  1. Interfaces By: Ben Griffin and Laurel Baston

  2. What is an Interface • An interface is the aggregate of means by which people (the users) interact with a particular machine, device, computer program or other complex tool (the system).

  3. Examples of an Interface • Driving a Car • Brushing your Teeth • Opening a Door • Using a Computer

  4. Main Types of Interfaces • Human-machine Interface • Command-line Interface • Tactile Interface • Touch Interface

  5. Human-machine Interface • The user interface of a mechanical system, a vehicle or an industrial installation is sometimes referred to as the human-machine interface (HMI).

  6. Command-line Interface • A CLI (command line interface) is a user interface to a computer's operating system or an application in which the user responds to a visual prompt by typing in a command on a specified line, receives a response back from the system, and then enters another command, and so forth. The MS-DOS Prompt application in a Windows operating system is an example of the provision of a command line interface. Today, most users prefer the graphical user interface (GUI) offered by Windows, Mac OS, BeOS, and others. Typically, most of today's Unix-based systems offer both a command line interface and a graphical user interface. • Example: Gentoo Linux

  8. Tactile Interface • Tactile interfaces supplement or replace other forms of output with haptic (means pertaining to the sense of touch) feedback methods. Used in computerized simulators etc. Example: Braille

  10. Touch Interface • Touch interfaces are graphical user interfaces using a touch screen display as a combined input and output device. Used in many types of industrial processes and machines, self-service machines etc.

  12. Two Main Types of Digital Interfaces • Graphical User Interface • Web-based user interfaces

  13. Graphical User Interface • This is a computer interface that uses icons and text to control the system. • Examples: Interaction between the Mouse and an icon.

  14. Web-based Computer interface • Web-based user interfaces accept input and provide output by generating web pages which are transported via the Internet and viewed by the user using a web browser program.
