This telephone was produced by Canadian telecommunications giant Northern Telecom and developed by Bell Northern Research (BNR). Meridian was a line of Northern Telecom digital office products launched in February 1985. The M3000 was designed to work with Northern Telecom’s Meridian SL-1 Integrated Services Network, which could integrate communication services (including voice, text, and email messages) and connectivity between computing environments for 30 to 5000 subscriber lines. BNR scientists turned to touchscreen technology to ensure the M3000 could effectively help its users understand and operate the features available in modern communication systems. Ce téléphone a été produit par Northern Telecom et développer par Bell Northern Research (BNR). Meridian était un produit de bureau lancé en février de 1985. Le M3000 a été conçu pour le réseau Intégré Meridian SL-1. Ce réseau pouvait intégrer les services comme les courriels, texte et voix et les connecter au travers des environnements informatiques pour 30 à 500 lignes d'abonnées. Les scientifiques au BNR ont adopté la technologie des écrans tactiles pour s'assurer que le M3000 pouvait effectivement aider les utilisateurs comment comprendre et opérer les nouvelles fonctions disponibles avec les systèmes de communications modernes.
Function
Used to send and receive telephone signals and to connect to an internal communication system that offered other methods of communication. Utiliser pour envoyer et recevoir des signaux téléphoniques et pour se brancher à un système de communication interne qui pouvait offrir d'autres méthodes de communications plus exclusives.
Technical
Introduced in 1985, the M3000 used technology long before it became commonplace. This may be the first example of touchscreen technology in a production telephone. The telephone includes many features that later became customary on smartphones. The M3000 touchscreen uses two pressure-sensitive membranes placed over a liquid crystal display LCD. Each membrane contains transparent metallic strips. When users touch the screen, the metal strips come in contract with each other, generating messages that are sent to the touch panel processor. To minimize costs, BNR scientists designed the display layout with graphics in the dynamic central portion, complemented by discrete icons with “fixed” buttons down the sides Introduit en 1985 le M3000 utilisait une technologie bien avancer pour son temps. Il peut probablement être considéré comme le premier exemple de la technologie a écran tactile utiliser dans la production téléphonique. Le téléphone inclut des options qui plus tard sont devenus communs pour des téléphones intelligents. Le M3000 écran tactile utilise deux membranes sensibles à la pression qui sont placées dessus un affichage des cristaux liquide LCD. Chaque membrane contient des bandes métalliques qui sont transparentes. Quand un utilisateur interagit avec l'écran les bandes métalliques se touchent et génère des messages qui sont envoyés au processeur d'écran tactile. Pour minimiser les frais de production les scientifiques au BNR ont conçu l'affichage avec des graphiques dans la portion centrale et des icones fixés avec des boutons pour y accéder le long de l'objet.
