ISO/IEC 11581-10:2010 情報技術—ユーザーインターフェイスアイコン—パート10：フレームワークと一般的なガイダンス | ページ 6

3.1

activation

initiation of the icon function of a selected icon

Note 1 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.12.

3.2

function description

language-dependent set of words used to clarify the object and/or function represented by the icon to the user

Note 1 to entry: The function description is used to elaborate on the meaning presented by the icon label.

Note 2 to entry: Adapted from the definition of “description” (2.9) in ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007.

3.3

discriminability

ease with which a given icon can be distinguished from other icons that might occur in close spatial, temporal, or contextual proximity

Note 1 to entry: Discriminability applies both to non-textual representations and to icon labels.

3.4

icon

user-interface symbol representing an object and/or function of the computer system

Note 1 to entry: Within this part of ISO/IEC 11581, “icon” is also used to refer to the function or object represented by the user-interface symbol. An icon, which is generally rendered using an identifiable user-interface symbol, is much more than just a user-interface symbol; it also includes functionality (either as the object it represents or as the function that it represents).

Note 2 to entry: The concept of a symbol is used in the most generic of senses and can be rendered in various modalities. Renderings of these user-interface symbols include visual (graphical) icons, auditory icons, and tactile icons.

3.5

attribute

data item that modifies or describes some aspect of an icon

Note 1 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.2.

3.6

function

capability of the computer system represented by an icon

3.7

graphic

visual representation of an icon

3.8

internal identifier

language-independent information used to internally define an icon that is intended to ensure system-based recognition of a particular icon

Note 1 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.6.

Note 2 to entry: The identifier of an icon is called “internal” because it is only intended for the use of the system and is not intended to be presented to the user.

3.9

label

language-dependent information used to supplement or provide a textual representation of the icon

Note 1 to entry: An icon label can be rendered with other renderings of an icon or on its own.

Note 2 to entry: This can include information in various languages, e.g. English, Japanese, Blissymbols.

Note 3 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.8.

3.10

operation

predefined interaction with an icon that a user initiates

Note 1 to entry: The main icon operations are selection, activation, and manipulation.

Note 2 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.4.

3.11

manipulation

controlling the selected icon without activating it

3.12

selection

explicitly identifying an icon that is intended as the target for subsequent action

Note 1 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.10.

3.13

selection indication

cue that indicates the selected icon, to which the user may apply a subsequent action

Note 1 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.11.

3.14

state

status of an icon which is related to the currently permitted interactions with the icon

Note 1 to entry: Adapted from ISO/IEC TR 11580:2007, definition 2.7.

3.15

state variations

permitted alterations of an icon's non-textual representation used to present state information

3.16

style variations

permitted alterations of an icon graphic used to adapt all non-textual representations to specific design styles or specific system technologies while retaining their essential perceptual characteristics including discriminability

3.17

translation

alternate version of language-dependent components of an icon to suit specific cultural and linguistic audiences while retaining their essential content and discriminability

3.18

user-interface element

entity of the user interface that is presented to the user by the software

Note 1 to entry: User-interface elements can be interactive or not.

Note 2 to entry: Both entities relevant to the task and entities of the user interface are regarded as user-interface elements. A user-interface element can be a visual representation or an interaction mechanism for a task object (such as a letter, sales order, electronic part or wiring diagram) or a system object (such as a printer, hard disk or network connection). It can be possible for the user to directly manipulate some of these user-interface elements.

Note 3 to entry: User-interface elements in a graphical user interface include basic objects (such as window title bars, menu items, push buttons, image maps, and editable text fields) and containers (such as windows, grouping boxes, menu bars, menus, groups of mutually-exclusive option buttons, and compound images that are made up of several smaller images). User-interface elements in an audio user interface include menus, menu items, messages, and action prompts.

3.19

variations

permitted alterations of an icon's non-textual representation that retain the icon's essential perceptual characteristics including discriminability

Note 1 to entry: There are two types of variations dealt with in this part of ISO/IEC 11581, namely state variations and style variations.
