User Interface Design Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 USER INTERFACE DESIGN Suman Rani Assistant Professor- Guru Nanak College of Management and technology, killianwalli, PUNJAB Mail id- [email protected] 1. Summary User Interface play a vital role in software. Every minor decision taken for the designing the User Interface can contribute the software both positively and negatively. In terms of visibility its design holds the primary importance for displaying the exact amount of information for the users. Therefore, our study is intended to highlight the strategies that are currently being used for successful designing of User Interfaces and right suggestions for betterment of User Interface designs based on case study and research findings. 2. User Interface Design The design of computer interfaces that are usable and easily learned by human is a non-trivial problem for software developers. As information technologies mediate many of the activities we now perform routinely, the process of human computer interaction is of fundamental importance. 3. Introduction User Interface design is the process designers uses to build interfaces in software or computerized devices, focusing on looks or style. Designers aim to create interfaces which users find easy to use and pleasurable. UI design refers to graphical user interfaces and other forms. E.g.-controlled interfaces. User Interface is the representation of the software or business to the user. It is displayed in terms of pictures, colours, text, sounds. The communication with end user by using software is performed by using User Interface. So User Interface plays vital role for creating an impact of entire system to the user. A good User Interface design always expected to have a good error handing. It is also important that a good User Interface is capable of removing all the errors that occur during doing a task. The main purpose of user Interface design is that they should match and satisfy the skills and the expectations of its users. A system will always be judged by its users and its functionality and also its interface design. Many software systems are not used because of poor interface design that confuse the users and lead to many catastrophic errors. So The user interface is the front end application view to which user interacts in order to use the software. User can control and manipulate the software as well as hardware by means of user interface. Today, Volume 10 Issue 6 - 2020 769 www.joics.org Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 user interface is found at almost every place where digital technologies exists, right from computers, mobile phones, cars, music players, airplanes, ships. User Interface can be graphical, text based, audio-video based, depending upon the underlying hardware and software combination. User Interface can be hardware or software or a combination of both. The software become more popular if its User Interface is Attractive, Simple to use, Responsive in short time, Clear to Understand, Consist ant on all interfacing screens. since much human computer interaction is cognitive in nature, involving perception, representation, problem-solving, navigation, query formulation and language processing, the theories and methods of cognitive science and directly relevant to it. A fundamental reality of application development is that the user interface is the system to the users. What user want is for developers to build applications that meet their needs and that are easy to use. To many developers think that they are geniuses- they do not bother to follow user interface design standards or invest the efforts to make their applications usable, instead they mistakenly believe that the important thing is to make the code clever or to use a really intersting colour scheme. A good user interface allows people who understand the problem domaim to work with the application without having to read the manuals or receive training. User interface design is impotant for several reasons. First of all the more intuitive the user interface the easier it is to use, and less expensive to use it. The better the user interface the easier is to train the people to use it, reducing your training costs. The better your user interface the less help people will need to use it, reducing your support costs. The better your user interface the more your users will like to use it, increasing their satisfaction with the work that you have done. 4. Interface in Android Mobile Phones: Android is an operating system that is based on Linux kernal. It is developed by google. Linux is open source and free operating system. After various modifications are done on linux and designed android operating system. Android is designed for touch screen mobiles and tablets. In 2003, by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick sears, Chris white describe a project of Android as tremendous potential in developing smarter mobile devices that are more aware of locations and preference and after this Steve Pertman brought it. In 2005, it was purchased by google and Andy Rabin becomes the memeber of google. Android is a huge platform where we can customize anything accroging to our comfort while others phones like apple ios can still give us very smooth experience. It is also provide features of Mp3 file, sharing of bluetooth, and strong battery power. In Android we can do customizations according to your needs, you cannot do that on iphone because ios is closed source and android is open source. Android is more user friendly every once easily access to it. It contains many features like more customizatins, fits and budgets, more free apps, and expandable storage. Even Android app store is highly secure. We cannot get any virus if we download app over google play store. Moreover let me take a case when I was trying to run KingRoot after download it but google play protect didnot let me do it. It can be easily said Volume 10 Issue 6 - 2020 770 www.joics.org Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 that even android phones security is good and encryption of data would lead to you to the level of security that even government cannot read your data as password is only with you but there was some little problems of scam apps. According to the IBM the best user interface are the one that do not really notice like android. Android 11 is the major release of the android. It has many more features like chat bubbles, conversations, send image on notification, one time permission, mute notification in camera app, digital driver lincense etc. There is a list of major android phones and interface of these android phones. Vivo- Funtouch OS SONY- xperia UI Oppo- color OS SAMSUNG- Touchwiz MI- MIUI Pixel- Pixel UI ASUS- ZenUI Coolpad- Journey UI GIONEE- Indus UI htc- HTC Sense LG- optimus UI MICROMAX- cyanogen OS Nokia- cyanogen OS 5. Android UI Components 5.1. Main Action Bar- Usually at the top of each screen in an application that provide consistant familar look between android apps. It contains meaus in it. 5.2. Content Area- It contains columns, gutters, margins, customizations, breakpoints etc for better presentations of particular app. 5.3. View Control- Vies is considered as a basic building block for proper user interface that is created from view class. Layout that define strcuture of all UI of our application. All element in the layout are build using the hierarchy of view and view group objects. These are created by using any language or by using xml based layout. 6. Android layout types 6.1. Linear Layout- It used to place one element on each line. All element are placed in particular order like horizontal, vertical, at the top or bottom. Volume 10 Issue 6 - 2020 771 www.joics.org Journal of Information and Computational Science ISSN: 1548-7741 6.2. Absolute Layout- By using this we can create tables with rows and colums and also place element with it and a row contain more then one element. 6.3. Relative Layout- It is a view group that display child views in relative positions. we also specify position of elements in relation to other elements or parent element. 6.4. Frame Layout- It is used to show one item on each screen. The frame layout is the place holder on the screen that you can use to display a single view. 7. Layer wise view of the Android cell Phones 7.1 Application Layer- It is the top most layer of the whole framework. It contains many more options like home, contents, gallary etc. We will write our own application to be installed on this layer. Home- It provide close look to the user. It is the visible area of the mobile phone. Contents- It display all the incoming, outgoing, missed calls of a mobile user. In its contents area recent contents and contents list also visible. If we want to find the content number of specific person then use search option. We also send and share data by using import/export option. 7.2 Application Framework Layer Activity Manager- It control and manage application life cycle and also stack of activities. Window Manager- A Software that can control the placement of window. In window the system is Graphical User Interface. Content Provider- It is the central repository of the data. It provide interface to user that working with the data so content provider is used by other applications that provide client object. View System- It handle view position and layout of application. It create an image when we drag and drop of any Icons or any option from the window.

  • Linux Kernal II 9.1 Architecture
    Page 1 of 7 Linux Kernal II 9.1 Architecture: The Linux kernel is a Unix-like operating system kernel used by a variety of operating systems based on it, which are usually in the form of Linux distributions. The Linux kernel is a prominent example of free and open source software. Programming language The Linux kernel is written in the version of the C programming language supported by GCC (which has introduced a number of extensions and changes to standard C), together with a number of short sections of code written in the assembly language (in GCC's "AT&T-style" syntax) of the target architecture. Because of the extensions to C it supports, GCC was for a long time the only compiler capable of correctly building the Linux kernel. Compiler compatibility GCC is the default compiler for the Linux kernel source. In 2004, Intel claimed to have modified the kernel so that its C compiler also was capable of compiling it. There was another such reported success in 2009 with a modified 2.6.22 version of the kernel. Since 2010, effort has been underway to build the Linux kernel with Clang, an alternative compiler for the C language; as of 12 April 2014, the official kernel could almost be compiled by Clang. The project dedicated to this effort is named LLVMLinxu after the LLVM compiler infrastructure upon which Clang is built. LLVMLinux does not aim to fork either the Linux kernel or the LLVM, therefore it is a meta-project composed of patches that are eventually submitted to the upstream projects.

    Articles 35 articles, 2016-07-30 18:01 First Windows 10 Redstone 2 Build Shows Up Online, 1 Public Release in August (0.02/1) The Anniversary Update is also referred to as Redstone 1, so the second Redstone update is what comes next, with sources claiming that the public debut will take place in the spring. Microsoft, however, is ready to start work on it in August, and the first builds are likely to be released to insiders soon after the debut of the Anniversary Update. And according to BuildFeed, the first Windows 10 Redstone 2 build 14894 was already compiled on July 27, and Microsoft is testing it internally. For the moment, however, nobody can tell for sure whether the exact same build will be released to insiders too, but the chances are that it won’t as Microsoft compiles new builds daily, and a release candidate will only come later when we get closer to the launch date. What this build does actually is to confirm that work on Redstone 2 has already started and that Insiders will soon receive new goodies to try out on their PCs and mobile devices. Of course, it’s premature to discuss features and improvements that will be part of the first Windows 10 Redstone 2 builds, but given the fact that it’s just the first version, don’t expect any breaking changes to be released so early. Usually, new features are released throughout the development process, and engineers are now just trying to lay off the foundation for this be possible in the next builds.

    PRESSEMEDDELELSE LG ELECTRONICS København 05. januar 2011 LG præsenterer Optimus Black – ny smarttelefon med verdens mest lysstærke skærm LGs nye skærmteknologi NOVA, som består af en lysstyrke på 700 nits, får sin premiere med Optimus Black – en tynd, let og elegant Android-mobil. Under Consumer Electronics Show (CES) i Las Vegas vil LG Electronics præsentere en ny Android-smarttelefon. LG Optimus Black er verdens første mobiltelefon med LGs nye skærmteknologi NOVA, som med en lysstyrke på 700 nits er designet til at blive den lyseste, klareste og skarpeste skærm på mobilmarkedet. NOVA-teknologien gør, at skærmen på LG Optimus Black er lige skarp og klar uanset om man bruger den indenfor eller udenfor i stærkt sollys. Den er ikke blot lysstærk, men også strømbesparende. Teknologien reducerer strømforbruget med 50 procent ved normal indendørs brug, sammenlignet med en normal LCD-skærm. Tilsvarende bruger AMOLED dobbelt så meget strøm som NOVA til at vise en fuld hvid skærm, som er den hyppigst anvendte farve under webbrowsing. Kombineret med de 1500 mAh batteri i LG Optimus Black, vil brugerne have strøm nok til deres daglige behov selv ved maksimal lysstyrke. Teknologien er lækkert indpakket i en mobiltelefon, som både er tynd og let. Optimus Black vejer kun 109 gram og måler fra 9,2 mm til 6 mm, hvor den er tyndest. Designet gør, at den også er behagelig at holde i hånden. Med LG Optimus Black præsenteres desuden verdens første mobil med Wi-Fi Direct™, hvilket muliggør en let og enkel dataoverførsel mellem mobile enheder. Pris og tilgængelighed LG Optimus Black lanceres med Android 2.2 og vil kunne opgraderes til Android 2.3.

  • Simulation and Comparison of Various Scheduling Algorithm for Improving the Interrupt Latency of Real –Time Kernal
    Journal of Computer Science and Applications. ISSN 2231-1270 Volume 6, Number 2 (2014), pp. 115-123 © International Research Publication House http://www.irphouse.com Simulation And Comparison of Various Scheduling Algorithm For Improving The Interrupt Latency of Real –Time Kernal 1.Lavanya Dhanesh 2.Dr.P.Murugesan 1.Research Scholar, Sathyabama University, Chennai, India. 2.Professor, S.A. Engineering College, Chennai, India. Email:1. [email protected] Abstract The main objective of the research is to improve the performance of the Real- time Interrupt Latency using Pre-emptive task Scheduling Algorithm. Interrupt Latency provides an important metric in increasing the performance of the Real Time Kernal So far the research has been investigated with respect to real-time latency reduction to improve the task switching as well the performance of the CPU. Based on the literature survey, the pre-emptive task scheduling plays an vital role in increasing the performance of the interrupt latency. A general disadvantage of the non-preemptive discipline is that it introduces additional blocking time in higher priority tasks, so reducing schedulability . If the interrupt latency is increased the task switching delay shall be increasing with respect to each task. Hence most of the research work has been focussed to reduce interrupt latency by many methods. The key area identified is, we cannot control the hardware interrupt delay but we can improve the Interrupt service as quick as possible by reducing the no of preemptions. Based on this idea, so many researches has been involved to optimize the pre-emptive scheduling scheme to reduce the real-time interrupt latency.
