Fall 2002CS/PSY 67502 Personal Digital Asst. (PDA) Palm VII HP Jornada Handspring Visor Palm IIIc Apple Newton (1993)
3
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67503 PDAs Becoming more common and widely used Smaller display (160x160), (320x240) Few buttons, interact through pen Estimate: 14 million shipped by 2004 Improvements Wireless, color, more memory, better CPU, better OS Palmtop versus Handheld
4
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67504 No Shredder…
5
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67505 Input Pen is dominant form Three main techniques Free-form ink Soft keyboards (tapping) Recognition systems Also can connect keyboard
6
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67506 Free-form Ink Ink is the data, take as is Human is responsible for understanding and interpretation Like a sketch pad Example Digital Ink - CMU video, CHI ‘98 Flatland - Xerox PARC video, CHI ‘99
7
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67507 Soft Keyboards Common on PDAs and mobile devices Many varieties Tapping interface Stroking interface
8
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67508 Tapping Interface Presents a small diagram of keyboard You click on buttons/keys with pen QWERTY vs. alphabetical Tradeoffs? Alternatives?
9
Fall 2002CS/PSY 67509 Tegic Communications-T9 Tapping interface that uses phone pad You press out letters of your word, it matches the most likely word, then gives optional choices Used in mobile phones www.tegic.com/t9
10
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675010 Cirrin Developed by Jen Mankoff (GT->Cal) Word-level unistroke technique
11
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675011 Recognition Systems Recognizing letters and numbers Special symbols Handwriting Recognition Lots of systems (commercial too) English, kanji, etc. Not perfect, but people aren’t either! People - 96% handprinted single characters Computer - >97% is really good OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
12
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675012 Recognition Issues Off-line vs. On-line Off-line: After all writing is done, speed not an issue, only quality On-line: Must respond in real-time Bitmapped vs. Vectorized Bitmapped: Usually off-line, like OCR Vectorized: On-line, uses angle, direction, speed, pressure, acceleration, etc.
13
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675013 More Issues Boxed vs. Free-Form input Sometimes encounter boxes on forms Printed vs. Cursive Cursive is much more difficult Letters vs. Words Cursive is easier to do words Using context & words can help Usually requires existence of a dictionary Check to see if word exists Consider 1/I/l Training - Many systems improve a lot with training data
14
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675014 Special Alphabets Graffiti - Unistroke alphabet on Palm PDA Experience? Other alphabets or purposes Gestures for commands
15
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675015 Pen Gesture Commands - Might mean delete Define a series of (hopefully) simple drawing gestures that mean different commands in a system
16
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675016 Pen Use Modes Often, want a mix of free-form drawing and special commands Might use visible mode switch Might have pen action buttons/switches
17
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675017 Error Correction Having to correct errors can slow input tremendously Strategies Erase and try again n-best list ...
18
Fall 2002CS/PSY 675018 Interesting Applications Signature verification Note-taking Academic course Corporate meeting Sketching systems Designers’ aids Example Silk - J. Landay, CMU Video, CHI ‘96
