A Physical Selection Paradigm for Ubiquitous Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
More natural communication with ubiquitous digital devices requires new ways of interaction between humans and computers. Although the desktop metaphor and the windows, icons, menu, and pointing device (WIMP) paradigm work well in the office computer, different means of interaction might be more suitable for mobile terminals and their communication with ambient devices, objects and services. We present three cases where physical selection may prove advantageous over more traditional ways of interaction. Also, we suggest different ways of realising physical selection and compare their characteristics. Finally, we give an example of physical selection in the case of activating and reading a temperature sensor wirelessly. In the future, we shall investigate the possibility of implementing the physical selection paradigm with mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants.

Physical Browsing Research
Physical browsing is a mobile-device-based interaction method for pervasive computing. In this paper, we describe our research interests and experiences of physical browsing: the user interaction paradigm, scenarios using physical selection and a demonstration application. We also describe a number of research challenges within the field.
متن کاملA novel vedic divider based crypto-hardware for nanocomputing paradigm: An extended perspective
Restoring and non-restoring divider has become widely applicability in the era of digital computing application due to its computation speed. In this paper, we have proposed the design of divider of different architecture for the computation of Vedic sutra based. The design of divider in the Vedic mode results in high computation throughput due to its replica architecture, where latency is mini...

متن کاملEnforcing Composability for Ubiquitous Computing Systems
Ubiquitous computing provides a paradigm shift in computing systems to an environment with a potentially large number of typically small networked components. At the same time they tend to disappear from the view of the user by providing user interfaces through the physical world. But this new paradigm also requires adapted design and engineering methods to guarantee a certain quality of servic...
متن کاملEntry Points into a Smart Campus Environment - Overview of the ETHOC System
The university campus is an interesting application environment for the ubiquitous computing paradigm: a large number of users share a substantial amount of their information needs and much of this information is directly related to physical objects, places, and people that are situated in the campus environment. We motivate the need for material entry points into a virtual campus that increase...
