q1 2 marks

is it possible to run an application in the private memory space of another application?
Ans:
No, Application can neither run into the private memory space of another app, nor be run into by another application .Different types of memory (e.g. main, cache) in the system must be used properly, so that each app can run most effectively .


q2 marks 2

how animation of images is easy through javascript?
Ans:
Images in JavaScript can be manipulated in many ways using the built-in object,
Image.Properties: name, border, complete, height, width, hspace, vspace, lowsrc, src
• Methods: None
• Event handlers: onAbort, onError, onLoad, etc.
These all easy statements and command helps in javascript to animate any image .


q4 marks 2
each of javascript method has different functionality. Discuss the functionality of tostring() method.
Ans:
The ‘toString’ Method assigns Explicit conversion to a string
EXAMPLE:
Convert 100.553478 into a currency format
a = 100.553478 ;
b = a.toString( ) ;
decimalPos = b.indexOf( ".", 0 ) ;
c = b.substring( 0, decimalPos + 3 ) ;
document.write( c ) ;




q5 marks 3

how can we reduce the heat effect for processor?
Ans:
A component designed to lower the temperature of an electronic device by dissipating heat into the surrounding air. All modern CPUs require a heat sink. Some also require a fan. A heat sink without a fan is called a passive heat sink; a heat sink with a fan is called an active heat sink.

“Most users are neither beginners nor experts; instead they are intermediates”
What are the pointing devices? Explain trackball as pointing device? [2+3]
Answer:-
According to the statement pointing devices will help for the beginner user because we can use to deal easily with requirement. Pointing devies are input devices that can be used to specify a point or path in a one-, Two- or three- dimensional space and, like keyboards, their characteristics have to be considering in relation to design needs.
Pointing devices are as follow:
• Mouse
• Touch pad
• Track ball
• Joystick
• Touch screen
• Eye gaze
Trackballs is other alternatives. The user is presented with a cursor on the screen that is controlled by the input device.
REF:: handouts Page No. 64, 115

Qno.5 Consider the vertical scroll bar of a web browser or word processor. For each of Norman’s five principles below, give one way that the scrollbar uses the principle for effective design. Describe the interface model of the scroll bar in one sentence.
[2*5]
Affordance:
Constraints:
Mapping:
Visibility:
Feedback:

Answer:-
As consider the vertical scroll bar of a web browser or word processor. According to the Norman’s principles we design the scrollbar uses the principle for effective design that users should see and do when carrying out their tasks using an interactive product. Here we briefly describe which is given:-

Affordance is a term used to refer to an attribute of an object that allows people to know How to use it.
For example, a mouse button invites pushing by the way it is physically constrained in its plastic shell. At a very simple level, to afford means “to give a clue.” When the affordances of a physical object are perceptually obvious it is easy to know how to interact with it

Constraints:
The design concept of constraining refers to determining ways of restricting the kind of user interaction that can take place at a given moment. There are various ways this can be achieved. An Interface design in graphical user interfaces is to deactivate certain menu options by shading them, thereby restricting the user to only actions permissible at that stage of the activity.
• Physical constraints
Physical constraints refer to the way physical objects restrict the movement of things.

• Logical constraints
Logical constraints rely on people’s understanding of the way the world works
• Culture constraints
Culture constraints rely on learned conventions, like the use of red for warning, the use of certain kinds of signals for danger, and the use of the smiley face to represent happy emotions

Mapping:
This refers to the relationship between controls and their effects in the world. Nearly all artifacts need some kind of mapping between controls and effects, whether it is a flashlight, car, power plant, or cockpit. An example of a good mapping between controls is effect is the up and down arrows used to represent the up and down movement of the cursor, respectively, on a computer keyboard.

Visibility:
The more visible functions are, the more likely users will be able to know what to do next. In contrast, when functions are “out of sight,” it makes them more difficult to fid and knows how to use. Norman describes the controls of a car to emphasize this point. The controls for different operations are clearly visible (e.g., indicator, headlights, horn, hazard warning lights), indicating what can be done.

Feedback
Related to the concept of visibility is feedback. This is best illustrated by an analogy to what everyday life would be like without it. Imagine trying to play a guitar, slice bread using knife, or write a pen if none of the actions produced any effect for several seconds. There would be an unbearable delay before the music was produced, the bread was cut, or the words appeared on the paper, making it almost impossible for the person to continue with the next strum, saw, or stroke.
Feedback is about sending back information about what action has been done and what has been accomplished, allowing the person to continue with the activity. Various kinds of feedback are available for interaction design—audio, tactile, verbal, visual, and combinations of these.
REF:: handouts Page No. 104 -108

Qno.6 As a product designer what you need to do for constructing personas. Write all steps
Answer:-
Being a product designer we use to do constructing personas steps:-
1. Revisit the persona hypothesis
2. Map interview subjects to behavioral variables
3. Identify significant behavior patterns
4. Synthesize characteristics and relevant goals.
5. Check for completeness.
6. Develop narratives
7. Designate persona types
REF:: handouts Page No. 14

Qno.6 you are product designer. You are making plan to introduce a shampoo. Just one type of shampoo for every user. Is this plan good or not. Answer yes or no, and support your answer.

No! it is not a good plan and being product designer, we are making plan to introduce a shampoo for every one, It also includes performance things like how well it cleans, what the foam looks and feels like and how irritating it will be. Often consumer testing is employed to help with determining these characteristics.

The basic ingredient in a shampoo formulation is as follows for the betterment of gathering market.
Water. It helps dilute the detergents, makes the formula easier to spread and reduces irritation. It also keeps the formula inexpensive




Detergents. The next most abundant ingredients in a shampoo. These surfactants are the primary cleansing ingredients and make up about 10% – 15% of the formula.
Foam Boosters. Other types of surfactants are added to shampoos to improve the foaming characteristics of the formulation. These compounds usually botanies or alkanolamides, help increase the amount of foam and the size of the bubbles.

Thickeners. To some extent the secondary detergents make shampoo formulations thicker. Simply adding salt can also increase shampoo thickness.

Conditioning agents. Some materials are added to shampoos to offset the harsh effect of surfactants. Typical conditioning agents include polymers, silicones, and quaternary agents

Preservatives. Any formula that contains water holds the potential to be contaminated by bacteria and other microbes.

According the statement user should change occasionally if we don't get the build up of just one shampoo to another variety of shampoo


Qno.6 Norman model focus on which principal of HCI?
Answer.
MENTAL MODEL
REF:: handouts Page No. 63

Qno.7 briefly explain physical constraints: 02 Marks
answer.
Physical constraints refer to the way physical objects restrict the movement of things.
For example, the way external disk can be placed into a disk drive is physically constrained by its shape and size, so that it can be inserted in only one way. Likewise, keys on a pad can usually be pressed in only one way.
REF:: handouts Page No. 106

Qno.8 what user-centered approach means 02 Marks
Answer.
The user-centered approach means that the real users and their goals, not just technology, should be the driving force behind development of a product.
REF:: handouts Page No. 172

Qno.9 usefulness of metaphor 03 Marks
Answer.
There are several dimensions along which the usefulness of a metaphor can be evaluated. A good metaphor, for example, might help the developers understand and agree on the functionality of the system they are designing.
REF:: http://reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu/an...03-100.pdf
Qno.10 which includes in research phase of goal-directed design model 03 marks
Answer.
Goal-directed approach to design is the premise that product must balance business and engineering concerns with user concerns. You begin by asking, “What do people desire?” then you ask, “of the things people desire, what will sustain a business.” And finally you ask, “Of the things people desire, that will also sustain the business, what can we build?” a common trap is to focus on technology while losing the sight of viability and desirability.

Qno.5 Consider the vertical scroll bar of a web browser or word processor. For each of Norman’s five principles below, give one way that the scrollbar uses the principle for effective design. Describe the interface model of the scroll bar in one sentence.
[2*5]
Affordance:
Constraints:
Mapping:
Visibility:
Feedback:

Answer:-
As consider the vertical scroll bar of a web browser or word processor. According to the Norman’s principles we design the scrollbar uses the principle for effective design that users should see and do when carrying out their tasks using an interactive product. Here we briefly describe which is given:-

Affordance is a term used to refer to an attribute of an object that allows people to know How to use it.
For example, a mouse button invites pushing by the way it is physically constrained in its plastic shell. At a very simple level, to afford means “to give a clue.” When the affordances of a physical object are perceptually obvious it is easy to know how to interact with it

Constraints:
The design concept of constraining refers to determining ways of restricting the kind of user interaction that can take place at a given moment. There are various ways this can be achieved. An Interface design in graphical user interfaces is to deactivate certain menu options by shading them, thereby restricting the user to only actions permissible at that stage of the activity.
• Physical constraints
Physical constraints refer to the way physical objects restrict the movement of things.

• Logical constraints
Logical constraints rely on people’s understanding of the way the world works
• Culture constraints
Culture constraints rely on learned conventions, like the use of red for warning, the use of certain kinds of signals for danger, and the use of the smiley face to represent happy emotions

Mapping:
This refers to the relationship between controls and their effects in the world. Nearly all artifacts need some kind of mapping between controls and effects, whether it is a flashlight, car, power plant, or cockpit. An example of a good mapping between controls is effect is the up and down arrows used to represent the up and down movement of the cursor, respectively, on a computer keyboard.

Visibility:
The more visible functions are, the more likely users will be able to know what to do next. In contrast, when functions are “out of sight,” it makes them more difficult to fid and knows how to use. Norman describes the controls of a car to emphasize this point. The controls for different operations are clearly visible (e.g., indicator, headlights, horn, hazard warning lights), indicating what can be done.

Feedback
Related to the concept of visibility is feedback. This is best illustrated by an analogy to what everyday life would be like without it. Imagine trying to play a guitar, slice bread using knife, or write a pen if none of the actions produced any effect for several seconds. There would be an unbearable delay before the music was produced, the bread was cut, or the words appeared on the paper, making it almost impossible for the person to continue with the next strum, saw, or stroke.
Feedback is about sending back information about what action has been done and what has been accomplished, allowing the person to continue with the activity. Various kinds of feedback are available for interaction design—audio, tactile, verbal, visual, and combinations of these.

3. Identify significant behavior patterns
4. Synthesize characteristics and relevant goals.
5. Check for completeness.
6. Develop narratives

Qno.6 you are product designer. You are making plan to introduce a shampoo. Just one type of shampoo for every user. Is this plan good or not. Answer yes or no, and support your answer.

No! it is not a good plan and being product designer, we are making plan to introduce a shampoo for every one, It also includes performance things like how well it cleans, what the foam looks and feels like and how irritating it will be. Often consumer testing is employed to help with determining these characteristics.

The basic ingredient in a shampoo formulation is as follows for the betterment of gathering market.
Water. It helps dilute the detergents, makes the formula easier to spread and reduces irritation. It also keeps the formula inexpensive




Detergents. The next most abundant ingredients in a shampoo. These surfactants are the primary cleansing ingredients and make up about 10% – 15% of the formula.
Foam Boosters. Other types of surfactants are added to shampoos to improve the foaming characteristics of the formulation. These compounds usually botanies or alkanolamides, help increase the amount of foam and the size of the bubbles.

Thickeners. To some extent the secondary detergents make shampoo formulations thicker. Simply adding salt can also increase shampoo thickness.

Conditioning agents. Some materials are added to shampoos to offset the harsh effect of surfactants. Typical conditioning agents include polymers, silicones, and quaternary agents

Preservatives. Any formula that contains water holds the potential to be contaminated by bacteria and other microbes.

According the statement user should change occasionally if we don't get the build up of just one shampoo to another variety of shampoo

‘Getting good grades’ is the aim of every student. Here are some guidelines, and good grades can be assured if you follow them.
Preparing the Lectures:
ü The most important thing in semester system is regularity – so be regular in studies and prepare lectures daily (as per lecture schedule). Working on daily basis is the key to success in semester system.
ü Before watching a lecture, read its handouts and try to understand its contents.
ü Watching the video lecture is a must. Also, take notes while watching the lecture.
ü After watching the lecture, do study your recommended text book and other reference material and prepare your own notes (for your reference and revision).
ü Do spend at least 2 hours on a lecture to have a better understanding by utilizing –
§ half an hour for reading lecture handouts
§ one hour for watching video lecture
§ half an hour for preparation of notes
ü You are advised to learn and understand the concepts as discussed in lecture. Do not just memorize them; rather you should be able to explain them in your own words and to apply them in real life situations.
Quizzes, Assignments and GDBs:
ü Do visit your LMS on daily basis and check announcements for upcoming activities.
ü Regularity in preparing lectures will not bother you in quizzes, assignments, GDBs and other activities.
ü Try to attempt the quizzes (when announced) as early as possible because you may face users’ load on the server on last/due date.
ü Assignments and GDBs are given for the enhancement of your knowledge. Copying their solutions from different websites is not only an unethical practice but also a major reason why you get Zero marks.
Examination:
ü In exams, always write “to-the-point” answer for every question (and explain it as per requirements and marks of the question). “Time management” is more important than writing long unnecessary details.
