ABSTRACT
Designing a communication device that is to be used with direct human interaction is a complex task. Hardware designer has to meet both the requirements of potential users (human side) and the requirements of programmers (software side). Selecting from a variety of interfaces and protocols and optimizing the technical part of the new device is definitely not enough. The main goal of every designer is to make their products acceptable for users. This article introduces a set of criteria that should be considered to fulfil the needs of users and provides an overview of technologies and their features from that point of view. The combination of being user-friendly, multiplatform, developper-accessible, self-installing or even simple or aestethic is very difficult to achieve, but it is possible as shown in this paper.

A novel intuitive GUI method for user-friendly operation
A novel push-pin icon is introduced as an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) in associations from free layouts of printed paper sheets on a pin-up board. It is shown that necessary commands for GUI implementation can be represented by push-pin ...
