Innovative TUIas a mean for interacting telecommunications services Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
Interaction bandwidth • Network bandwidth is ever greater, but the interaction bandwidth is standing still • Keyboard • Keypad • Button • Touchscreen • Complex menu structures
Challenge • How to extend interaction bandwidth? • In order to help people who have difficulties with the usage of communication devices • People with special needs (e.g. elderlies) Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
Real world objects • In the real world we are surrounded by various objects • Practical value • Informational value • Emotional value Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
We can change what we can touch • Connect real world objects to existing telecommunications systems • Physical <–> digital mapping • New edge UI • Objects manipulation Legacy telecommunications systems Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
Concept • Build physical “phonebook” • Move contacts from digital phonebook to the physical board • strings -> photos (emotional value) • Add NFC tag to each photo/image • Use NFC probe to trigger communication event Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
Client side application on the NFC probe NFC mobile phone Server side communication logic composition Web service NGN gateway at the north side of the operator’s network Parlay X <-> CSTA Solution architecture Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
NGN gateway • Gateway enables developers to access call control functions via WS • “Keep it simple, stupid” • SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) - North • XML Over HTTP • Parlay X • ICT protocols – South • CSTA, INAP Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
NGN Gateway implementation • Third Party Call, Audio Call • Call triggering (user2user, user2vxml) • Call Notification, Call Direction, Call Handling • Call notification, call redirection, call forwardings • SMS, MMS • Sending and receiving Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
Receiving Touch events tag_value Communicates with NGN Gateway Via Parlay X web services Keeps user’s communication state Current call status IN_A_CALL, NOT_IN_A_CALL, RINGING SMS composition logic Compose SMS Send to various recipients SS Communication Logic Composition NFCEvent(String tag_value) CNChanged(String calling_party) SOAP SOAP (ParlayX) Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
NFC probe • In our demo as a NFC enabled mobile phone • Acts as a “remote controller” • NFC application • Reads and sends (via WS) tag values to the server logic • Writes to tag • Notifies action completion to the user (sound & vibration notifications) • Industrial implementation • NFC Probe inside the handset • http://www.obelisk.si/phone Pune, India, 13 – 15 Dec 2010: ITU-T Kaleidoscope 2010
