21、the present document. Foreword This ETSI Guide (EG) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Human Factors (HF). Intended users of the present document are user experience and interaction design professionals, developers of mobile terminals, services and applications, mobile network and system
22、providers, terminal approvers, standard writers, product managers and developers. Other stakeholders who may benefit from its use include service and application providers, virtual operators and others. The focus of the guidelines provided in the present document is on public mobile network terminal
23、s and services but they are mostly also applicable to other technologies, e.g. cordless or IP-based telephony and Wi-Fi. Introduction Information and communication technologies (ICT) play a key role in the everyday life of many people and mobile communication services are a mass market. New applicat
24、ions and services are increasingly used to perform necessary or entertaining tasks. Connectivity and interoperability between telecommunications networks, personal computing, the Internet and ever-smarter mobile devices and services offer enormous potential for improving quality of life, if used as
25、intended and usable by all. Users who cannot understand and learn how to efficiently use their terminals, services and integrated or additionally offered applications will be permanently excluded from the eSociety. Ensuring access to mobile communication for all is a common goal of vendors, operator
26、s, service providers, user associations, as well as policy makers, often referring to the creation of the e-inclusive information society. In the past (and currently still in underdeveloped countries), the question of the “digital divide“ defined the “haves“ and “have-nots“ mainly in economic terms,
27、 dividing those who can afford new technology from those who cannot. Technological progress in network and infrastructure deployment and manufacturing and economy-of-scale effects in household availability and service provision make access to services affordable to the largest proportion of the Euro
28、pean society. More recently, a new facet of a possible “digital divide“ has been noted, namely the one that is related to the comprehension of how to use new terminals and services. This latter aspect of the “digital divide“ has direct economic and societal consequences as the uptake of mobile servi
29、ces will only be at a successful level if the new terminals and services can actually be accessed, set up and used by the European citizens. Improved user education helps end users to discover, understand, access, maintain and make use of new and existing services. Consequently, this also benefits s
30、ervice and network operators through increased service uptake and society, as a whole, by ensuring improved access to mobile ICT for consumers who might otherwise be excluded (e.g. older users or users with disabilities). ETSI ETSI EG 202 417 V1.1.2 (2006-12) 6 The present document introduces and an
31、alyses the most important areas and issues of relevance to user education and provides clear sets of guidelines on how user instructions for mobile terminals and services ought to be provided, taking into account the requirement of different user groups (e.g. young, older, disabled and less literate
32、 users) and the possibilities offered by different media. The guidelines have a practical focus on the most common difficulties and problems faced by ICT users. The guidelines provided take into consideration the constraints faced by the ICT industry in the provision of user education e-service. The
33、 present document provides generic guidelines covering the content and development and validation process of user education material for mobile terminals and services, in addition to the general guidelines provided in 20. In addition, it provides generic guidelines applicable to the terminology and
34、illustrations used. This is followed by the provision of specific guidelines, applicable to paper-based user guides, terminal-based user guides, PC-screen based user guides (also when presented from portable storage devices), audio user guides and other information sources. In the last clauses, spec
35、ific guidelines for improved accessibility and usability evaluation are presented. In Annex A (normative), a listing of all design guidelines previously introduced in the document is provided (without introducing any new guidelines in addition to those in earlier clauses). These carry an indication
36、about their applicability and the clause they can be found in the present document, together with further details and information. Annex B (informative) introduces key aspects of user needs and user segmentation. It should be noted that the guidelines provided in the present document should only be
37、regarded as enabling, not guaranteeing, the creation of user education material meeting the above discussed goals. The guidelines provided have been developed by experts with considerable expertise in technical communication and have been discussed and agreed with key players of the ICT industry in
38、a consensus-oriented way. They have also been presented at various conferences and dedicated requirement collection and consensus building workshops. ETSI ETSI EG 202 417 V1.1.2 (2006-12) 7 1 Scope The present document provides guidelines for the development, presentation, and evaluation of user edu
39、cation such as paper-based user guides or digital help systems for mobile terminals and services. The aim of the present document is to provide generic and specific guidelines, based on stakeholder and expert consensus that help increase the uptake and usage of mobile terminals and services for avai
40、lable and emerging mobile infrastructures. Appropriate examples of best practices are provided to ensure that users will receive user instructions and other guidance that are appropriate for their level of expertise and abilities, using media or a combination of media that benefits the largest range
41、 of users; and that are structured in a way to offer an excellent user experience. An integrated Design-for-All approach has been adopted throughout the present document, taking into account the needs and requirements of children, older users and users with disabilities. It is acknowledged, however,
42、 that some users with very extensive and complex disabilities may have requirements beyond the level addressed in the present document. Furthermore, mechanisms for user instructions documents are explored that facilitate the production of specific versions of user guides, addressing users with speci
43、fic requirements. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
