User Experience Oriented Software Interface Design of Handheld Mobile Devices: User Experience Oriented Software Interface Design of Handheld Mobile Devices
Abstract
An approach to user experience oriented interface design (UEOID) is proposed for further exploring the application of interface design in handheld mobile devices. A mapping model between interface providers and receivers is put forward. The interface is divided into explicit factors and tacit factors, and the explicitization design model of tacit factors is presented. By analyzing the knowledge transformation among requirement analysis, development and design and design test, the UEOID process model is built for new software development. Taking the Olympic mobile TV software development as an example, users are asked to participate in the whole design process, and user study and requirement analysis are fulfilled with design ethnography method. With the iteration of prototype design, design assessment, system development and design, the system prototype is built and tested. Thus the UEOID theory is verified.

User experience plays an indispensable role in intelligent product design. Building a system for user research, capturing firsthand information from users and turning insights into achievable product design solutions is the key to innovation. This article introduces service design into product design and studies the design cue construction method through intelligent product design case. First, the authors capture customer touchpoints in the process of user interaction with the product by observing the user behavior and perform the correlation analysis of the customer touchpoint to obtain the user’s complaints and dissatisfaction. Second, the authors use positive creation theory to transform requirements and turn the complaints collected in user research into achievable functional requirements. Third, the authors use the KANO model for sensitivity analysis of functional requirements and select high-sensitivity requirements for priority development. Finally, using the service design innovation methods to analyze the user experience and stakeholders, the design cue map can be exported, and a new service system was established to enhance the overall user experience.
The smoothness of smartphone operations is essential to user perceptual experience. However, the underlying mechanism of how smoothness can impact user experience has not been elucidated. In this paper, we conducted two experiments to explore factors that may potentially affect user perceptual experience of smoothness in smartphone operation and examined how these factors contributed. In experiment 1, ten participants were invited and they were sensitive to the smoothness of the smartphone. Participants used swiping gesture to manipulate 27 sequences with different forms of frame loss on the microblog simulation interface, and gave mean opinion scores (MOS) according to self perception. According to the experimental results, three factors that affect smoothness perception were found: single frame-loss number (SFLN), frame-loss time (FLT), and frame-loss interval (FLI). But the effect of each factor was effective only in some conditions. In experiment 2, 20 participants gave their MOS of 84 sequences, and these sequences were divided into three parts by three factors of experiment 1. Participants’ electrophysiological data was also collected to verify the validity of the participants’ scores. The results of an analysis of variance and Student–Newman–Keuls (SNK) test showed that a SFLN, FLT, and their interaction results significantly affected the user perception of smoothness in smartphone operation. Specifically, the effect of a SFLN was more significant than that of FLT. The effect of the FLI on user perceptual experience was relatively low, but the interactive effect of FLT and interval was significant. Finally, regression analyses were conducted to obtain the fitting formulas. Our research results reflect some preliminary suggestions, so as to guide developers to configure the performance of smart phones, in order to control the frame loss of smart phones and avoid bad user evaluation.

This study puts forward an assessment method of the user experience on the basis of fuzzy assessment. An assessment system of user experience is set through the example of smartphone and all indexes of the system are quantified by the evaluation methods of behavioral measurement, performance measurement, and self-evaluation measurement. Quantitative evaluation of user experience depends on the output of comprehensive grade of the user experience, the counting of experts' weight, the building of membership function, the input of quantification value of various indexes and the building of fuzzy assessment model. The study shows that fuzzy comprehensive assessment method evaluates the user experience of products effectively.
This study puts forward the methods to evaluate the user experience of product according to smart phone, and establishes the quantized values of user experience by setting up the evaluation system. The first-level evaluation indexes include appearance perception, performance usability, and overall satisfaction in the evaluation system of user experience. This study quantifies each indicator by means of physiological and behavioral measurement, performance measurement, and self-evaluation measurement. Based on fuzzy theory, it calculates the degree of membership and turns the results into comprehensive scores by membership function, thus making quantitative evaluation of user experience. This paper describes a evaluation system and a quantitative method evaluating the user experience of the product visually and effectively.
An approach of design semiotics based icon design was proposed for exploring application of icon recognition in design practice. The icon was divided into four dimensions including semantic dimension, syntactic dimension, context dimension and pragmatics dimension, in which the innovative cognition and integration of icon design process and user study were discussed, a closed icon design theory was developed. After the analysis of design semiotics based icon design process and icon algebra theory, a design semiotics based icon design expression model was presented; the importance of semantic and syntactic dimensions was put forward. With. NET technology, a design semiotics based icon design computer system IDAS1.0 was set up on Windows 7 platform, including rapid icon design component, design semiotics evaluation component and knowledge base component. Based on the IDAS1.0, icon design can be accomplished rapidly, the knowledge base can be built, and the expert design semiotics evaluation can be achieved. Thus the design semiotics based icon design theory was tested.
At present, the augmented reality technology based on mobile platform has already been used in a wide range of applications in the field of human-computer interaction. However, there is a problem that the neglect of important role of cognitive psychology and the luck of presentation of interactive information cause a poor user experience of the application. In this paper, a mobile virtual reality and augmented reality browsing system is proposed. A human-computer interaction experiment was performed by the combined use of the Macro Mental Model and Micro Mental Model. The user interface of this system was designed and realized through repeated evaluation and usability testing based on the implantation of user-centered design principles. Finally, interactive experience of this system approaches the user's psychological expectations. Furthermore, through the switch freely between virtual reality and augmented reality environments, users can obtain two distinct interactive experiences. The experimental results show that the user interface design of this system can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of user interaction, but also improve the sense of the man-machine interactive experience on the aspect of usability and efficiency.
User Interface has a rapid development along with high-tech intervention, and the status of it is more and more obvious with its sensory beauty, formal beauty and technological beauty which draws the eyeballs of people, at the same time, the information of product has been transferred and exchanged among us during the communication process. Besides that, UI design also should follow the principle of beauty and make every step of the design excellence with its merits. In this article, we will make some simple discussions on the principle of beauty that appears in UI as well as some expression about it in ergonomics.
This paper examines a visual design element unique to situated, hot-spot style, services: locativeness. This is the extent to which the media representing a service relates to its immediate physical environment. This paper explores the effect of locativeness on trust with two studies assessing user attitudes in depth. The first is an implicit, or preconscious, test and the second an explicit test based on voiced value judgments. To provide a richer context, the second study contrasts locativeness with other traditional aspects of design: branding and quality. The results indicate users have a strong implicit association between locative images and trust, and that this is partially reflected in their explicit choices. This is an important interface aspect that designers should consider in order to create trustworthy situated services. Author Keywords
Designing for illiterate populations involves particular challenges: for a start, the life experiences, needs and expectations of non-elite and illiterate populations in developing nations are likely to be markedly different from those of a designer. To avoid any bias, the creation of new technologies for such groups must develop in continuous partnership with primary users, and include a thorough investigation into their worlds, lives, relationships and concerns. Involving the user throughout the design process can also help in progressively testing and fine-tuning the prototypes by exposing the shortcomings and strengths in the design.
In this paper, we report on a study that investigated the design of a mobile phone for illiterate persons. While the study takes a user-centred, incremental design approach, the users’ context of use forms the basis for the phone design. Through a discussion which compares key insights from our study with related HCI studies, we have endeavoured to illustrate how findings from our study could be useful in the area of design for non-traditional users.
In view of enhancing the usability of pen-based user interface (PUI) and presenting the full superiority of its natural interaction and convenience in operation, an interface design approach using the scenarios-tree to manage affairs related to holding conferences and provide services for inquiring about and access to the proceedings and other records is illustrated.
This study explores how cellular phone attributes influence the affective experiences of users. It is hypothesized that product attributes trigger emotional responses and that different sets of product attributes trigger intense emotional responses in Singapore and Philippines, two countries with different cultures. Results of the study showed that Singaporean pre-purchase affect (PPA) is intensified mostly by functional attributes such as display area, weight, and thickness while Filipino PPA is influenced by aesthetic attributes.
Pastiche scenarios draw on fiction as a resource to explore the interior ‘felt-life’ aspects of user experience and the complex social and cultural issues raised by technological innovations. This paper sets out an approach for their use, outlining techniques for the location of source material and presenting three case studies of pastiche scenario use. The first case study is an evaluation of the Apple iPod that explores the socio-cultural meanings of the technology. The second case study focuses on the participatory design of Net Neighbours, an online shopping system where volunteers shop as intermediaries for older people who do not have access to computers. The third is an in depth consideration of a conceptual design, the ‘cambadge’ a wearable lightweight web cam which, upon activation broadcasts to police or public websites intended to reduce older people's fear of crime. This design concept is explored in depth in pastiche scenarios of the Miss Marple stories, A Clockwork Orange and Nineteen Eighty-four that reflect on how the device might be experienced not only by users but also by those it is used against. It is argued that pastiche scenarios are a useful complementary method for designers to reason about user experience as well as the broad social and cultural impacts of new technologies.
If design used to be a matter of physical form, its subject the material object, it now increasingly seems to be about the user and her experiences. A central problem with this development is the confusion between what we are designing and who is going to use it—the shift towards user design. Trying to optimise fit on basis of knowledge about use and users, we risk trapping people in a situation where the use of our designs has been over-determined and where there is not enough space left to act and improvise.
This paper introduces research that investigates how human experience influences people's understandings of product usability. It describes an experiment that employs visual representation of concepts to elicit participants' ideas of a product's use. Results from the experiment lead to the identification of relationships between human experience, knowledge, and context-of-use--relationships that influence designers' and users' concepts of product usability. These relationships are translated into design principles that inform the design activity with respect to the aspects of experience that trigger people's understanding of a product's use. A design tool (ECEDT) is devised to aid designers in the application of these principles. This tool is then trialled in the context of a design task in order to verify applicability of the findings.
