ISO IEC 18021 pdf download Information technology — User interfaces for mobile tools for management of database communications in a client-server model
1 Scope
This International Standard defines user interface functions for management of database communication of an MBT client capable of interchanging data with an MBT server.
This International Standard is applicable to MBT clients.
This International Standard specifically defines the following two user interfaces.
The user interface function for obtaining user approval in advance when MBT client’s database is updated via a communication link, or when data in the MBT client’s database is transmitted to another database.
The user interface function for providing feedback to the user, after the MBT client’s or the MBT server’s database has been updated via a communication link, or data in MBT client’s database has been transmitted to another database.
2 Conformance
A system conforms to this International Standard if it provides the screen contents described in sub clause 5.2 before the MBT database operation is executed and the contents described in sub clause 5.3 or sub clause 5.4 after the MBT database operation has been executed.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
feedback to the user (failure)
function of the user interface that displays information about an MBT database operation if and when the MBT database operation fails to execute
3.2
feedback to the user (success)
function of the user interface that displays information about an MBT database operation after the MBT database operation is successful
3.3
consistent area
non-scrollable information area that is provided in a section of the MBT’s screen
3.4
MoBile Tool, MBT
mobile communications device with a small display screen and a database intended to interchange data with other devices / a server
Note: The screen size is typically between those of personal computers and mobile telephone devices.
3.5
MoBile Tool client, MBT client
software for MBT, which operates under user instruction as a client in a communication link with other devices
3.6
MoBile Tool database operation, MBT database operation
database operation executed by the MBT server application,
Note: Database operation includes the processes of adding, modifying, removing and reading data. Updating of database includes the processes of adding, modifying and removing data, but it doesn’t include the process of reading data.
3.7
MoBile Tool database operation parameter, MBT database operation parameter
parameter used by the MBT server application to execute the MBT database operation
Example: When the user operates the schedule book, he specifies year, month, day and time as parameters; when he operates the address book, he specifies name, address, telephone number and E-mail address, and when he operates the inventory database, he specifies product code, customer name and number of stock.
