Assignment 2


a)      In your opinion, which type of interface and interaction types are the most suitable for kids, and give explanation why you think so. (3m)

·         Information Visualizer – To make it more attarctive
·         Tangible – To make it very easy to use and convenient
·         Speech Recognition – To guide the user how to use the atm machine. User friendly

b)      Sketch the interface designs for the ATM with your chosen interface type. All of these functions must be included in the user interface, but they do not all need to be included in one sketch. Make sure it is clear in your sketches showing its main functionality and how the user use the interface to execute the functions. Describe the scenario of how the ATM Machine would be operated using your chosen interfaces? (10m)

·         Firstly, user enter the atm capsule. Just only one person can enter in the atm capsule
·         Then user will insert atm card and then automatically the door will closed/lock for security
·         User will insert the pin No. The operator/sound will guide user and then user need to choose the language first before proceed the next phase
·         After then, atm screen will show various of transaction type like Withdrawal money, Balance Enquiry, Deposit
·         If user choose the withdrawal money, the atm screen will show a few option for user to withdraw money. A few option will show like RM1, RM5, RM10 and RM15 only. User only can withdraw with the following amount only
·         Withdrawal up to RM15, limit of once a day only
·         User will choose the amount and then the atm card will comes first follow by money. The money will comes from the cash dispenser. User need to take the money before 60 second
·         After user take the money and card then the door will automatically unlock. If user did not take the money and card, the door will remain unlock. This is because to secure user safety
·         If someone or stranger approach the user, user can just press the emergency button and then the door will automatically lock/closed for protect the user


 








c)      Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of your design. (5m)

Advantages

·         Customize ATM interface
                    I.            Multiple touch-screen displays on the ATM use vibrant colour and video capability to deliver messages based on how the kids is engaging with the ATM using information visualization. The main purpose of this scenario is to provide graphical interface to the kids for them to perform the action themselves and provide a better user experience.

·         Interactive and User Friendly
                  II.            The ATM enables kids to perform financial transactions like cash withdrawal or check balances with the help of the machine and without any intervention from the parents or others. A speech recognition system is developed for ATMs for performing financial transactions. Since speech is the most natural and easiest mode of communication, communication between the kids and the ATM can be performed easily through speech. This allows ATM machines to communicate with the kids using the stored speech samples. By using information visualization, the kids can get an idea on how to perform task for example on how to withdrawing money and then interpret the actions, so that they can easily integrate themselves into the current environment.

·         Implementation of Advanced Security Controls
                III.            Kids can enjoy greater peace of mind using ATs with security features built into this ATM. Banks have long protected ATM with surveillance cameras, but in today’s world, threats from strangers are invisible. In order to eradicate these types of deficiencies, alarms and sensors will detect physical attacks on the ATM. Kids are safe inside the ATM until they finish collecting their cash. The ATM will be open once the transactions are completed by simply extending the length of the ATM door to be open until the kids are totally ready to get out until their ATM cards and their money are safely kept in the pocket.


Disadvantages

·         Chances of Get Trapped inside the ATM is high
                    I.            On many occasions sometimes user forget their passwords. Forgetting passwords sometimes create a problem of not performing a required transaction and inputting wrong password will likely lead to locking of the card. Forgetfulness of ATM cards at the point of transaction will always yield no transactions and negative results. In this case, the ATM will lock both the door and card of the kids for a length of time. The number of wrong input of password is limited. This is because any other person who knows a common password of another can easily use the kid’s ATM card. The chance for the kid’s to trap inside is very high if they really do not remember their ATM password. They will need to wait for the security or person in charge to take care of the matters and might take some time to ensure the security.

·         Upfront costs
                  II.            The investment in ATM and possibly additional hardware might be required to make the information visualization and speech recognition possible.  Implementing and managing a visualized environment will require IT staff with expertise in visualization. There are maybe some applications that do not adapt well to the visualized environment.

d)      Decide where is the ATM machine will be located and why do you think so? (2m)

·         We decide to locate the ATM machine for kids at playground and mall (public places). We think these two places are very suitable to locate the ATM machine. If we locate the ATM machine at playground kids can withdraw their money during their playtime. Other than that, if we locate at mall, kids can withdraw their money if they want to buy something like toys, sweet and other. Therefore, kids can buy anything that they want without asking money from their parent. Besides that, if we put the ATM machine at public place, it can secure kids safety when withdrawing money because at public place everyone can see when they withdraw the money. It also can avoid from undesirable things like robbery, theft and other things.
