National bodies

16、 that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other int

17、ernational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules give

18、n in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval b

19、y at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 18035 was prepared by Joint Te

28、 manipulate and interact with,and that represent computer system functions. ISO/IEC 18035 describes user interaction with and the appearanceof multimedia control icons on the screen. Other forms of icons are covered in ISO/IEC 11581 Informationtechnology User system interfaces and symbols Icon symbo

29、ls and functions.This international standard defines a consistent set of icons and related functions that are presented by multimediaapplications on a computer screen and that users interact with to control such applications. These control iconstypically represent actions by association with convent

30、ional controls on hardware devices (for example videorecorders and compact disk players) that prompt the user to recall the intended actions.This standard provides a consistent set of controls for such functions as: Play, Pause, Stop, Rewind, Fast forward,Scan forward, Scan backward, Replay, Play ba

35、 Requirements and recommendations5.1 Requirements5.1.1 Graphic and functionIf an interactive system or application uses a multimedia control icon that has the appearance of the icon graphicspecified in clause 6 of this standard, within the specific variations given, and within the global variations

36、specifiedin ISO/IEC 11581-1, it shall serve the primary function specified in clause 6 of this standard.5.1.2 ArrangementRelated multimedia control icons shall be grouped together. The elements of these groups shall be arrangedtogether in rows, columns or boxes.5.1.3 SelectionSelection of an action

37、icon shall be made by indicating with the pointer and activating the associated input device(e.g. clicking a mouse button).5.1.4 Visual feedbackThere shall be a clear visual discriminability between multimedia control icons that represent available andunavailable functions.There shall be visual feed

38、back when a function has been invoked via a multimedia control icon. There shall also bevisual feedback that indicates the status of the action.Copyright American National Standards Institute Provided by IHS under license with ANSINot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license

40、ndations5.2.1 Function and graphicIf an interactive system or application uses an action icon that serves the primary function specified in clause 6 ofthis standard, it is highly recommended that it have the appearance of the action icon graphic specified in clause 6,within the specific variations g

41、iven and within the global variations specified in clause 6.3 of ISO/IEC 11581-1.5.2.2 MetaphorA consistent highlighting or presentation style should be considered which renders the graphic of the symbolssufficiently prominent in comparison with other information on the screen.5.2.3 ColourMultimedia

42、 control icons may be coloured.5.2.4 Cell sizeIcon cell sizes are not required to be square (as can be observed from the various shaped icons depicted in thisstandard). The sizes shown in clause 6 are relative to the complexity of the design and implementation of the icons.The aspect ratio of the ce

43、ll sizes are not part of this standard.5.2.5 AppearanceAll icons of a similar selection status should be of a similar visual strength.5.2.6 Text/typefaceThe use of text inside multimedia control icons should be avoided. However, if text is included, plain typefacesshould be used. If text is used, it

44、 should be used in a manner that supports adaptation for cultural, linguistic andcomprehensibility purposes.Copyright American National Standards Institute Provided by IHS under license with ANSINot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-ISO/IEC 18035:2003(E)
