U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
Beneath the standard applications delivered by the default operating system (for example gallery, music
player,…), the following applications are installed:
-Google Play Store (previously known as Android Market)
-U.motion Access
-U.motion Control
-U.motion Communication
The single applications are explained more in details in the following chapters.
Compared to traditional Android systems with version 2.3.4, the customized version offers a navigation bar at
the bottom of the display (similar to the bar of Android 4.x), which should simplify and fasten the navigation
on the device. Find below a screenshot of the navigation bar:
The 3 keys within the navigation bar are (from left to right):
-BACK
-HOME
-MENU
The BACK key in its functionality –depending on the active app –permits to return on the previously shown
page or to close the corresponding app.
The HOME key has the same functionality as the hardware HOME button and brings you back to the first
page of U.motion Access. The previously active app in this moment is brought to the background and
continues running (the HOME button / key do NOT terminate running apps).
If the HOME key is pressed some longer time, a pop-up window showing the recently opened apps will
appear. This allows a quick switching between different applications.
The MENU key functionality depends on the currently shown app and –if available –shows additional menu
and configuration options. The following screenshot shows an example of such a menu:
Furthermore, also the MENU key supports long-clicking: in this case it will show another pop-up window
which permits to turn off or reboot U.motion Client Touch 7:

CAUTION: Please ALWAYS use this menu in order to shutdown U.motion Client Touch 7. An
abrupt removal of the power supply can interrupt running processes and cause the
dysfunction of different apps.
C1 Hardware interfaces:
As already seen in chapter A2, U.motion Client Touch 7 offers different kinds of interfaces as well on the rear
as on the front side. All interfaces are integrated and functional on Android level and can be accessed from
custom applications through corresponding libraries. The following list shows the interfaces currently used,
as well as the interfaces currently free and therefore usable in custom apps:
Front side:
-Microphone Among others used by the U.motion Communication app
-USB-OTG Works as well as USB host as also as USB device, which means that either
USB-HID devices (like USB keyboards, USB mice etc.) can be connected or
U.motion Client Touch 7 can be used as mass storage on a PC.
-microSD card slot Through the settings of U.motion Access connected microSD cards
can be mounted / unmounted

Technical Manual
C2 Google Play Store:
At delivery, U.motion Client Touch 7 already contains the Play Store of Google, which can be used to obtain
numerous apps of different manufacturers. This „door“ to the Android world gives you the possibility to
customize U.motion Client Touch 7 exactly according to your wishes and to download different kinds of
applications to your device. Details on the first steps with the Google Play Store can be found on the
following web page:
http://support.google.com/googleplay/?hl=en
Notes regarding the use of the Play Store on U.motion Client Touch 7:
1. The Play Store requires an active internet connection. If U.motion Client Touch 7 is used without
internet access, The Play Store is either automatically hidden or shows a corresponding warning
message.
2. In order to be able to use the Play Store, you have to check that your U.motion Client Touch 7 shows
the correct date and time settings. If these settings are not correct, the Play Store can not connect to
its servers and will show no contents. The time/date settings can be configured through the settings
page of U.motion Access.
3. In case no app download should be possible, please empty the cache of the Play Store through the
settings of U.motion Access (Manage Applications –All –Google Play Store).
4. Please take care that you will not be able to install all apps on the Play Store on U.motion Client
Touch 7. The Play Store is filtering apps according to certain criteria (for example display size,
permissions, additional functions like gravity sensor, GPS, phone etc.). If a device doesn’t support a
required criterion, the app will not be shown on Play Store. So if you shouldn’t be able to see an app
on U.motion Client Touch 7 that on your smartphone is visualised normally, it could be that U.motion
Client Touch 7 doesn’t fulfill one of the criteria required by the app to be launched correctly. In this
case you can try to get in contact with the manufacturer of the app in order to understand the
missing criteria and eventually find a solution for being able to run the app on U.motion Client Touch
7.
Caution!
The Play Store can only be used with a valid Google-Account. If needed, this account can be created
directly on U.motion Client Touch 7 using the wizard within the Play Store. Please note that in
Android the first account created on a device is used as default account and can only be deleted by
executing a FACTORY RESET of Android itself (please check out chapter C6). Further accounts can
be created and deleted without any problems; only the default account requires a factory reset of
the device and therefore is connected to the loss of all previously configured data!

Technical Manual
C3 U.motion Access:
The U.motion Access app is the main app of U.motion Client Touch 7 and is a so-called launcher app.
Launcher apps in the Android world generally determine start screens or graphical interfaces that hide the
original menu of Android. In this way the user should not be overwhelmed by the open architecture of
Android, but should be able to focus on the most important functionalities.
Exactly this concept is followed also by the U.motion Access app, which shows a simple grid of 6 fields that
permit a quick access to the most important functions / apps. Naturally it is possible to create more than one
launcher page, with the possibility to change between them using a swipe gesture. Furthermore U.motion
Access offers also a series of settings which should make easier the configuration of U.motion Client Touch 7.
After the first start of U.motion Client Touch 7, U.motion Access will present the following start screen:
The welcome message, as displayed also within the message itself, will be shown as long as the default
password that protects the access to the settings page (0000) isn’t changed. By confirming the message you
will see the first page of the launcher, which is already preconfigured:
Control : Launches the app U.motion Control
Communication: Launches the app U.motion Communication
At delivery all other fields are empty. A simple click on an empty / not connected field shows an info message
that the field must first be connected to an app via long-click-function before it can be used. If therefore a
long click is executed on one of the fields, a list of the apps present in the device will be shown, which gives
the possibility to select the desired app and connect it to the field. The selected app in the connection will be
shown at the corresponding position in the launcher. Naturally the long click can be executed also on already
connected fields in order to remove the connected app or to connect a different app.

-13-
U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
As visible also in the screenshot above, the first 2 fields use customized icons. Other fields will simply show
the icon of the connected app. If also the first 2 fields should show the original icons instead of the
customized ones, this can be simply acquired by changing the corresponding parameters in the settings
page of the launcher.
The settings page is accessed by clicking on the logo in the upper bar of the launcher. If the password
protection is active, you will have to insert a password before (like 0000 at first access).
The configuration page offers the settings shown in the screenshot below; in this window it is possible to
scroll vertically in order to access all of the settings:
The following pages will explain the different configuration possibilities. The first to entries simply redirect to
standard Android settings and allow to change the language of the U.motion Client Touch 7 and to set the
date and time correctly:

-14-
U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
U.motion Client Touch 7 offers all the languages contained in the Android repertoire. Nevertheless, the
U.motion applications are currently limited to the languages German, Italian and English. If another language
is selected, those applications will be shown in English.
The date and time settings can be configured as well manually as also automatically via network and are
necessary if you want to use the Play Store. It is recommended to use the manual configuration, since
Android limits the synchronization on mobile networks not present on U.motion Client Touch 7.
The next entry deals with the network settings of U.motion Client Touch 7:
U.motion Client Touch 7 supports as well the use of a static IP address as also the usage of DHCP. Depending
on your network, these parameters must be configured correctly in order to connect U.motion Client Touch 7
with your network and also with the internet (check out the screenshot in the middle, which shows the
configuration menu for the LAN port). If you are unsure about the correct configuration, please refer to your
network administrator.
This menu also shows the current IP address of the U.motion Client Touch 7.
Note: When the connection has been established correctly, in the upper right corner of this
configuration page a green symbol showing 2 PCs will be shown. Only when this symbol is active,
the U.motion Client Touch 7 is correctly connected to your network.
The next 2 settings refer to the control of the RGB-LED of the U.motion Client Touch 7. The first option
permits to use the blue LED as orientation LED. When the checkbox is enabled, the LED will be continuously
on and can be seen as operating LED or as orientation LED by night.
The second option instead handles the control of the red LED and uses it to signal the current network state.
If U.motion Client Touch 7 is not connected to a network and the checkbox of this option is enabled, the red
LED will be turned on. As soon as the device connects to the network, the LED will turn off. Therefore, the
option „Network-Check LED“ acts in the same way as the symbol of the network connection described in the
note above. Naturally, by disabling the corresponding checkbox, also this functionality can be disabled.

-15-
U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
Note: At delivery both LED functionalities are disabled in the settings, since the RGB-LED is
covered by the design element and the LED states are only for debug purposes.
The next entry permits to change the design of the U.motion Access. The launcher offers 4 designs /
orientations:
-Black Portrait - White Portrait
-Black Landscape - White Landscape
At delivery, the design will already be set according to the order information, through this popup window it
will be possible to change it also in a second moment.
The following screenshot shows an example of the launcher with the design „Black Landscape“:
The following to entries of the configuration window allow a further customization of the launcher:

-16-
U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
The „Icon Management“, as already mentioned before in this manual, permits to show / hide the customized
icons of the first 2 fields of the first page of the launcher.
The entry „Set Page Amount“ instead allows the definition of the maximum amount of launcher pages. When
using maximum configuration (5 pages), it will be possible to connect 30 apps to the U.motion Access. If only
1 page is selected, the launcher becomes a static page and the swipe gesture to change between pages will
be disabled.
The next 3 settings are useful to protect the launcher from unwanted changes. The checkbox „LongClick-
Function“ can be used to disable the corresponding function within the launcher; in this way, no new apps
can be connected to the fields of the launcher pages. This means that the final user will not be able to
customize the launcher, but will only be able to access the apps previously connected by the system
integrator.
The checkbox “Show description on empty buttons” instead permits to hide or show the text “No app
assigned” on empty buttons
The entry „Password Protection“ can be used to protect the current settings page; when clicking on the logo
in U.motion access, a password dialog will be shown and the settings page will only be accessible when the
correct password is inserted. At delivery, this password is set to 0000 and –as mentioned in the welcome
screen –must be changed. If this field is left empty, the access to the settings will be unprotected.
The next section deals with the display management of U.motion Client Touch 7:

-17-
U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
The entry „Power Management“ through a popup window will give you the possibility to select between one
of the following options::
-The option „Display always on“ keeps the display constantly on maximum brightness and disables all
kind of power saving options.
-The option „Dim“ will set the brightness of the display to the minimum value after a certain time
(compared to the next option this has the advantage that the touchscreen of U.motion Client Touch
7 will still react to inputs).
-The option „Turn off“ will disable display and touchscreen after a certain time. In order to re-enable
U.motion Client Touch 7 from this state, the HOME button must be pressed; no touch input will be
recognized in this state.
The menu „Display Settings“ is another link to a standard settings menu of Android and beneath the
configuration of the display timeout (used for the display dim and off functions) also permits to manually
change the brightness of the display of U.motion Client Touch 7. Furthermore animations (like for example
when changing between apps) can be disabled, what saves performance and lowers the energy consumption
of the device. The setting „Show navigation bar“ permits to enable / disable the navigation bar in the lower
area of the screen. At delivery the navigation bar is always enabled.
The setting „Lock Screen“ allows the configuration of a display lock screen for U.motion Client Touch 7:
At delivery this option is disabled. When enabling for example „Image“ as lock screen, further configuration
entries (Timeout and path to the image, check out the screenshot on the upper right) are shown. The
selected image (or a default image, if no image is selected) after the defined timeout will just be shown in
front of the launcher and prevent an unwanted commanding of the fields of the launcher. A swipe gesture to
the left or right side will disable the lock screen and show the launcher pages again.
Furthermore the lock screen supports also gesture control: if for example a „1“ is drawn with the finger on
the lock screen, the app U.motion Control is automatically launcher; if a „2“ is drawn, the app U.motion
Communication is launched.

U.motion Client Touch 7
Technical Manual
The next section allows the access to Android-specific settings.
The menu entry „Android Settings“ gives access to the complete settings of Android. Since these settings
permit to interact on a deeper level with the Android system, this menu is protected by a master password.
This password can be requested at any time from the support; nevertheless, please refer to downstanding
note.
Caution!
By releasing the master password, any claims for warranty on the correct software functionality of
U.motion Client Touch 7 are lost. Accessing the Android settings carelessly can cause data loss and
in worst case dysfunctions of the operating system, for which no responsibility is taken. An efficient
support can only be offered as long as U.motion Client Touch 7 is used within the established
conditions.
The next 3 entries again link to standard menus of Android:
The entry „Manage Applications“ will show a list of applications installed on the devices (for example through
the Play Store) and allows their administration and also uninstalling.
The entry „Manage SD card“ can be used to mount / unmount microSD cards connected to the
corresponding slot on the front side of U.motion Client Touch 7. The menu permits to mount, unmount and
also erase the storage card. Furthermore this menu also shows information about the integrated storages. At
delivery, from the 4GB internal storage approximately 750 MB are still usable by the Android system (for
system-internal data) and around 2,6GB are free for user data (like media, images,…); the remaining space is
used by the Android installation itself.
The entry “Change Volumes” permits to change the volumes of the U.motion Client Touch 7 (e.g. ring tone
volume, media volume) and gives access to the various settings of the available audio signals.
By clicking on the last entry you will leave the settings menu and return to the launcher. The entry above
shows the currently installed Android version and can be helpful to identify the current version of your
U.motion Client Touch 7. If you still have questions regarding U.motion Access, please get in contact with the
technical support.

C4 U.motion Control:
The app U.motion Control was especially designed to work in combination with U.motion devices. At
delivery, this app is already connected to the field „Building“ of U.motion Access and can be started by
clicking on that field. The app can be classified as web app, which shows contents that normally can also be
shown through a common browser, in an optimized way.
In order to get an idea of the representation of the app, the following screenshot shows the app displaying
