HomeInformationTerminal for Touch Displays

Have a look at the traffic report or the weather forecast in the morning before you go to work. Information without starting the PC.

The HomeInformationTerminal (HIT) is the information center of your home. Here you can use your Home automation system and control your multi-room audio system (UPnP). It is possible to integrate links to webpages or camera-streams. All this is accessible through a high quality graphical user interface with good ease of use. By using the RSS-Feed extension you have an overview about current News and you can jump to a complete article just with one click. No matter if you use a touch display, a laptop or an ultra mobile PC (UMPC) on the sofa in every case you have a quick survey of all the information you need

You can create simple menu items or submenus for the navigation bar. Every item can be customized in the look and assigned to many functions. It is possible to create your own and individual information central.

The HomeInformationTerminal uses the technology of  the installed internet browser. So you can integrate all the websites wich are using modern web-technologies like Flash, JavaScript, Ajax etc. The eibPort visualization as well as our multimedia solution is integrated natively. This means you have no delay or refresh time when switching between different pages.

The HomeInformationTerminal is configured in a  very intuitiv but powerful What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get editor.

The navigation bar can be completely configured to fit your demands. Starting with the position of the navigation bar, the font style, the color shema and the selection of the images. Everything can be changed within a few mouse clicks and a very short time.

In the next part  you configure the content of the navigation bar. The ease of use is most important here, too.  A new navigation item can be created in three steps:

· You create a new item and choose the title as well as the icon

· Select the type of the content (web link / eibPort visualization etc)

· Configure the specific data, e.g. the IP address of the eibPort or the URL of the website

Within 10 minutes you have an appealing and  comprehensive navigation for your HomeInformationTerminal.
