Comparative Study Of Traditional Computer And Mobile Device Interaction Design

With the rise of mobile Internet, mobile devices have played an important role in ourdaily lives. However, the theory of interaction design about mobile devices is far behind thetimes demand. Most interfaces of mobile devices are simply transplanted from the traditionalcomputer. And the consequence is that the user experience of mobile devices is worse thantraditional computer experience. In this paper, comparing and analyzing the characteristics ofmobile devices with traditional computer, combined with research on traditional computerinteraction design, proposed the special principle of interaction design for mobile devices.Firstly, this article explains the related theory: the concepts involved in this issue hasbeen elaborated, such as interaction design, user experience; the research about interactiondesign of traditional computer. It is the basis of mobile device interaction design theory.Secondly, from the development process about traditional computer and mobile devices,focus on the differences between their hardware, software, and use of environment.Combined with those differences and on the basis of traditional computer interaction designprinciple, bring forth the macro-level interaction principle which is suitable for mobiledevices.Thirdly, detailed analysis of E-commerce website, under the macro-level interactionprinciple, combined with actual needs and situation, bring forth interaction details of mobiledevices.
