About Intelligent Invoertoepassing

Intelligent is een invoermethode-applicatie voor smartphones, tablets en computers. Intelligent combineert verschillende kunstmatige-intelligentietechnologieën en werkt op Android, iOS, MacOS en Windows. Gezichtsherkenning identificeert de gebruiker en biedt een bijpassende modus, zoals een modus voor ouderen die handschrift ondersteunt, en een spraakassistent voor zeldzame woorden. Gebarenherkenning maakt het mogelijk om in de lucht te schrijven, zodat tekst kan worden ingevoerd zonder het scherm aan te raken. Het doel is om communicatie eenvoudiger te maken voor groepen die drempels ervaren bij typen en expressie.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Integrating multiple AI technologies, this intelligent input method can be applied in multiple intelligent terminals. By switching among the multiple modes targeting different populations, it meets the input demands of different target user groups, provides more intelligent assistance and services, and brings users smoother communication experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: Universally applicable to all models including Android, iOS, MacOS and Windows and all sizes.
Tags: Intelligent input, artificial intelligence (AI), user experience (UX), user interface design, expression assistance, elderly input, touchless input
Production Technology: This app is universally applicable to Android, iOS, MacOS and Windows. Consistent experience is provided for different terminals relying on multiple AI technologies.
Design Challenge: As our design targets special populations, we should consider their difficulties in input by putting ourselves in their position, including practical operation problems and psychological barriers. Therefore, we have our solution proved by more target users, thus to truly solve their input barrier and bring them more confidence and warmth.
Research: This scheme is designed according to the current situation and trend of vulnerable groups in China and authoritative data research conclusions. We have discovered the common demands of vulnerable groups in software input. In addition, we have conducted user questionnaire and interview for each user group, to further understand and demonstrate their input characteristics and provide more suitable solutions.
Inspiration: Communication and expression constitute the most common way of human exchange. Four populations (the elderly, deaf-mute, people with expression disorder and people demanding touchless input and communication during the pandemic) cannot engage in efficient communication. This design aims to solve their difficulties in input and communication depending on AI, bring them more confidence and warmth, and enable smooth communication and equality for all.
Project Duration: Initiated in November 2019, with handwriting in the air released in May 2020, the intelligent input for the elderly launched in April 2021, and other functions expected to come out in succession.
The development team is now based in Beijing.
Operation Flow: This design identifies users’ demands through face recognition, provides corresponding modes, assists in users’ efficient and accurate expression, and makes people’s communication easier. For example, it identifies the elderly through AI face recognition, offers the elderly mode, and helps the elderly input rare words in handwriting with the voice assistant; or enables handwriting in the air through gesture recognition, and guarantees users’ safety as users can input without touching the screen.
