Computer science algorithms can be used to improve user interfaces. Using data structures as a source of design ideas, a new interface was constructed for a cellular telephone handset. Once implemented, a user experiment was conducted which showed that predicted improvements in usability were confirmed with real users doing realistic tasks. Motivation Around eighty percent of cellular telephone users only use their handsets to receive calls and make calls dialled directly on the keypad [1]
