Abstract
The past two decades have seen a shift in the multimedia consumption behaviours from that of collectivism and passivity, to individualism and activity. This paper introduces the architectural design, implementation and user evaluation of a second screen application, which is designed to supersede the traditional user control interface for primary screen interaction. We describe how NSMobile, our second screen application, can be used as a pervasive multimedia platform by integrating user experiences on both the second screen and primary screen. The quantitative and qualitative evaluation of user interactions with interactive TV content also contributes to the future design of second screen applications.

BCS Northampton: IVR Part 1 - Application user interface

IVR Part 1 - Application user interface

15th December 2015

Avenue Campus,  University of Northampton

7pm starting at 7:30pm

The Application User Interface is key to developing a new Service or user Application.

The best Applications use a Simple Formula.

    1 Keep it simple (Ask the right questions)

    2 Reduce the amount of information required from the user.

   3 Feedback simple but succinct information.

   4 Extract Known or available information (CLI, DNIS, Account details, Mobile number, IP address etc.)

   5 Communication should be a no blame format should be seen as a second stage information gathering

Applications can be

   1 Voice based (Speech or Tone)

   2 Application based (Web)

   3 Multimedia/Hybrid (Audio, Voice, Web, SMS, Email, Web)

Knowing how to communicate with the end user is key to a successful deployment.

Build up knowledge on regular callers understand their preferences.
