STF285 User Education and Set-up Procedures
  • Contracted experts representing
  • Nokia,
  • Siemens,
  • Sony Ericsson and
  • Independent consultants
  • Takes into account previous work
  • Open, result-oriented, pro-active work based on
    consensus
  • All results agreed with key players in the
    industry
  • ETSI Guides to be published in September 2006

22
STF 285 Scope
  • Elaborate the previous work in two key areas
  • Set-up procedures
  • User Education
  • Provide guidelines on both areas in order to
    support device and service design
  • Support users in first-time device and service
    set up
  • Support users in using features and services
  • Principles identifying minimum quality standards
  • Ensure a design-for-all approach (universal
    design)
  • Outline solutions for ensuring access by the
    widest possible range of users

23
Rationale for minimum standards in set-up
procedures
  • Failure to set up successfully mobile devices and
    services leads to low or no service uptake,
    decreased trust in manufacturer and service
    provider
  • Mobile devices and services are complex and
    abstract, and cannot always be pre-installed by
    the manufacturer
  • Trends that underline the importance of the
    issue
  • Changing population demographics
  • Population mobility
  • Increasing user expectations
  • The deployment of advanced social services
  • Access to services by all
  • Increasing variability in the segmentation of
    customers.

24
Areas covered set-up procedures
  • Importance of set up procedures
  • Previous work
  • Initial set up and product replacement
  • Life cycle, user activity and context of usage
  • Use cases for set-up activities
  • Generic set-up guidelines
  • Terminal-specific set-up guidelines
  • e-service-specific set-up guidelines
  • Set-up procedures and design for all
  • Development and evaluation of set-up procedures

25
Draft ETSI Guide Setup Procedure Design
Guidelines for Mobile Terminals and e-services
  • The complexity of mobile services and devices
    creates a digital divide between users with the
    ability to use new services and those who do not
    know how to get access to these services
  • Goals
  • Support service and device designers through user
    interface design guidelines for the development
    of appropriate setup procedures
  • Enable all users to access mobile services
    through their devices
  • Overcome the hurdle to using remote services for
    first-time users with limited capabilities.

26
Our approach from use cases to guidelines
  • Use cases provide a common non-technical language
    for investigating user activities and their
    relation to system behaviors
  • From these use cases we develop user interface
    design guidelines for the development of
    appropriate procedures and interfaces
  • These guideline are categorized into main
    themes major principles for the user interface
    design of setup procedures
  • Strive for completeness through a comprehensive
    set of use cases which cover all major aspects of
    setup procedures

27
Setup activity framework
To ensure that our use cases cover all relevant
aspects of setup activities, we classify them
using a three-dimensional framework
  • The Life-cycle of device/service usage
  • A new service or device is first put into use,
  • during standard usage, or
  • at the end of its lifetime when the device or
    service is replaced by a successor.
  • The Types of User Activities High-level setup
    activities are considered in the following areas
  • Communication,
  • Fun/Filling
  • Grey-Time,
  • M-Commerce,
  • Content Gathering/Browsing,
  • Personalisation, and
  • Synchronisation/Update.
  • The Context of Usage Key aspects of context are
  • the User (personas can be used to address needs
    of special user groups) ,
  • Mobility (walking or standing, static but in
    transit (e.g. in a train), static with/without
    laptop (e.g. in the kitchen)).

28
Example use cases
  • Personalization PETER WANTS TO GET THE SAME
    SETTINGS (SKINS, MUSIC, RINGER TONES etc.) THAT
    HE HAS ON HIS OLD PHONE ON A NEW PHONE BOUGHT IN
    SPAIN
  • Peter is a retired UK inhabitant, living in
    Spain, with PC available
  • Synch/Update BRUNO WOULD LIKE TO ACTIVATE A NEW
    SERVICE (COST-OPTIMIZED GPRS-ROAMING) AND DISABLE
    THE PREDECESSOR
  • Bruno is a deaf power-user
  • M-Commerce JOHANNA WANTS TO UPDATE CREDIT CARD
    INFORMATION AT HER FAVORITE ON-LINE STORE
  • Johanna is a female adult
  • Communication WHILE COMMUTING TO SCHOOL LEA
    WANTS TO SEND AN MMS BUT CANNOT SEND THE MESSAGE
  • Lea is a high-school student
  • Sync/Update PETER HAS LOST HIS PHONE AND NEEDS
    TO RECOVER HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION ONTO A NEW
    DEVICE. ALSO, HE WANTS TO PROTECT HIS INFORMATION
    ON THE LOST PHONE
  • Peter is a male adult

29
Use case template
  • Based on Cockburn (1997)
  • Use case describes a high-level set-up activity
    to be achieved
  • Variations/extensions explore problems during
    set-up
  • Guidelines generated from problem solutions
  • Solutions are near-term

  • MARCO (40) WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE GREETING ON
    HIS NETWORK VOICEMAIL. HE WOULD LIKE TO USE AN
    AMUSING MP3 FILE THAT HE SON HAS DOWNLOADED ONTO
    HIS PHONE (construction worker)

37
Main UI principles for device and service setup
UIs
  • Leave the control of the setup process with the
    user
  • Automate the setup process as far as possible
  • Keep the configuration at a minimum number of
    steps
  • Always keep necessary addresses for
    help/information
  • Provide all necessary information to the user
  • Provide all configuration information in the
    user's native or other preferred language
  • Provide all configuration information in the
    users vocabulary
  • Use existing standards and guidelines
  • Design for different abilities and know-how

38
Leave the control of the setup process with the
user
  • Always allow for interrupts from the user (Cancel
    button) Always allow a way out, but make it
    easier to stay in
  • Provide "back", "next", "cancel", and "finish" as
    well as "help" controls
  • Indicate the progress of the configuration
    procedure to the user
  • Make actions reversible, allow for human error
  • Navigation should be under user control
    throughout the configuration procedure

39
Leave the control of the setup process with the
user
  • If the configuration procedure fails or is
    aborted the state of the terminal should revert
    to that previous to the start of the
    configuration procedure. The user should be
    informed on how to proceed in order to complete
    the configuration
  • If a service recognizes that it is not configured
    properly it should inform the user and initiate
    the setup process if requested

40
Leave the control of the setup process with the
user
  • Success or failure for each setup step should be
    communicated to the user. Steps to correct the
    failure should be communicated as well
  • During the transfer of setup information from one
    device to another non-optimal transfer should
    require confirmation by the user
  • Transfer of setup information from one device to
    a second device should not modify the contents on
    the first device. (Attention license information
    may be a problem) Any modification on the source
    device should be confirmed by the user
  • As far as possible, avoid forcing the user to
    input entries for settings. Provide appropriate
    default entries for settings

41
Automate as far as possible
  • Pre-configuration is the preferred solution for
    configuration of terminal and service access
  • If pre-configuration cannot be achieved, some
    means of guided configuration should be provided,
    taking into consideration the needs of all users
    (including elderly or disabled users)
  • Provide means for guided and/or manual
    configuration in the terminal, if
    pre-configuration cannot be achieved
  • Subsequent updates of settings, e.g. OTA, should
    provide the default entries for terminal or
    service resets

42
Automate as far as possible
  • It should be possible to return to an interrupted
    setup procedure without loss of earlier input
  • A service/device should be usable with minimum
    setup/come preconfigured with place-holder values
    like e.g. greeting message

43
Automate as far as possible
  • Use the language selected for the phone as a
    default for configuration of services
  • A service should be able to control/correct its
    configuration on the users device without user
    intervention, as long as there is no cost
    implication
  • Basic setup should be available OTA e.g. by
    sending a short message to a service centre,
    which automatically configures the service and
    the device settings

44
Keep configuration at a minimum number of steps
  • Dont ask for unnecessary confirmations
  • Dont provide extraneous information during the
    setup process
  • Avoid disturbances during setup wherever possible
  • Provide auto-completion where appropriate allow
    disabling of this feature under user-control
  • If a service is unavailable due to other reasons
    (e.g. network not available, service not
    configured for roaming while user is abroad) the
    user should get a correct indication of the
    reason for failure

45
Keep necessary addresses for help/information
  • Provide simple access to call-centres or to
    detailed information during setup processes
  • Links to information and information in the
    service/device should be kept up-to-date during
    the lifetime of a device/service
  • Relevant information on how to deal with for
    worst-case scenarios (e.g. lost or stolen phone)
    should be available (on the service provider side)

46
Keep necessary addresses for help/information
  • As a fallback solution a service phone number
    should be available through which the
    configuration can be initiated from a call centre
  • Each service provider should provide a manual,
    face to face channel to modify sensitive data
    details in the event of failure of the automated
    process
  • Operator-specific service information should be
    provided directly in the handset, including the
    means to control the service

47
Provide all necessary information to the user
  • Provide a clear description of what equipment and
    information the user needs to have ready to hand
    during the configuration procedure, and if
    necessary, how to obtain it
  • Convey what settings need to be configured and
    what effect configuring a setting will have by
    providing natural entry points into the
    configuration procedure
  • Indicate the progress of the configuration
    procedure to the user
  • Success or failure for each setup step should be
    communicated to the user. Steps to correct the
    failure should be communicated as well

48
Provide all necessary information to the user
  • Provide clear indication and differentiation of
    what the setting is and what the actual entry of
    the setting is
  • Provide clear instructions on what type of
    information is required at each step of the
    configuration procedure. Provide illustrative
    examples
  • Provide examples of the correct format for the
    required setting entries and support for handling
    the formats
  • Provide information to the user on which settings
    are pre-configured
  • Provide a clear overview of the steps of the
    configuration sequence

49
Provide all necessary information to the user
  • Provide a logical and consistent order to the
    configuration procedure. Provide information on
    how to change settings later
  • Provide clear feedback when the configuration
    procedure ends
  • Only provide steps that involve instructions,
    choices or feedback relevant to the configuration
    procedure. All other steps are redundant
  • Exploration users should have easy access to all
    features that can be configured
  • Where possible these features should be related
    to the users experience, know -ow, environment,
    preferences, and location
  • Cost consequences should be shown to the user

50
Provide all necessary information to the user
  • The user interface should communicate if the
    configuration is related to a remote or a local
    feature
  • During the transfer of setup information/contents
    from one device to another, steps that cannot be
    completed or are completed in a non-optimal way
    need to be signalled to the user
  • Pending automated registration should be
    communicated to the user
  • If a service is unavailable due to the
    unavailability of underlying network services
    this should be clearly indicated to the user to
    prevent frustrating configuration attempts or
    un-intended reconfiguration of the requested
    service

51
Provide all necessary information to the user
  • Reasons for unavailability of services should be
    clearly indicated
  • If a setup-action has not been successful the
    device should inform the user as to why the
    action has not been carried out. State of the
    system must be clear to the user and should be
    communicated to the user
  • Information should be provided on authentication
    and authorisation
  • Where common services are provided on web/WAP
    these services should be indicated (space
    permitting)
  • Changes impacting the service should be indicated
    to the user if they necessitate reconfiguration
  • If a service can be activated and deactivated
    through several channels, the result should be
    the same (and the information channels should
    interoperate)

52
Provide all configuration information in the
user's native or other preferred language
  • Option to explicitly select a preferred language
    should be part of every setup process
  • The language of the device can be a good default
    for the service setup language
  • Users should be prompted to select their ideal
    language when using a new device

53
Provide all configuration information in the
users vocabulary
  • Do not display machine code error messages
  • Where necessary, provide explanations of concepts
    that need to be understood by the user during
    configuration
  • Provide consistent terminology across all sources
    of configuration information
  • Avoid giving unnecessary information to the user
  • As far as possible, hide technical concepts that
    the user does not need to understand during
    configuration
  • Help information is required for each entry in
    the MMS configuration as most parameters are not
    self-explanatory

54
Allow for human error
  • Provide error handling to prevent a change of
    setting entries, preventing access to basic
    services
  • If the user is permitted to change the setting
    entries, resetting the terminal to factory
    settings should present the user with a choice of
    whether to keep or reset the current settings for
    terminal and service access
  • Error messages should include information on how
    to correct errors, e.g. in case of server
    unavailability
  • Please control the server setting on your device
    by sending an empty SMS to phone number xxxx.
    Follow the instructions after the receipt of the
    return SMS. If your settings are correct, please
    retry to send your message. If this fails again,
    the server may unavailable. Please retry after 15
    minutes or call xxx for further support

55
Allow access to setup-information during
setup-procedures
  • Access to the main menu of the device should be
    possible during OTA setup procedures
  • The user should have access to device information
    pertinent to setup processes for services
  • Phone model and serial number
  • Username/Password
  • IMEI
  • Software version
  • Possibly Hardware version
  • Subscription details (services subscribed)

56
Use existing standards and guidelines
  • The most recent versions of management protocols
    and mechanisms, as specified in OMA working
    documents and reference specifications (see
    bibliography), with corresponding UI elements,
    are the recommended, generic technical solution
    for configuration for terminal and service access
  • Follow customer/service provider specific
    guidelines
  • Guidelines for changing modalities/ use of
    applicable modalities, see reference 11 in the
    draft EG
  • Setup dialogs are user-machine interactions if
    style guides exist in the environment, use them!
  • Refer to outcome of the Multi-cultural STF, when
    available
  • There should be consistency between device,
    bearer (e.g. MMS), and service (e.g. ticketing)
    setup procedures

57
Design for differing user abilities or know how
  • Multimodal interaction should be used wherever
    possible as a fallback access to a personal
    call-center support is strongly advised
  • Reminders with easy access to a setup-dialog are
    helpful for first-time users of a service.
  • An option to use a large font should be provided.
  • The user preference for detailed or short
    feedback, wizards and other guided procedures
    should be considered (even if setup is automated
    the activities carried out in each automated
    setup may be required by the user).
  • Feedback to the user should be confirmed to the
    user in the preferred way

58
Terminal-specific setup guidelines
  • Provide consistent and coherent categories of
    settings
  • Easy back-up method should be available, and user
    should be encouraged back-up phone data
    frequently.
  • The result of back-up should be confirmed
  • The reason and importance of back-up should be
    explained to the user
  • Simple guidance and support for first back-up
    should be available. Especially problem solving
    for handling data and phone incompatibilities
    should be supported
  • The result of restore should be confirmed.
  • All device internal settings should be preset by
    the device manufacturer (with the option of
    modification by the service provider)

59
Terminal-specific setup guidelines
  • While the initial configuration over a web site
    using a PC may be the preferred option it must be
    possible to initiate a configuration attempt from
    the device itself.
  • The back-up summary/history displayed in the user
    interface should indicate where the backed-up
    data is and exactly what was backed-up (those
    elements that could not be backed-up should be
    shown)
  • The time since the last back-up should be
    available in the user interface
  • Objects that can be backed up, e.g. images/music
    should have last backed-up and location
    information associated with them
  • This could be presented in text form (Date),
    iconic form (location) or by using other display
    characteristics such as colour (to show age)

60
Terminal-specific setup guidelines
  • If a back-up process is interrupted by an
    external event or the user, some indication
    should remain in the user interface that back is
    still in progress or that it has terminated with
    failure
  • Prompts reminding users to back-up should be
    unobtrusive and not interrupt task flow (unless a
    back-up has not been made for a long
    (user/operator defined) time)
  • Instructions on recovery of back-ups should be
    available at time of back-up and should be
    associated with content that may be backed up
    (rather than being in a sync or back-up menu)

61
Terminal-specific setup guidelines
  • If basic back-up setup is not complete on the
    device, the user should be notified as soon as
    possible. In order to complete back-up the user
    should be directed to Web, IVR or human customer
    service agents
  • Users should be prompted to make periodic
    back-ups to network, PC, memory card etc.
  • If approved by the user, the back-up process
    should be automatic based on pre-configuration /
    user configuration
  • The first step in the recovery/setup process
    should be to inform the user if their phone is
    compatible with the backed-up data.
  • In addition, the data elements which can and
    cannot be backed-up should be represented
  • Where possible reasons should be given for those
    elements which cannot be backed-up.

62
Terminal-specific setup guidelines
  • During the back-up process, users should be
    allowed to modify the available locations for
    back-up, e.g. PC, network, external memory card
  • The user should be able to view a back-up history
    and location on their device without being
    connected to the network
  • Labelling of menu items should clearly describe
    their contents (pre-design labelling studies may
    be required for abstract functions such as
    synchronisation/back-up
  • The information that is needed in a lost-phone
    situation should be available easily
  • User should have easy-to-find and easy-to-access
    guidance for actions in a lost-phone situation

63
Terminal-specific setup guidelines
  • Simple guidance and support for first back-up
    should be available
  • Simple guidance and support for restore should be
    available. Especially problem solving for
    handling data and phone incompatibilities should
    be supported
  • The result of restore actions should be
    confirmed.
  • A wireless method for protecting the content of
    lost phone should be available
  • A wireless method for backing-up the content of
    lost phone should be available

64
e-service specific setup guidelines
  • The user should be informed at an appropriate
    level and through appropriate channels of the
    costs connected to the service to be configured
  • Clearly describe the means by which the setting
    entries will be delivered to the terminal, e.g.
    via SMS.
  • For remote configuration via a web site, provide
    a "send" control with instructions to confirm
    that the terminal is switched on
  • No automatic reconfiguration if cost issues are
    relevant
  • A wireless method for protecting the content of a
    lost phone should be available
  • A wireless method for backing-up the content of a
    lost phone should be available

65
e-service specific setup guidelines
  • If a service is not properly configured (e.g.
    missing service provider phone number) the device
    should inform the user or try to reconfigure
    before attempting to access the service (cost
    savings).
  • Each service provider should provide an interface
    through which the user can select OTA
    configuration for all subscribed services
  • Service providers should offer an SMS address
    which can be used to initiate re-configuration
    processes
  • This number should be stored on the SIM
  • The configuration server should be able to handle
    all necessary configuration processes required to
    make a service usable.

66
e-service specific setup guidelines
  • For personal critical information If the
    modification action has not been successful the
    service provider should be informed and action
    should be taken to contact the user
  • The user should be made aware of where their
    personal details are stored and should be able to
    manage these personal details
  • The information provided about new services
    should be complete and accurate
  • When configuring a new service, the dependencies
    on other services should be indicated and
    explained to the user, preferably in a
    personalized way

  • Open discussion on existing guidelines
  • -----------------------
  • Work in groups on three different use cases.
  • Try to identify missing guidelines
  • -----------------------
  • Summary and final discussion (Plenum)
