scope:

The present document aims at simplifying end-user access to information and communication services from mobile telecommunication terminals. It does not restrict the ability of market players to further improve and develop their terminals and services, nor does it limit their options to trademark user interface elements or profile the user experience of brand-specific user interface implementations as a competitive edge.

The present document is applicable to public and private (licensed and unlicensed) mobile telecommunication networks, terminals, services and applications.

The present document addresses key issues from the end user's perspective, providing guidance on proposed generic user interface elements for basic and advanced mobile terminals, services and certain aspects of application handling. The aim is to provide simplified access to basic and selected advanced functions of mobile communication. User requirements and available results of standardization work have been considered and integrated in the present document, providing implementation-oriented guidance. Wherever possible, a Design-for-All approach has been adopted, taking special needs of children, elderly users and users with physical or sensory disabilities into account.
