Abstract:
Improving the symbolic, code, and signal arsenal of the modern environment for
constructing, interpreting, saving, manipulating, and exchanging messages is a constantly relevant
scientific and technical problem. The advancement in many areas of human–machine and
machine–machine interfaces development depends on solution of this problem. In this
article,
symbols, codes, and signals are considered as constructive objects for building, storing, and
transmitting messages in a digital environment. A symbol is defined as a substitute for an object,
belonging to a specific set for generating messages according to the specified rules. Each element
of such set is endowed with a set of properties (the same for all elements of the set) which ensures
applicability in a given environment of the forming, transmitting, interpreting, storing,
and
manipulating the messages. The symbols kinds (visual, audio, etc.) and the symbol types inside
each kind have been defined. The code is defined as a substitute for symbol or message that meets
the requirements for solving the basic problems of representing, transforming, recognizing,
constructing, interpreting, exchanging, saving, accumulating, searching, and protecting messages.
The signal is studied as a physically realized code representation designed for recognition and
interpretation by human or hardware (microprocessor, video controller, etc.).
Keywords:
interfaces, messages, symbolic modeling, symbols, symbol kinds, symbol types, codes, signals.
