The Research Of The Smart Refrigerator’s Food Management Interface Based On The Users’ Lifestyle

With the arrival of the smart and internet age, the white household appliances are also transforming and developing. The smart refrigerator’s food management design research based on the users’ s lifestyle is still at the primary stage and the white household company that has the given design rules and principles is rare. So the project hopes to study the rules and standard of the smart refrigerator food’s management through the angle of the difference of users’ lifestyle. At the same time, the final outcome wants to use the practising example to prove the feasibility of the rules and principles to satisfy the users and make the prodocts outstanding from the competitors.At first, what to conclude is about the development and trend of the smart refrigerator and its food management. At the same time, using the definition of the user’s lifestyle in the sociology to conclude the influential factors. Then trying to study and analyse the food management interface of the competitive products and conclude the design methods and principles. Morever, I need to search a range of problems of the smart refrigerator interface design, which includes that the architecture of the interface is not clear, the food management research is not intensive, the design of the interface has tremendous differences, the certain rules and principles have not the extention and conclusion.Based on the above research, combining the most important of the project and emerging the difference of the users’ lifestyle will affect the interface difference of food management. And define the effective elements through the splitting and concluding the lifestyle and locate the different users through analyzing the demensions of the design strategies. In the whole process of groups partition, what we can recognize is the detail persona and elements that affect the smart refrigerator and food management. And applying the partition of the lifestyle to the whole interface design of the smart refrigerator.In the process of investigation, the survey needs to base on the points and the users’ lifestyle. So the whole investigation chooses the lifestyle of health and sustainability group as an example to prove the difference and guidance of food management interface under the influence of lifestyle theory. Then using the questionnaire research, user interview, focus group and returning visits gains relative rational data, perceptual user scenarios and story digging to understand the smart refrigerator food management interface design rules and methods of health and sustainability group. At the same time, trying to understand the users’ lifestyle and pain points and demand points based on the research of users. Then digging the details of the lifestyle and characteristics of actions to get more accurate users’ model.Finally the project concludes the rules, methods and pricinples based on the smart refrigerator food management interface of users’ lifestyle. Then using the methods of different users’ lifestyle to guide the smart refrigerator food management interface. At last, using the design case of the lifestyle of health and sustainability group to prove the relative rules, methods and pricinple.The whole project is trying to analyse the smart refrigerator food management interface design strageties and methods based on the different users’ lifestyle with the support of lifestyle theory and data from the survey.
