This is user friendly and famous method of interaction which is based on form i.e. reassemblng paper-based form.

Form contains page title, headings , defaullt values etc. with the help of which interaction is easy. User have supposed to filled the form and the information which is filled is stored in back end.

(3) Object Based Intreaction:- This type of interaction generally contains images, icons, symbols etc which is nothing but an object which is a way of further interaction in the system. In this we only have to click images and symbols for further processing . Different objects have different functions so it is very user friendly in the sense of interaction becauser of simple and easy process.

For their lovely functionality , it is easy to use and easily understood by users . This will take less space in screen and this works mainly from pointing with pointing device.

(4) Menu Based Interaction:- Menu is nothing but list of options . with the help of which we can interaact with the system very easily. we have to choose menu then option from list for the next process. so it is quiet easy to uderstand. Menus are list of options that drops down or open up. There option are selected by the user for certain task .

In this we generally use drops down menu and open up menu for completing the task.

1) Form interaction method:-

2) Menu interaction method:-

1) Form Interaction method:- Generally in hotel management system there exist visitors name page , room numbers, luggage details, their id proofs etc such type of data are used . so we can here use Form interaction method for better interaction with the system for finding all the data in one page in collected manner. One visitor's whole data can be seen by only one page or form . so this is best method for interaction.

In hotel management system , there also have a variety of fooding so this can also be separated by Form interaction Method . We partitioned Fooding critera in an another Page that why we clearly arrange that.

2) Menu Interaction Method:- Menu inteaction method says that all the details of the visitors can be shown through option. If I want find Individual detail then we can search in the menu with the same name and can be optained fastly. So Menu interaction Method is also profitable for Hotel management system.

If we have particultar food to serve then we drops down and pop up the particular variety and order that. so it is a very easy solution for that type of problem.
