Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical 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 activity. 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 committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

Introduction

A single-point gesture is generated by a user with a pointer [which includes an input device (e.g. a mouse, a stylus, etc.) or a body part (e.g. a fingertip, a hand, etc.)] providing gesture actions using a single point of interest (POI). The gesture can be recognized and interpreted as a command which is understood by platforms, systems or applications running information and communications technology (ICT) systems. If the user feels that the gesture is natural and it is convenient and comfortable to generate, he/she can easily utilize the gesture for the applications on the ICT systems without spending an excessive amount of time learning and practising how to use the gesture.

A single-point gesture is used in several commercially-available ICT systems including personal computers, smart televisions, smart phones and video game consoles. There is a need for an International Standard to define the single-point gesture so that a user does not get confused if a gesture is associated with a different command for another application. Potential variety and inconsistency among single-point gestures might cause a serious usability problem in using applications on ICT systems.

This document presents descriptions of single-point gestures and their corresponding gesture commands for system level functions and common functions across applications on ICT systems. The system level functions include functions for selecting, initiating, terminating, resuming and restarting applications which are handled by operating systems or platforms. The common functions across applications are also identified. These functions include navigating menus, opening and closing objects, “help”, “undo”, “redo”, and so on.

The single-point gestures will harmonize with other gestures of multiple POIs. It is expected that users can execute applications more easily and without confusion by utilizing the single-point gestures. The gestures are to be performed by the users regardless of a specific recognition technique, a certain interaction method or a device. The focus of this document is on the users and their cognitive aspects.

1 Scope

This document defines single-point gestures for common system actions used in information and communication technology (ICT) systems. It specifies movements for clear and classified gestures recognized by the systems and applications. The single-point gestures are performed using an input device (e.g. a mouse, a stylus, etc.) or a body part (e.g. a fingertip, a hand, etc.). These single-point gestures are intended to operate in a consistent manner regardless of the system, platform, application or device.
