Description
Summary:This report describes an electronic shopping assistant specialized in toys. The shopping assistant features two distinct user interfaces. One interface is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that fully uses the relatively high bandwidth of the Internet connection, allowing for high resolution and high colour content graphics. The GUI interface offers the full functionality of the shopping assistant. The other interface is a low-bandwidth voice user interface (VUI), offering a reduced set of features and allowing an easy and quick access to pre-selected list of toys for people on the move. The VUI is geared specifically towards mobile use, i.e. for users calling from cell phones.
