Mindmap for User Interfaces
Command Line Interface
When using a CLI, users enter text
instructions and the computer system
provides results or feedback as text.
• This type of interface is found in older
systems or for devices with limited storage
because it requires little memory.
• Command have to be typed precisely
because the interface only recognizes
certain commands. Usually a help menu for
users lists and explains the acceptable
commands.
• Advantage is that it is quick and straight
forward to execute the commands
user interface
Deserves can give you command to advise through the user interface. It's also called human computer interface. There are several types of user interface.
Menu Driven Interface
This type of interface displays a list of options as
a menu.
• Selecting one of these options will either trigger
a command or display another menu with further
options to choose from.
• Menu driven interfaces are easier to use than CLI
but take more time as you have to through the
menu structure each time to carry out a
command, rather than typing the command
directly in to the system
Application area :
Educational software, Games software ,
Entertainment softwares
Graphical User Interface
A Graphical User Interface is controlled by a pointer on the
screen and uses a screen made up of windows, icons and
menus. This feature is called WIMP (windows, icons, menus
and pointing device used to move pointer to select them)
o Windows are areas of the screen that are dedicated to
applications or operating system tasks
o Icons are small images that represent an application
o Menus provide options for tasks relating to the
operating system or open application
• It is user friendly and the easiest type of interface but it
takes
up more memory and storage than a CLI or menu driven
interface.
Application area(where is it used)
Application
area
Used in SIRI, Alexa, GPS systems
Voice interface
A voice interface allows the user to give
spoken commands to s device
• The device has voice recognition
software which matches the spoken
words against a library of words to find
a match.
• The disadvantage is that sometime
software cannot find a match or returns
an incorrect match, which produces
unwanted results. For this reason, they
sometimes check the instruction with
the user before searching for a match.
• The advantage is that hands-free
operation is possible. This means that
they used in GPS systems in vehicles in
order to improve road safety.
This type of interface allows user to
control the device by swiping their
finger or fingers across the screen or
pinching their fingers together to zoom
in or out.
▪ This type of interface is commonly found
on devices using touchscreens like
smartphones, tablets etc, games
consoles, Medical procedure softwares
Examples: Disk operating Systems, Mouse
System Power Panel, Command Prompt,
UNIX systems
Gesture interface
