The Research On Method For User Interface Design Of Mobile Phone

The method of user interface design of mobile phone is the research theme of this paper. Along with the info-tech coming into the post-pc time, user interface design of mobile phone has gradually become the key factor of design evaluation for mobile phone. But only a few mobile phones on market can claim to be satisfied. The reason is that two objects emphasized by user interface design of mobile phone — the usability object and user experience object — can seldom be reached at the same time.To ameliorate the user interface design of mobile phone, mobile phone user is chosen as the cut-in point of this research. Some important elements which can greatly affect interface design of mobile phone and user are analyzed and explained in details, such as the definition of user, the cognition process of user, the human-machine interface(HMI) of mobile phone and the way that HMI influencing user, etc. On the basis of analysis, some aspects which designers should pay more attention to during the user interface design process and some awaiting problems are given. Further, combining the research on objects and fundamental process of user interface design of cell phone, and the analysis and comparison on the main-stream design methods, an ameliorated method called User Participation and Iterative Design which focuses on users is introduced.This method focuses on addressing user demand and task target at the initial stage of the design process, and requires users participate in every stage of design. During the whole design process, iterative cycle should be taken as much as possible. After several cycles of design-evaluation-redesign, the interface design of mobile phone will tend to optimization. By this user interface design method which emphasizes users' participation and iteration, problems consisting in products on market will be avoided. Moreover, the usability object and user experience object will be fulfilled at the same time, which means basing on the easiness to learn, efficiency and credibility, the user interface of mobile phone will also present affinity and be easyly accepted by users, offering them the happiest experience.
