The Design&Development Of Social Application In Mobile Terminal Devices

People’s personal digital devices have been enriched by technologyinnovations in the era of information technology. As people start to getconnected through mobile devices more than personal computers, a largeamount of personal mobile terminals were taken into vehicles for use.However, these personal digital devices were not designed to be use incars at the very beginning. It is inconvenient and dangerous for the driverto use mobile terminals whilst driving when being faced with complextraffic environment. Thus, it is very important to design a safer way touse mobile terminal devices in in-vehicle environment.In this paper, we described and analyzed the main direction of thecurrent study and the results they achieved. We used the User-CenteredDesign method to accomplish our research and design work on the basisof summing up the results of previous studies. Using the contextualinquiry, we analyzed the social needs of the users in cars. After that wecreated a persona to describe the user demands and user’s actions.Through the use of workflow, information architecture, storyboards, scenarios and interactive prototype design, we worked out with asolutions to meet the social demands of the driver and the remote callers.We combined In-vehicle Infotainment system with mobile terminaldevices. Conduct behavioral persuasion by telling the callers the driver isdriving at the moment to filter out unimportant calls. Informing theremote callers the current location of the driver by submitting a request toreduce as much operation of the driver on the phone as possible. By doingthis, help the driver to use the phone’s features in a safer way whilstdriving.
