    Complexity of the user interface increases and it becomes more difficult to use those consumer electronics, as the number of their functions increases. The proposed push-based interface makes user's interactions very simple. The user interface makes it possible to complete a complex task by just selecting the near result or the representative of task presentative of task presented by the system. We explain the concept of push-based user interface and its applications for consumer electronics.

    We examined the operating characteristics of key-type, trackball-type and gyroscope-type pointing devices for television operation. First, we examined whether the operating characteristics of the three types of pointing device depended on the viewing distance. The results showed that the operating characteristics of any three pointing devices did not depend on it. Next, we compared the three types of pointing with regard to characteristic at the optimum gain, the relationship between optimum gain and movement distance of cursor, and Fitts'law. In each case, the results suggested that the gyroscope type was the easiest of the three to operate.

    Clicking graphical objects such as icons and menus is the most frequent operating method in the Windows environment. This method is, However, very difficult for people who are blind. Thus, we have developed screen reader software that works on the basis of keyboard operation and speech output in order to give blind persons access to Windows. This paper first gives a brief description of the development, functions and prevalence of the screen reader. Secondly the user survey of Windows screen readers conducted in 2000 is described. Finally the necessity of R&D for blind persons' access to information devices other than PC s is mentioned.
