Study On The Design Method Of Product Usability Of Typical Technology

Science and technology is increasingly becoming the driving force of economic and social development, which means people need to improve the ability of independent innovation and the transformation ability of typical technology as well. The usability study is an important tool for transforming science and technology into specific products. The usability of products refers to, in specific environment, the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of a product for a specific user for a specific purpose. The existing study of usability is mainly in the usability evaluation which is generally used in the later period of product design, while this project expands the connotations of usability, and holds that usability should be considered during the entire proceeding, namely to find "Whom is it usable for" in the early stages, to find "How to make it be Usable" in the mid-term, and to identify "Which One is Applicable" in the later period. Taking typical technology as an example, this project will study the design method of transforming typical technology into usable products. The study stresses that user’s demand and participation should be closely concerned in the process of product design, so as to get the user’s feedback timely and to make improvement. According to the life cycle of different typical technology, around the user-centered design, this project is devoted to the study of different design strategies, will provide a useful reference for the product design and development, and the technology transform of China.Firstly, from the three aspects of usability research, product design innovation and product usability design application, this paper analyzed research situation, discovered the existence question, proposed the research goal and framework. Then, this paper presents a product design process based on the user research, combined with the usability factor and method in product design, proposed different methods in different product life cycle should be taken in the usability design, and then establish the typical technology usability design method model. The study found:when a mature technology is used in a new field, may be derived for the budding period product or growth of new products, the technology transformed the way has the advantages of short development cycle, quick, has wider application prospects.In this paper, the product design is divided into three stages, and three typical technologies are selected as the research object, which further elaborates on the application of the usability design method:In the early stage of product design, carry on the main application of design research and demand forecast of user research, then lock products use objects, and discover their needs. Survey design commonly used methods include the story board, depth interviews, focus groups and a literature survey, is mainly on the research of the user from the subjective point of view, and demand forecasting is the establishment of database by inputting the relevant knowledge and information, from which to explore the user’s demand information, is a relatively objective. This paper thinks:combining subjective user research methods and objective methods, verify the demand forecast with design research conclusion, to better improve the usability of the product design. This paper also using the above design method to study the "oil-mill technology" product application in the family, find the potential demand of the products.Product design is the main link to reflect the middle of creative design. According to the design position, through the creative design, will be able to design concept visualization, let the design object become more feasible, and the search on the usability design goal is to find as many as possible creative clues and find a solution relatively reasonable. Therefore, this paper uses Osborn checklist,50industrial design professional Junior conducted a controlled experiment, found that the effectiveness of the method. Then, by studying the shape design and functional design approach, described the different case product innovative design. In addition, this paper also puts forward innovative design method based on product gene, rich product design and creative means and skills.In the late product design stage, previous research often use trial production and trial to validate the usability design. In this paper, the usability research extends to the design evaluation stage, different needs refining consumer, producer and designer, put forward by combining the grey statistics method and DEA method, a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis, multi index evaluation method of scientific and effective.This paper introduces the new technology, verifies product design method, at the same time, applies the usability design method to the product design of typical technology, enlarge the application field of usability, also solves the problem of design quality evaluation. And puts forward the new understanding of the connotation of usability, the usability is divided into "who can","how to use","which can be" in three aspects, and then establishes the user centered design method to evaluate the design, creative design method, user oriented to the user experience as the core of the method. This paper selects the typical technology as the research object, research and technology into the mechanism and design method of the specific products, according to user needs to develop new products, will contribute to the ability of independent innovation of China’s manufacturing industry.
