DEPICT is an innovative phone from which a user can make calls by drawing an image or writing a word on the touch screen. This phone employs an innate interface and easy steps so that natives who are unfamiliar with digital devices can use it hassle-free without having to memorize any phone numbers. The system recognizes the image or the word the user draws and links it to the intended person’s phone number. The user need not keep track of all the phone numbers in mind anymore. This novel paradigm for making calls would be useful especially for natives in the older generation, who may not be familiar with digital devices. DEPICT can as well be used in offices conveniently to make conference phone calls.
