3. Problem Statement Mobile texting is slow Guinness world record:192 wpm vs 29 wpm

4. Problem Statement Cont… mini EV-K130 Xun Chi 138 F88 wrist watch Mobile Phone Miniaturisation of Mobile Device Faceplate Problem in fitting all the buttons

5. Objective of Project Design a New Interface and predictive Algorithm For improved text entry speed To cater for miniaturised devices To use a scroll wheel

6. Why choose a scroll wheel Saves Space To use agility of the thumb More feasible alternative to: Voice input Stylus based input Virtual Keyboards

7. Approach to Project

8. Literature Survey Voice Input

9. Developing The Interfaces Nokia 5300Nokia 7380 New Interface

10. Design and Implementation 5 Interfaces developed in flash T9 (Nokia 5300) Multi-Tap (Nokia 5300) scroll Wheel Non-Predictive (Nokia 7380) Scroll Wheel Predictive (Nokia 7380) Scroll Wheel Enhanced Prediction (New Algorithm)

11. Why Use Simulator No current phones with hardware capability To standardise experiment

12. User Testing To test interfaces in terms of : Text entry accuracy Text entry speed

13. Set-up Laptop Computer Connection Cables Mouse Speaker LCD Monitor

14. Procedure 10 users recruited 5 Interfaces tested 5 phrases per interface

18. Results Cont

19. Interpretations Speed Scroll wheel interfaces generally slower T9 gave the fastest text entry speed New Interface gave a 50% speed up compared to Nokia 7300 predictive algorithm New Interface gave a 300 % speed up compared to Nokia 7300 non-predictive algorithm

20. Interpretations Accuracy Scroll wheel interfaces generally more error prone T9 gave lowest error rate New Interface is slightly more error prone compared to Nokia 7300 predictive algorithm Nokia 7300 non-predictive was more difficult to use hence it had more errors.

21. Future Work Use a real hardware device Implement Contextual prediction Use a pressure sensing touch-pad to implement scrolling
