Mobile phone of the aged is a comparably special cell-phone category which playsa very important role in the daily life of the elderly. The design of mobile phone for oldpeople not only can make their life more convenient, but also can lessen the pressurebrought by social aging trends, which embodies the harmonious development of society.At present, the manufacture of mobile phone of the aged is full of achievements, but inthe academic field, it still stays at a preliminary stage being short of the support andguidance of the corresponding theory. The theoretical deficiency leads to the spottymanufacture level of the telephone exposing many problems, among which the mostprominent drawback is that designers couldn’t accurately grasp the demands of the agedfor the appearance and the specific function of communication equipment, and theyseem like an aggregate. Along with the rapid development of science and technology,the function of mobile phone is developing with an unprecedented speed since it comesinto the world, and the communication function is no longer its sole core function, butintegrating more and more computer technology and network techniques. This paper hasa comprehensive analysis investigation of the component factors of the appearancemodeling of the mobile phone and the visual language of the mobile phone interface,and illustrates its appearance design from humanized perspective by using methods ofthe aesthetic design, marketing, methodologies, promoting the basic elements of themobile phone’s appearance modeling in aspects of aesthetics, color, shape and materialquality. According to people’s need of the social culture and the analysis of marketservice condition and directing at various audiences to conclude individual design ideasto meet the demand of different groups of people by employing systematic designprocedures integrating actual cases to grasp the overall visual style of mobile phone’sappearance. Especially when the old are in need of help and feel uncomfortable, thetelephone can provide help according to their demands. When the old are in emergency,they can open the" active mode" by one-touch operation or the first order menuoperation. Then, the telephone of the old can send message to the third party serviceprovider according to predetermined information including geographical location, the nearest hospital, neighboring traffic information and so on and all these resources areoffered by different providers. At the same time, mobile phone of the old willautomatically call the emergency contacts that have been installed. Besides, the mobilephone of the old can reorganize all these feedback information into one short message tosend to the emergency contact automatically.
