Engineering basics for computer interaction
many of today’s wireless devices use programmable microcontroller and
digital-signal-processor cores combined with embedded memories and
numerous peripheral modules all on a single chip
microcontrollers are a specific type of microprocessor that have more I/O ports
and interrupts than a general CPU as well as on-chip random-access memory
(RAM) and read-only memory (ROM)
external Flash and Burst Flash memories are also used
future gadgets will be made to 0.1 µm designs, have more than 200 million
transistors, operate at 500 MHz and work within 1V constraints
processor cores will be configurable, and re-configurable processors will
handle image, speech, data, web connectivity, mobile and in-home needs
as devices and services become more complex the demands on memory will
increase enormously

Engineering basics for computer interaction
within just the last 24 months, myriad audio, video, PDA and cellular products
have equipped people not only to carry around data, images and audio but
also to swap devices between various types of hardware
new technologies include non-volatile flash memory cards and small disk
drives
flash memory cards have no moving parts and retain data in the absence of
power
memory is key to retaining complex data on a device
it enables storage of programs, audio and video files and provides users with
more efficient data compression methods
sufficient memory also allows devices to run applications that require large
amounts of memory to implement, like as Java etc

IBM has demonstrated a GMR (Giant Magneto Resistive) head with an areal
density capability greater than 35.3 billion bits per square inch and laboratory
demonstrations up to 130 Gbits/in2 have been reported in the industry, indicating
that future disk drives could exhibit capacities at least two times higher than today

the above-mentioned multifunctional devices are based on a mobile phone
centric approach
new multimedia and mixed data services would create further opportunities for
UMTS devices to be complementary to other electronic devices
considering the high level of complexity entailed in integrated multifunctional
devices, a feasible approach is to enable traditional portable (consumer or
business user) devices to interwork with UMTS terminals implementing core
access functionality
examples would include a digital camera interworking with a UMTS terminal,
which would enable a user to transfer a digital image to the terminal for
incorporation in a multimedia message
the possible combinations are very wide ranging

many different applications are expected to be implemented in UMTS devices
for each application, corresponding additional components or elements need to
be employed
this will have some impact on the terminal design from a form factor
perspective
on the other hand, most users want to carry as small and as light a device as
possible even though new functionality or features are added
further miniaturization is one of the key issues and this requires further
miniaturization or integration of all related components on UMTS devices

Display technology
sometimes the user may be concerned more with viewing a screen than
with listening to an ear piece
the display represents the most important component in the future of
communication
perhaps users will interact through the display in many different
environmental conditions for almost all device applications
they will need to view high information content multimedia as well as the
high bandwidth video
the display is also likely to function as an input device through the use of
”soft keys”
for effective interaction between users and displays, a direct-view display
must be as large as possible within the constraints of a portable device

Engineering basics for computer interaction
no single display technology can currently satisfy all of requirements, like
resolution, contrast / brightness, illumination, colour, frame rate, interface,
bezel (non-display area), thickness, weight
the simplest displays, including for mobile applications, are passive matrix
displays
a passive matrix display is an array of pixels, each of which contains an
optical element that is sandwiched between column and row electrodes
passive addressing via the column and row electrodes puts limitations on
the achievable display resolution and levels of grey-scale that can be
programmed at each pixel

Engineering basics for computer interaction
in STN Liquid Crystal Displays, the optical element is a Super Twisted
Nematic (STN) liquid crystal that modulates (between 180 to 260 degrees
resulting in better contrast) the transmission of light through polarisers
positioned at each side of the liquid crystal cell
STN materials have a sharp transmission-voltage response and a slow
switching speed (e.g. >100ms), and as such are well suited to binary
(black or white state) passive addressing, although 3-4 bit grey-scale can
be achieved
displays of this type are particularly suitable for text and simple graphics
display, and this is sufficient for many of today’s low-bandwidth
applications, while they have a limited viewing angle
these reflective displays are very low power and are commonly illuminated
by a (near white) LED, and are very cheap to manufacture

higher performance colour STN LCDs offer desirable benefits for
multimedia applications, though the introduction of colour filters can reduce
total display brightness and increases the unit cost
transflective technology helps ensure that pixels make the most of both
ambient light and back-light sources
although not capable of matching the performance of TFT (Thin Film
Transistor) LCDs, the best CSTNs of today can achieve 65,000 colors for
still images and 15 frames per second video at intermediate resolutions
one of the more interesting technological developments is the move to
plastic substrates; plastic STN LCDs offer lighter weight, greater impact
resistance and the option to have custom (e.g. non-rectangular) display
shapes

these transistors do not generate light
or color, an often-made mistake
this is where the liquid crystals (LC)
and their alignment come into play
the transistors control the orientation
of the LC, thus allowing them (LC) to
pass (or not pass) light from the
backlight

by having the electrodes on the same glass substrate, they allow the crystals
to remain horizontal to the glass substrates in both the on and off states
such design improves the viewing angle by passing the light through the
crystals at their most efficient orientation – a horizontal orientation – thus
dispersing the light more efficiently

Engineering basics for computer interaction
organic electroluminescent (OEL) materials emit light in proportion to the
current flowing through them, and have the advantages of high brightness
and of being very thin
higher performance displays are composed of active matrix pixels
each pixel typically includes an optical element and switch
the switch is an active component such as a TFT (thin-film transistor) or a
TFD (thin-film diode), and is addressed by column (data) and row (scan)
lines
TFTs are normally fabricated from a thin-film of amorphous Silicon (a:Si);
though complete construction of the TFT requires the deposition of several
additional layers, including the addressing lines, today, this can be
achieved with a minimum of five photolithographic masks, which keeps the
cost of active matrix displays competitive

four of the most common active matrix display cross-sections
to maximize the use of ambient light, a single polariser can be used; microreflective structures and careful choice of colour filters can increase
brightness at the expense of contrast ratio and of viewing angle

Engineering basics for computer interaction
although more expensive to manufacture than passive displays, the active
matrix pixel switch permits a larger total number of pixels in the display,
higher resolution, higher contrast and accurate grey-scale pixel
programming
in transmissive TFT LCDs, the optical element is usually a Twisted
Nematic liquid crystal that modulates the transmission of light supplied by
a back-light through orthogonal polarisers positioned at each side of the
liquid crystal cell Twisted Nematic materials have a shallow transmissionvoltage response and a fast switching speed (e.g. 25ms), and can
therefore achieve 8-bit or higher RGB grey-levels (16 million colours) at 60
Hz updates (i.e. “true colour“ video)
high performance active OEL displays based on poly-silicon TFTs are
being considered since more than one of them can be implemented at
each pixel to implement a small current-mode driver circuit
this “pixel circuit“ is very power efficient and can minimize luminance nonuniformity across the display

Input devices
Engineering basics for computer interaction
usability is a key issue affecting both the implementation of applications
and device design
unification of input methods is an important factor in realizing “easy to use”
user interfaces, but unification of new features could bring complexity to
users to understand which input device is doing which function and/or
feature
some UMTS devices will have similar input methods and components like
current mobile units (keypad and pointing device), others may employ
touch screens and voice recognition
devices should not only support the display of character encodings and
character sets in supporting internationalized content in local languages,
they must also allow for the input of text in those local languages
the support of character encodings that work across multiple languages,
such as Unicode and UTF-8, as well as the most popular encoding types
in use on the Internet today is vital to the widespread availability of
localized and internationalized content and services

Keyboards and keypads
a basic requirement for a mobile unit input device is to
employ at least ten keys for activating the phone and the line
and for inputting telephone numbers
for this basic feature, most current mobile phones employ
between 14 and 17 keys, normally realized using carbon
printed or gold flashed substrate combined with a carbon
printed rubber sheet, poly-dome sheet or metal contact sheet
reliability is becoming an increasingly important factor as
mobile phones change from voice-oriented to games-oriented
usage
for i-mode phones in Japan, the minimum life cycle for the key
panel has to guarantee at least one million contact cycles
small form factors as well as the use of hands free kit result in
phones being carried in users’ pockets for much of the time;
sensitivity to moisture from the human body becomes an issue

the snap ratio (or click ratio) of any conductive rubber keypad directly affects the
tactile feel realized by the operator
keypads with snap ratios of 40- 60% have excellent tactile feel and relatively long
life, while keypads with snap ratios below 30% have relatively weak tactile feel, but
longer life
dual-durometer keypads also improve tactile feel
the snap ratio of any keypad can be calculated by working with the formula F1-F2
divided by F1, where F1 is the actuation force and F2 is the contact force

it is very difficult to recommend specific guidelines for creating best tactile feel
however, if actuation force and stroke are identified for a given application, it is
possible to design a keypad's switch membranes precisely to realize the identified
parameters
a very general guideline that can be followed for developing good tactile feel is to
specify higher actuation forces for keypads with large keys than those with small keys
this rule also applies to key heights: tall keys require higher actuation forces than short
keys

another typical guideline for actuation force is to specify a minimum
actuation force of 80 - 100 grams for keys with heights of 10 - 15mm and a
minimum actuation force of 150 - 175 grams for keys with heights of 15 25mm
care should be taken when designing tactile feel so a minimum return
force of 30 grams is realized
this minimum return force will help greatly to eliminate the potential
problem of sticking keys, as will proper bezel design [11]
even though it is possible to use ten keys for writing emails or inputting
characters, this would not be acceptable to users
other solutions have to be considered
today, several sub-systems and technologies are already available to
support these requirements; some have already been used in market
products

in terms of keypad features, lessons should be drawn from past industry
oversights concerning different digits and alphanumeric layouts on device
keypads
with the trend towards even more innovative device features and designs
that go beyond conventional keypads - often incorporating icons,

the Gesture Wall [36-38] injected a 50100 kHz signal into the body of the user
through an electrode on the floor; the strengths of this signal, as capacitively
received at electrodes placed in the four corners of the display, were used to
track the position of a hand as it moved around the display surface
although this system was very sensitive to gesture, it required fairly stiff postural
constraints on the part of the user - one hand forward and body back, since the
entire body radiates the transmit signal, not just the hand to be tracked

to read the joysticks (or your slide potentiometer positions), you must first write
a byte to port 201h, this triggers the 558 timer on the game adapter
it doesn't matter what value you send, as long as you perform an I/O write
Game port 201h byte: | 7
| 6
|
5 | 4
|
3 | 2 | 1
| 0
|
| but4 | but3 | but2 | but1 | stk4 | stk3 | stk2 | stk1 |
the most machine-independent way to sample the game port is to use a timer
NOTE the time just before you trigger the 558
(e.g., read the countdown register in Timer 0, you need pretty fine resolution
and this timer performs 65535 counts every 55 ms)
after triggering, sit in a loop reading port 201h and examining bits 0-3
for those bits that have a joystick potentiometer attached, you'll see them sit for
a while at 0, then become 1
as each bit flips back to 1, note the time again
when all bit 0-3 have flipped back to 1, you're almost done
compute elapsed time for each bit, and you end up with a value that is
proportional to potentiometer position

potentiometers are normally 0-150k variable resistors, and according to the IBM
techref, the time is given by Time = 24.2e-6s + 0.011e-6s * R/Ohms
this equation does not accurately represent the real situation, where there are
differences in absolute components values
in reality you have to calibrate the joystick for the application you use
the most straightforward way to calibrate the stick for the program is to record
the values the joystick gives in extreme positions and in the center position
buttons can be read at any time just by reading port 201h and looking at bits 4-7
No triggering is required
button bits are normally 1; while a button is depressed, its bit will flip to 0

in normal printing STROBE is high
all outputs on the Data Port are true logic; that is, writing a logic one to a bit
causes the corresponding output to go high
however, the /SELECT_IN, /AUTOFEED and /STROBE outputs on the Control
Port have inverted logic; that is, outputting a logic one to a bit causes a logic
zero on the corresponding output
this adds some complexity in using the printer port, but the fix is to simply
invert those bits using the exclusive OR function prior to outputting
why the designers of the printer port used inverted logic?
assume you have a printer with no cable attached
an open usually is read as a logic one; thus, if a logic one on the SELECT_IN,
AUTOFEED and STROBE leads meant to take the appropriate action, an
unconnected printer would assume it was selected, go into the autofeed mode
and assume there was data on the outputs associated with the Data Port
the printer would be going crazy when in fact it wasn't even connected [46]

Serial RS232 Port
what are the advantages of using serial data transfer rather than parallel?
the serial port transmits a '1' as -3 to -25 volts and a '0' as +3 to +25 volts
where as a parallel port transmits a '0' as 0v and a '1' as 5v
therefore the serial port can have a maximum swing of 50V compared to
the parallel port which has a maximum swing of 5 Volts
therefore cable loss is not going to be as much of a problem for serial
cables than they are for parallel
if the device needs to be mounted a far distance away from the computer
then 3 core cable (Null Modem Configuration) is going to be a lot cheaper
that running 19 or 25 core cable

USB Port or Universal Serial Bus [50]
the original motivation for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) came from three
interrelated considerations:
connection of the PC to the telephone
the USB provides a ubiquitous link that can be used across a wide range
of PC-to-telephone interconnects
ease-of-use
the PC’s I/O interfaces, such as serial/parallel ports, keyboard /mouse
/joystick interfaces, etc., do not have the attributes of plug-and-play
port expansion
the lack of a bi-directional, low-cost, low-to-mid speed peripheral bus has
held back the creative proliferation of peripherals such as
telephone/fax/modem adapters, answering machines, scanners, PDA’s,
keyboards, mice, etc.
existing interconnects are optimized for one or two point products
as each new function or capability is added to the PC, a new interface has
been defined to address this need
TAUCHI MMIG
G. Evreinov
p 86_97

Engineering basics for computer interaction
the more recent motivation for USB 2.0 stems from the fact that PCs have
increasingly higher performance and are capable of processing vast
amounts of data
at the same time, PC peripherals have added more performance and
functionality
user applications such as digital imaging demand a high performance
connection between the PC and these increasingly sophisticated
peripherals
USB 2.0 addresses this need by adding a third transfer rate of 480 Mb/s to
the 12 Mb/s and 1.5 Mb/s originally defined for USB
USB is a fast, bi-directional, isochronous, low-cost, dynamically attachable
serial interface that is consistent with the requirements of the PC platform
of today and tomorrow

the USB is a cable bus that supports data exchange between a host
computer and a wide range of simultaneously accessible peripherals
the attached peripherals share USB bandwidth through a host-scheduled,
token-based protocol
the bus allows peripherals to be attached, configured, used, and detached
while the host and other peripherals are in operation
the USB transfers signal and power over a four-wire cable
the signaling occurs over two wires on each point-to-point segment

Engineering basics for computer interaction
USB data transfers take place between host software and a particular endpoint
on a USB device, such associations are called pipes
data movement though one pipe is independent from the data flow in any other
pipe, a given USB device may have many pipes; while one supports
transporting data to the USB device, another supports transporting data from
the USB device
the USB architecture comprehends four basic types of data transfers:
Control Transfers: used to configure a device at attach time and can be used for
other device-specific purposes, including control of other pipes on the device
Bulk Data Transfers: generated or consumed in relatively large and bursty
quantities and have wide dynamic latitude in transmission constraints
Interrupt Data Transfers: used for timely but reliable delivery of data, for
example, characters or coordinates with human-perceptible echo or feedback
response characteristics
Isochronous Data Transfers: occupy a prenegotiated amount of USB bandwidth
with a prenegotiated delivery latency (also called streaming real time transfers)

hubs can detect attach and detach at each downstream port and enable
the distribution of power to downstream devices; each downstream port
can be individually enabled and attached to either high-, full- or low-speed
devices
a USB 2.0 hub consists of three portions:
the Hub Controller, the Hub Repeater, and the Transaction Translator
the Hub Repeater is a protocol-controlled switch between the upstream
port and downstream ports, has reset and suspend/resume signaling
the Host Controller provides the communication to/from the host; hubspecific status and control commands permit the host to configure a hub
and to monitor and control its ports
the Transaction Translator provides the support of full-/low-speed
devices behind the hub, while transmitting all device data between the host
and the hub at high-speed

Data Encoding/Decoding
the USB employs NRZI* data encoding when transmitting packets
in NRZI encoding, a “1” is represented by no change in level and a “0” is
represented by a change in level
the high level represents the J state on the data lines
a string of zeros causes the NRZI data to toggle each bit time
a string of ones causes long periods with no transitions in the data
J
a data stream and the NRZI Data Encoding
Non Return to Zero Invert (NRZI) - a method of encoding serial data in
which ones and zeroes are represented by opposite and alternating high
and low voltages where there is no return to zero (reference) voltage
between encoded bits, eliminates the need for clock pulses
