Abstract
This thesis addresses the challenge of heterogeneous personal devices across multiple Personal Area Networks (PANs) and explores how everyday users can intuitively manage services and resource sharing within a Personal Network (PN) composed of several PANs. Building on a large multitouch tabletop from a prior project, the PN Table Manager is conceived as a finger-driven interface that visually represents devices and their services and supports direct manipulation, such as drag and drop, to share or unshare services. The work draws on the MAGNET Beyond framework, defines user scenarios, system states, use cases, and requirements, and designs a graphical user interface using cluster-map visualizations (Aduna) alongside components like a virtual keyboard and XML-RPC-based interaction. An implementation and high-fidelity prototype are outlined, followed by planned usability and functionality tests. Test findings are not included in the provided excerpt.
Specialet adresserer udfordringen med heterogene personlige enheder på tværs af flere Personal Area Networks (PAN) og undersøger, hvordan almindelige brugere intuitivt kan administrere tjenester og ressourcedeling i et Personligt Netværk (PN) sammensat af flere PAN’er. Med udgangspunkt i et stort multitouch-bord fra et tidligere projekt er PN Table Manager tænkt som en fingerstyret grænseflade, der visuelt repræsenterer enheder og deres tjenester og understøtter direkte manipulation, f.eks. træk-og-slip, for at dele eller ophæve deling. Arbejdet bygger på MAGNET Beyond-rammen, definerer brugerscenarier, systemtilstande, use cases og krav, og designer en grafisk brugerflade med cluster-map-visualiseringer (Aduna) samt komponenter som virtuelt tastatur og XML-RPC-baseret interaktion. Implementering og en høj-fidelitetsprototype skitseres efterfulgt af planlagte brugbarheds- og funktionalitetstests. Testresultater er ikke med i det leverede uddrag.
