Research On Mobile Music Application Interface Design Based On Semiotic Approach To Product Architecture Design

In the current social life,all kinds of mobile Internet Applications(APP)which installed in smart phones are becoming more and more popular.These mobile Internet applications broaden the basic needs of the mobile phone as a communications device,they can also meet the user's entertainment,shopping,reading,travel and other diverse needs.In recent years,the use of mobile music APP is gradually replacing the old way of music appreciation.More and more people are used to use these music APPs and it has vast market potential.So the study of music APPs becomes necessary.In view of design,mobile music APP spawned a new music behavior,the new behavior in use will always have some issues,and this is why these APPs need to be constantly updated.Under such circumstance,the interface is a key part of the mobile music APP design.The design of the interface affects the user experience to a large extent,and then decides whether a design can be successful in the market.The excellent design is always able to coordinate the relationship between people and objects,therefore,how to deal with the relationship between people and objects in the interface design is particularly important.Then,by reading a lot of literature we found a research framework which combines people and objects.It's called SAPAD(Semiotic Approach to Product Architecture Design).This framework was proposed by Professor Hu Fei and Professor Sato Keiichi.In this framework,user behavior,product and the meaning of user behavior is regarded as three dimensions of the interaction between user and the product.The product can be optimized by analyzing the relationship of these three dimensions.Based on the SAPAD related literatures,we found the recruit of the user is random,the chosen users are not typical and this theory lacks supporting study.And it hasn't been applied in mobile internet APPs.Based on the above problems,we select a typical mobile music APP – Wangyiyun music as an example after analyze the current music APP market.Then we introduce the SAPAD framework into the Wangyiyun music APP interface optimization design.We hope this paper can broaden the current mobile music APP interface design thinking,as well as enhance the user experience,and to verify and improve SAPAD framework when used in such products.In this paper,we first analyze the APP interface design of mobile music,and take the Wangyiyun music APP as an example to analyze the current interface design of it.Then propose an mobile APP interface design method based on SAPAD.It includes persona creation,user behavior recording and analysis in multiple scenario,meaning construction and optimization of mobile APP interface.We then use this method to analyze Wangyiyun music APP.Focusing on analyze the relationship between user and objects,the semiotic meaning of user behavior(physical layer,morphology layer,experience layer,semantic layer,pragmatic layer,social layer)and cluster analysis of meaning.The reconstruction of object is realized through the mapping of meaning and object,and the design of the problem interface is optimized.We hope that this research can provide reference for the design of similar products.
