交互 (jiāo hù) — (adverb) interactively, mutually; (verb) to interact, to exchange (information, data)

Definition

交互 (jiāohù) means 'to interact' — usually between a user and a system, or for data exchange. Stronger and more technical than 互相/相互 (which just mean 'each other / mutually'); comparable to 互动 but common in computing contexts.
