In the era of Mobile Internet, the development trends of variety and high intelligence of handheld devices have greatly enriched the lives of people. The handheld devices have become a necessity of life. In the background of the rapid popularization of Panel PC and touch-screen smart phone, and recently the worldwide "hurricane" of popularity of social network websites, the SNS(Social Network Service)interface is facing a transformation from website user interface to handheld device user interface. However, this kind of transformation should consider the software and hardware attributes of the intelligent system, and is based on deeply digging into users’ basic functional requirements and various Kansei demands of social networking applications, rather than simply integrating the function or streamlining the interface of SNS website. Therefore, this exploratory study, which is about how to make the features of mobile media to play an active role to develop mobile social network service, seems particularly necessary.The nature of social is to communication with others. This is consistent with the fundamental function of address book. From that point, this study suggests that, the best starting point for develop mobile social networking services, is to integrate SNS model into address book. This study analyzed the development of smart handheld devices, combination status of SNS and smart handheld devices, and user’s usage habits of SNS function in the handheld devices, and then, provided a solid theoretical basis to design. What’s more, this study demonstrated that the means of designing the integrated communication by way of incorporating SNS, will best meet the social needs of users, optimize user experience, and improve the viscosity of users of smart handheld devices’user interface.This study also analyzed the hardware appearance and interface interaction features of existing smart handheld devices, selected the mobile phone which is most widely used, as the object of study. And based on the author’s practical experience in interaction design, this study selected the Android operating system which is more freedom in platform and of high degree of openness, to conduct the innovative interface design.In the research process, as the social attributes of social network, this study drew on sociology, psychology theories, and based on in-depth interviews, questionnaires, through the method of Fuzzy Evaluation according to Kansei Engineering, to estimate the users’ perceptual demands, strengthened the design elements that can significantly improve users’ satisfaction, weakened other complex social functions, and then, summed up the rational and objective design guidelines. What’s more, based on the analysis of competing products for eight key functions, from interaction perspective, this study found out the best solution to improve, innovative and design. In the end, through detailed functional structure designing, interactive prototyping, process designing and simple programs implementation, and by the way of setting the key task and observing the success rate of user operating, this study demonstrated the innovation interface is easy to use.Finally, from the perspective of technology and user interface, this study evaluated the design program, and summarized from two aspects of theoretical and applied significances, and prospected the future development of mobile internet services, proposed the opportunities and mission which interaction designers are facing.
