10、Lh58 54T W Page 5 ETR 261-1: October 1996 Foreword This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) has been produced by the Human Factors (HF) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). ETRs are informative documents resulting from ETSI studies which are not appropriate for

11、European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) or Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) status. An ETR may be used to publish material which is either of an informative nature, relating to the use or the application of ETSs or I-ETSs, or which is immature and not yet suitable for formal ado

12、ption as an ETS or an I-ETS. Introduction The Technical Committee for Human Factors has prepared this ETSI Technical Report to report publicly its work on the assessment and definition of a harmonized minimum man-machine interface for the access and control of public network based supplementary serv

13、ices. It is intended to complement ETS 300 738 3. This ETR constitutes part 1 of a multi-part ETR (“Assessment and definition of a harmonized minimum man-machine interface (MMI) for accessing and controlling public network based supplementary services“), whose parts have the following titles: Part 1

14、: Part 2: “General approach and summary of findings“; “Literature review - Memory and related issues for dialling supplementary services number codes“; “Experimental comparison of two MMIs - Simulated UPT access and prototype supplementary services“; “Experimental comparison of the effect of categor

15、ized and non-categorized formats user instructions“; “Experimental comparison of the CEPT and GSM codes schemes“; Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: using ISDN within Part 6: “Survey of existing PSTN, ISDN and mobile networks, and a user survey of supplementary service use within Centrex and PBX environments“;

16、 Part 7: “Experimental evaluation of draft ETS 300 738“ The intended users of this ETR are shown in table 1. The work reported in this ETR was conducted in response to the rapid growth of telecommunications networks and services, and the increasing mobility of the human user, both within and between

17、 networks. One of the missions for ETSI TC-HF is the recommendation of user control procedures for gaining access to and control of telecommunication services. This multi-part ETR describes the results of a programme of work conducted within ETSI STC HF1 concentrated on the user control procedures f

18、or supplementary services. The objective was to assess the user and technology requirements and to define a minimum man-machine interface (MMI) that can be applied consistently across networks. The definition of the MMI is presented separately in ETS 300 738 3. The key stimulus for the work came whe

19、n ETSI TC-SMG chose to define the minimum MMI for controlling GSM supplementary services 2 with significant differences to the existing European (CEPT) l or International (ITU-T) li recommendations. Now, it seemed, that users would have to learn two very similar command languages to operate two very

20、 similar sets of supplementary services; and to distinguish between these depending upon which terminal I network system they were using. What is more, when the project surveyed European network operators, 17 out of 18 PSTN operators reported that they had implemented a third code scheme, ETR 261-6

21、181, a cut down version of the CEPT recommendations 111.
