14、cal Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies 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 acti

15、vity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international 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 commi

16、ttee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given 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 t

17、o national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by 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 respons

19、 functions that act upon pre-selected or default objects. Functionsinitiated by these icons may also be available via text commands on menus. Multimedia control icons provide directaccess to functions by graphically representing those text commands.ISO/IEC 18035 provides guidance of the graphics to

20、be used by implementers of ISO 14915-2, Softwareergonomics for multimedia user interfaces Part 2: Multimedia navigation and control.The icon functions and graphics included in ISO/IEC 18035 have been selected on the basis of their common useacross contemporary software platforms and applications.INT

24、itions apply. 4.1 application collection of functions with which a user can perform a task 1 ScopeISO/IEC 18035 applies to icons that are shown on a computer screen, that users can manipulate and interact with,and that represent computer system functions. ISO/IEC 18035 describes user interaction wit

25、h 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 symbols and functions.This international standard defines a consistent set of icons and related functions that are presented

26、by multimediaapplications on a computer screen and that users interact with to control such applications. These control iconstypically represent actions by association with conventional controls on hardware devices (for example videorecorders and compact disk players) that prompt the user to recall

27、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 backward, Loop, Record, Go to beginning, Go to previous, Go to next,Go to end, Set volume and Mute.2 ConformanceA system,

28、application or set of one or more icons conforms to ISO/IEC 18035 if all multimedia navigation iconsavailable to the user in the system or application conform to sub clause 5.1 of this standard and clause 5 and sub-clause 6.1 of ISO/ IEC 11581-1:2000.ISO/IEC 18035:2003(E) 2 ISO/IEC 2003 All rights r

31、 system”.5 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 v

32、ariations 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

33、an action 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 v

34、isual feedback when a function has been invoked via a multimedia control icon. There shall also bevisual feedback that indicates the status of the action.ISO/IEC 18035:2003(E) ISO/IEC 2003 All rights reserved 3NOTE Typically, multimedia control icons are presented as, and have the same behaviour as,

35、 real, three-dimensionalpush buttons.The visual feedback to the user from activated action icons shall be consistent and logical.5.2 Recommendations5.2.1 Function and graphicIf an interactive system or application uses an action icon that serves the primary function specified in clause 6 ofthis stan

36、dard, it is highly recommended that it have the appearance of the action icon graphic specified in clause 6,within the specific variations given 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 conside

37、red which renders the graphic of the symbolssufficiently prominent in comparison with other information on the screen.5.2.3 ColourMultimedia 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 thisst

38、andard). The sizes shown in clause 6 are relative to the complexity of the design and implementation of the icons.The aspect ratio of the cell 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

39、 of text inside multimedia control icons should be avoided. However, if text is included, plain typefacesshould be used. If text is used, it should be used in a manner that supports adaptation for cultural, linguistic andcomprehensibility purposes.ISO/IEC 18035:2003(E) 4 ISO/IEC 2003 All rights rese
