A Comparative Study of Unimodal and Multimodal Interactions for Digital TV Remote Control Mobile Application among Elderly

A research was conducted to study user interactions design for the TV remote control applications that are preferable among the elderly. Now-a-days smart home concept is widely accepted around the globe. Many applications were developed based on smart home concepts, such as smart remote-control applications for TVs and air conditioners. These applications were helpful in our daily life. However, the elderly tends not to use these applications because of the complexity of the processes and interaction design that is unfriendly. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine which interaction design is preferable for the elderly, enhancing the elderly experience in using the TV remote control application besides encouraging them to use one in daily life and keep up with new technologies. In this paper, the two types of new interaction designs – a touch-based only (unimodal) interaction and multimodal interaction prototypes and an existing TV Remote Control application were compared by conducting usability testing of these three applications on the elderly. Three parameters were considered to compare these three interaction designs: task completion time, error rate, and satisfaction. Also, using usability testing’s data collection, statistical analysis was conducted to find out which type of interaction is preferable by the elderly. Ten elderlies participated in the usability testing carried out. The results show a significant difference in these three interactions designs regarding task completion time and satisfaction, but not error rate. After considering usability testing and analyses conducted, the elderly prefers a unimodal interaction design in the TV Remote Control application. Nevertheless, the unimodal interaction was not the typical “tapping buttons” user interface in existing applications. Instead, the favourable interaction design was the one that involved swiping gestures to replace several features that were implemented using buttons on existing TV remote control applications.

МЕТОДИ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЕНЕРГОЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ТА ЕНЕРГОЗБЕРЕЖЕННЯ В СИСТЕМІ РОЗУМНОГО БУДИНКУ

Today, the efficient use of energy resources is one of the most important tasks. The fastest growing sector of energy consumption in the world is electricity, which is projected to grow by 56% by 2035, and in developed countries almost all the growth is due to the generation and consumption of electricity and heat. Further growth of energy consumption by the population is also expected. At the same time, almost a third of the total energy consumption is made up of certain losses, ie energy is consumed for other purposes. Against the background of global growth in energy consumption, the rate of further accumulation of CO2 emissions will increase. That is why the European Union, United Nations bodies, international financial organizations and the International Energy Agency give priority to energy efficiency issues. To this end, a set of mechanisms and practical tools for economic stimulation of measures to implement modern energy-saving technologies is used at the international level. Smart home is a system for managing the basic life support processes of both small systems (commercial, office premises, apartments, cottages) and large automated complexes (commercial and industrial complexes). One of the important tasks to be solved by the concept of a modern smart home is the problem of energy efficiency and energy saving. Effective control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, more efficient use of traditional appliances and the introduction of energy-efficient equipment in the building are important to ensure productive, healthy and safe work and life of residents, play an important role in preventing energy loss and reduce impact on the environment. In addition, improving the efficiency of energy management is the only approach to ensuring the energy efficiency and energy saving of many existing buildings that cannot be upgraded according to the requirements of modern construction technologies. The paper presents an overview of modern methods and technologies aimed at ensuring energy efficiency and energy saving in the smart home system.

Analisis dan Pengukuran Tanggapan Frekuensi terhadap Redaman Serat Optik

The concept of smart home and cyber home is not the same, even much different. If a smart home or smart home is more aimed at users or home users who lead to conventional homes equipped with digital devices, the concept of cyber home is more to the bandwidth capacity of the internet to complement digital devices in the home. For this reason, Cyber Park Indonesia cooperates with PT Wika Realty. Specifically to develop the housing as a cyber home, Cyber Park Indonesia uses optical fiber. [Kompas, 2017]. This fact states that communication using optical fiber becomes very important so that to optimize the optical fiber system, a study that produces frequency responses to optical fiber attenuation parameters is made. Various sine signal frequency and amplitude values are given as input from an optical fiber dispersing system by looking at the response of the receiver in the form of voltage parameter values. The frequency values given range from 100 Hz to 10 Khz. The linkage of the input amplitude value to the damping value is an output voltage output generated by the amplitude of the amplitude parameter at the sending end. This voltage value comparison is used as the damping parameter of an optical fiber communication system. Giving this frequency will provide the performance of a fiber optic communication system. The resulting voltage value is a constant of changes in the frequency value.
