TLDR
A user interface is that portion of an interactive computer system that communicates with the user as mentioned in this paper. User interfaces include any aspect of the system that is visible to the user, such as a keyboard, mouse, or display.Abstract:
A user interface is that portion of an interactive computer system that communicates with the user. Design of the user interface includes any aspect of the system that is visible to the user. Once, all computer users were specialists in computing, and interfaces consisted of jumper wires in patch boards, punched cards (q.v.) prepared offline, and batch printouts. Today a wide range of nonspecialists use computers, and keyboards, mice, and graphical displays are the most common interface hardware. The user interface is becoming a larger and larger portion of the software in a computer system--and a more important portion, as broader groups of people use computers. As computers become more powerful, the critical bottleneck in applying computer-based systems to solve problems is more often in the user interface rather than in the computer hardware or software.read more

Method for inputting command in mobile terminal and mobile terminal using the same
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method of inputting a command in a mobile terminal comprising; storing a table including at least one drawing pattern and a command on the each drawing pattern; receiving a user drawing on a touch screen; and determining a drawing pattern matching with the user drawing pattern by comparing the user drawings pattern and the table to execute a command corresponding the determined drawing pattern.

The AROUND architecture for dynamic location-based services
TL;DR: The objective is to extend the advantages of service-based architectures to the development of location-based systems, thus providing a more open and extensible alternative to the “vertical” approaches typically used in this type of system.

Direct Manipulation: A Step Beyond Programming Languages
TL;DR: As I talked with enthusiasts and examined the systems they used, I began to develop a model of the features that produced such delight, and the central ideas seemed to be visibility of the object of interest; rapid, reversible, incremental actions; and replacement of complex command language syntax by direct manipulation of the objects of interest.

Direct manipulation interfaces
TL;DR: A cognitive account of both the advantages and disadvantages of direct manipulation interfaces is sought and two underlying phenomena that give rise to the feeling of directness of manipulation are identified.
