한 drag-in/out 동작의 감지가 가능하도록 하였다. 두 번째 구현 방법은 정전용량형 터치 센서 IC를 활용해 터치 스크린 기능과 함께 스크린 주변의 기기 케이스의 일부까지도 사용자의 접촉을 감지할 수 있도록 하였다. 기존 저항 방식 터치 스크린과 달리 본 논문에서 활용한 방식은 스크린과 케이스에서 동시에 터치를 감지할 수 있으며, 다접점 감지 알고리즘의 개발로 두 개의 손가락을 이용한 다양한 터치 인터랙션으로 활용할 수 있다.

This study proposes a text interface for support of language-based educational contents in a mobile platform environment. The proposed interface utilizes deep learning as an input structure to write words through handwriting. Based on GUI (Graphical User Interface) using buttons and menus of mobile platform contents and input methods such as screen touch, click, and drag, we design a text interface that can directly input and process handwriting from the user. It uses the EMNIST (Extended Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database) dataset and a trained CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) to classify and combine alphabetic texts to complete words. Finally, we conduct experiments to analyze the learning support effect of the interface proposed by directly producing English word education contents and to compare satisfaction. We compared the ability to learn English words presented by users who have experienced the existing keypad-type interface and the proposed handwriting-based text interface in the same educational environment, and we analyzed the overall satisfaction in the process of writing words by manipulating the interface.

Existing usability testing method, particularly lab-based usability testing, has been widely implemented for development of user interface. However, the method has critical disadvantages such as high cost, time and effort, unnatural testing environment, and lack of user's direct participation in information architecture. With these backgrounds, this paper aims to develop the web-based participatory tool with particular focus on card sorting. Our tool was developed for allowing user to participate in card sorting with his own computer through web. All the data generated while user is participating in the test are automatically sent to the server, which makes it very easy to collect card sorting data. Users can drag cards of interface elements directly and build the interface structure in their own from their computer-screen so that they can represent their mental models on interface structure of testing website. These functions of our tool can help designers to implement card sorting without tedious and time consuming procedures and improve the method of usability testing by reinforcing user's active participation in building an information architecture.

본 논문에서는 휴대용, 착용형 정보기기를 사용하는 이동컴퓨팅 (Mobile Computing) 환경에서 편리하게 정보를 교환하기 위한 새로운 사용자 인터페이스를 제안한다. 제안하는 사용자 인터페이스는 기존의 Drag and Drop 인터페이스를 확장한 것으로 한 시스템 내에서의 객체 전달에서 벗어나 시스템간 객체 단위의 정보 전달 기능을 제공한다. 사용자들은 내부 네트워크 작업 및 시스템 작업을 고려하지 않고 단순히 한 시스템에서 펜으로 전송할 객체를 선택하고 다른 시스템에 펜을 갖다 놓으면 객체가 전송된다. 이러한 개념을 바탕으로 Ad-hoc 네트워크 환경에서 이동 정보기기간 객체 전달을 위한 사용자 인터페이스 방식과 지원하는 시스템 구조를 설계한다.

In this paper, a small, lightweight smartphone-controlled riding robot is developed. Also, in this study, a smartphone with a jog shuttle mode for consideration of user convenience is proposed to make a small, lightweight riding robot. As well, a compass sensor is used to compensate for the mechanical characteristics of motors mounted on the riding robot. The riding robot is controlled by the interface of a drag-based jog shuttle in the smartphone, instead of a mechanical controller. For a personal riding robot, if the smartphone is used as a controller instead of a handle or a pole, it reduces its size, weight, and cost to a great extent. Thus, the riding robot can be used in indoor spaces such as offices for moving or a train or bus station and an airport for scouting, or hospital for disabilities. Experimental results show that the riding robot is easily and conveniently controlled by the proposed smartphone interface based on Android.
