The advancement of touch user interface technology is mostly due to the debut and success of the new user experience (UX), the iPhone. The introduction of Apple's iPhone especially made possible for the user experience to break away from the traditional input device of the mouse and keyboard. It is advancing from the current 3rd generation touch interface technology into the 4th generation non-touch user interface technology. This paper will present a non-touch interaction technology that allows interaction in a three dimensional setting through 3-D space touch. It will analyze current technologies and future emerging technologies.

Currently mobile phones possess the new features including the control interface provided with an ease, an intuition, and a variety and the display ensured for wide area. Mobile phones mounted with the touch screen release actively due to such strengths. This is the mega trend of the development of the latest mobile game. Mobile games set to the past keypad input system have changed for adaptation in the input environment and the progressive development. Consequently it is necessary to research for 'Touch User Interface(TUI)' of mobile games fixed into input environment by "Touch screen". This study have concreted the application method of touch game through the comparison analysis with the past game and implemented touch mobile game based on usability for ten touch mobile game titles released from the inside and outside of the country in oder to apply the touch interface fixed in the game to the hand-hold device with the function of touch interface. The result of this study have two implications. First it enhances the playability and diversity of game genre restricted by reason of the limitation of the past keypad input device. Second, it utilizes the basis for the standard of the interface of the touch mobile game by genre.

As touch-screen mobile phones pour into the market, demands for reusing existing mobile game contents by adding a touch-screen interface are increasing. But, the contents which are developed in existing does not have touch-screen interface and in order not to be automatic is difficult with touch- screen contents to convert. From the present paper uses keyboard interface information about the mobile game contents which does not have touch-screen interface and creates touch-screen interface with automatic the method which proposes. This method analyzes the type of key events which are used from the contents the screen keyboard layout of optimum and construct. And, key event where is confronted with automatic occurs about touch screen event and creates the screen interface which executes the keyboard event handler. In the end, experiment leads and the screen interface which has become optimum anger to the contents creating, confirms.

Recently, touch screen systems with direct touch interfaces are prevailing in digital products such as MP3's, DMB's, PDA's and navigators, which give rise to new interface issues related to speed, feedback and accuracy, and consider additional considerations for solving those issues in evaluation processes. Although paper prototyping method, the one of applicable methods, is efficient ways to evaluate the touch interface, it still requires a certain amount of adaptations for touch interfaces. This study aims to identify emerged issues regarding to paper-prototyping method for the evaluation of touch interface, to come up with alternatives for applying the method. The study started with analyzing the touch interface in digital products, and suggests the 'Touch Wheel' interface based on mainly used interface. 'Touch Wheel' interface allows the user searching for her/his favorite songs by rolling 'wheel-like' menu list. The Userbility test was conducted by 24 MP3 users with 4 times, and based on such conditions as materials, making methods and evaluating process of paper prototyping for evaluating the touch interface, effective alternatives were considered in each evaluation steps. As a result, paper prototypes for evaluating the touch interface should give active operations to subjects by offering direct experience, so as to provide subjects with proper feedbacks and for designers to collect effective alternatives for expected problems in initial interface design process.

Objective: This study is concerned with the user interface (UI) design of touch screen based on the reaction time of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) user. Background: Adopting the touch screen technology, the ATM service has recently established a new user interface different from the existing button-type interface. Method: Experiments were conducted by simulating ATM touch screen layouts, and layouts were focused on location of menu buttons (left and right, top and bottom), number of menu buttons (8 and 12 buttons). Results: The results show that there are significant differences in correction ratio and reaction time by user groups, types of menu location, and the number of buttons. Conclusion and Applications: The results of this study can be used to provide baseline information for the interface design of ATM touch screen and the age differences in reaction time.

Most emerging smart phones support capacitive touch sensors. It renders existing gesture-based interfaces not suitable since they were developed for the resistive touch sensors and pen-based input. Unlike the flick gestures from the existing gesture interfaces, the finger flick gesture used in this paper reduces the workload about half by selecting the target and the command to perform on the target at a single touch input. With the combination with multi-touch interface, it supports various menu commands without having to learn complex gestures, and is suitable for the touch-based devices hence it minimizes input error. This research designs and implements the multi-touch and flick interface to provide an effective file management system on the smart phones with capacitive touch input. The evaluation proves that the suggested interface is superior to the existing methods on the capacitive touch input devices.

The appearance of 3D-Touch interface provided the basis of a new interaction method between the users and the mob ile interface. However, only a few smartphones provide 3D-Touch features, and most of the 2D-Touch devices does not provide any means of applying the 3D-Touch interactions. This results in different user experiences between the two interaction methods. Thus, this research proposes the Virtual Force Touch method, which allows the users to utilize the 3D-Touch Interface on 2D-Touch based smart devices. This paper propose the suitable virtual force touch mechanism that is possible to realize users' inputs by calculating and analysis the force touch area of users' finger. This proposal is designed on customized smartphone device which has 2D-Touch sensors.

This paper proposes a novel touch interface for recognizing user's touch pattern and understanding emotional information by eliciting natural user interaction. To classify physical touches, we represent the similarity between touches by analyzing touches based on its dictionary meaning and design the algorithm to recognize various touch patterns in real time. Finally we suggest the methodology to estimate user's emotional state based on touch.

In this paper, we present the Touch Text exTractor (Touch TT), an interactive text segmentation tool for the extraction of scene text from camera-based images. Touch TT provides a natural interface for a user to simply indicate the location of text regions with a simple touchline. Touch TT then automatically estimates the text color and roughly locates the text regions. By inferring text characteristics from the estimated text color and text region, Touch TT can extract text components. Touch TT can also handle partially drawn lines which cover only a small section of text area. The proposed system achieves reasonable accuracy for text extraction from moderately difficult examples from the ICDAR 2003 database and our own database.

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.
