The Creative Design Research Of All-In-One PCs Based On The Methods Of Scenario Construction

Since Apple launched the first All-in-One personal computers in1998, All-in-One PCsbegan to enter into people’s families, and it has a great trend to replace the traditional desktopcomputers. This is mainly determined by the characteristics of All-in-One PCs. Its smallfootprint, less cable, easy to transport and many other advantages are hard to reach bytraditional personal computers. However, the difference between the existing All-in-One PCsand Desktop computers are not obvious, there is little computer manufacturers integrated intoits own characteristics to design research. So I try to apply the scenario construction methodsmentioning in sociology and psychology to All-in-One personal computers design research,my purpose is to dig the lifestyle and behavioral characteristics of the population, andresearch users in depth in order to organize, analysis and insight the data and information, andre-build the current situation. Three scenario constructions have been designed to exploratoryresearch in depth, and the appearance, interface and interaction of All-in-One PCs have beenre-optimization designed in design practice finally.This paper attempts to introduce the scenarios construction into design research of familyAll-in-One PCs, analyzed and compared the current situation of All-in-One PCs. Then adesign research of the scenarios construction method has been put forward. Finally, familyAll-in-One PC design examples has been used to describe the detail of specific operationalprocedures of the scenarios construction, screening data and integrating information to rebuildthe scenario of the All-in-One PCs, thereby creating an ideal situation for the lifestyle of thetarget population. This context, the users used the product in the full sense of cognitive logicof integrated thinking, sort out from the context, and thus complement and improve theproduct design research methods.This paper attempts to construct scenario method applying to All-in-One PCs designresearch, mainly because with the development of network technology, family All-in-OnePCs and network television are becoming the greatest Intelligence products, therefore, theseproducts are mostly equipped with intelligent features, product design research will be morerigorous and scientific, which requires the design researchers thinking the family Intelligenceproducts as the center of family. Therefore, design research will need to consider a number ofelements such as time, space, existence of elements, relationships, influence factors andinteractive elements and so on. So the design researchers should be able to research thescenario of the products more in-depth, and simulation and reproduces the scenario of theproducts and user interactive relationship, this method is not only new opportunities, but alsonew challenges for the field of product design research.
