Conceptaul Design Study Of Information Products On The Basis Of Pervasive Computing Theory

We are confronted lots of complex information in the Information Age while information products can be considered as the communication channel between us and digital world. Many kinds of information products can be found everywhere in our daily lives. Just as one coin has two sides, information products (hardware vector for information interaction) also are troublesome of some sort, for example: the complex GUI and information input are not easy to understand which require us to search for the user guider and manipulate for several times. With the development of Internet and wireless communication technology, information production design also meet great challenges and opportunities at the same time. How to change the aggressive information influx to a natural information interaction mode more in line with the psychological characteristics of human beings, how to improve the life quality from the information products with new information interaction mode as well as convey the information effectively to the people with the hardware vector will be of great value for industrial designers to think which also provide the excellent opportunities for the development of information products under the Information Age.Design study requires a solid theoretical foundation and forward-looking foresee so as to be a reference or guidance for the future design. Therefore, this paper cited the forefront theory in human-computer interaction (HCI) field——Pervasive Computing as the theory guidance for the information products. The core of Pervasive Computing includes getting information service anywhere, easier and more interesting information interaction combined with tangible vector which is more in line with the psychological characteristics of human beings. On the basis of research about Pervasive Computing theory, this paper applies the methodology in Pervasive Computing theory——Tangible User Interface (TUI) design method for the in-depth analysis about design objects and the design concept procession so as to creatively establish the interactive design framework for innovation of information products. The new framework of interaction design starts in the interaction design definition for hardware and software and tries to find the potential relationship between hardware and software as a whole rather than two separate parts. Through such a design method intermediate a bridge between the digital world and the physical world, and truly establish a seamless interface. Finally, take the concept design procession of CLP (Culture-Learning Partner) system as an example and apply the new framework of interaction design in the paper. The interaction design and production design will affect the concept development and design of next generation of information products in the future.
