22、and control of public network based telecommunications services, and in particular supplementary services. This part 3 of the ETR describes the experimental comparison of two MMls, a phase 1 UPI simulation and an ISDN supplementary service prototype. The experiment compared user performance and pref

23、erences within the basic user procedures provided to access both services. The experiment allowed a tentative comparison between an example of a PBI+ (12 keys, tones and voice announcements) and an example of a PBI+ (12 keys, tones, voice announcements and visual messages) interface. 2 References Fo

31、 will soon be offered on the existing and new networks. The user interface used to access the old plain telephone service was for many decades the telephone set equipped with a rotary dial or a keypad. Whilst the number and complexity of the new services increases (in fact some services are interact

32、ive and require post-dialling data entry), the user interface available to the general public has not substantially changed. Consequently, the access to the services entails entering information in coded form, which creates problems to the users in terms of time spent, errors made and reduced satisf

33、action. Anyway, beside the traditional Phone Based Interfaces (or PBls), new ones are being developed and start to be offered to the users. In this ETR the attention will be focused on the minimum PBls, which use a numeric keypad as an input device. The output, .e. the feedback indications, can cons

34、ist of telephone tones or a combination of tones, announcements and visual messages as explained in the following: PBI: PBI+: 12-button numeric keypad, tones, announcements and text (on visual display). 12-button numeric keypad and tones. - PBI+: 12-button numeric keypad, tones and announcements. -

35、Beside the user interface, other variables are likely to affect the user performance when accessing the services through the PBls: the presentation of the services to the user, the user procedures, the prompting and feedback messages, the output mode (auditory, visual, both) and so forth. 4.2 The Ap

36、proach To gain a better knowledge on these aspects, identify possible problems and suggest solutions, it was decided to perform an objective experiment. Since it was impractical to take into account all the aforementioned variables, the approach was to rely OR the literature, when available 469, and

37、 to integrate this information with first hand experimental data by comparing two different networks, .e. UPT and ISDN. The first phase of UPT was considered because it was the only one consolidated by ETSI STC NA7 at the time of testing. However, the access codes, lack of available standards, were

38、decided on a national basis. As to ISDN, the Italian Pilot was considered. This is not the standard European ISDN, but was the only ISDN available to the user. Given the status of the implementation of these two networks, it was not possible to create similar testing conditions to ease the compariso

39、n task. For example, code schemes, user interfaces and user procedures are defined already for ISDN and are in a preliminary definition phase for UPT. An attempt was made to provide the user instructions in a similar (.e. minimal) way in both networks, taking into account the principle that PBls sho

40、uld be as far as possible self-explanatory, since they are spread all over the world and users are reluctant to read manuals. 4.3 The Target The experimental results were, where possible, extrapolated to derive general guidelines and achieve better usability through: - improvement of the user interf

41、ace and user-to-service interaction; harmonization of the minimum PBI across the networks and the services.

42、esults and conclusions for the two experiments carried out on the UPT and the ISDN services are reported separately.

43、inition phase and available only on emulators. In the experiment the phase 1 services have been used. The operations that users can perform are: - In-call Registration; - In-call Deregistration; - Single Out-call. The relevant codes have been defined provisionally and unilaterally by the Italian net

44、work operator. They are listed below (table 2): Table 2: UPT codes The messages (prompts, feedback, status information, etc.) for these services are not decided yet. The version used in the experiment has been defined for this particular circumstance as to wording, number of repetitions, interruptab

45、ility, error recovery strategy, etc. 5.2 The UPT user interface In the emulation test bed, the aforementioned UPT services are accessed through a telephone set (PBI+) connected to a Sun Sparcstation computer with speech output emulating the service. The telephone set consists of a 12-pushbutton keyp

46、ad (the O to 9 digits and *, #). 5.3 The user-to-system interaction (user actions and system reactions) for Registration, Deregistration and OutCaIl is described in annex A. User-to-system interaction in the UPT services ETSI ETRa2hL-3 96 3400855 OL4L720 4T2 Page 10 ETR 261-3: October 1996 5.4 Task

47、analysis for the UPT services The following tasks and subtasks have been identified: 5.4.1 Tasks - To register; - To de-register 5.4.2 Subtasks for the UPT services - - - - - To go on-hook. To retrieve the codes of the service; To enter the codes of the service; To perceive the acoustic indications;

48、 To understand the acoustic indications (prompts, feedback); - TO go Off-hook; 5.5 Scenarios for UPT The following three scenarios were made up: - To register for InCalls; - To de-register for InCalls; - To register for OutCalls. Each scenario was presented to the users together with name and descri

49、ption of the service and the relevant instructions (annex 8). 5.6 Test design for UPT To evaluate the user performance and satisfaction when using the UPT services listed above, the following experiment was designed. The test subjects were assigned three tasks covering the available services. The order of presentation of the tasks was balanced across subjects to compensate for the learning effect. One hour was allocated for each subject to read the instructions, carry out the tasks and answer the questionnaire and the intervi
