A Evaluation Method of Software Interface Design Used on Home Appliances

Abstract

The interface design of software used on Home Appliances targeted at satisfying passenger's physiology and psychological needs when operating the machine to the maximum extent is a complicated synthetic topic which embracing ergonomics, visual communication design, user experience design, behavior psychology, cultural studies of the consumer, optics and Chromatics and so on. So, it is very difficult for us to find a unified criterion which can be used to estimate the interface design of the software used on Home Appliances. In order to improve science and objectivity of the evaluation process, this paper established the evaluation index system centered on the user experience firstly. Then identified the weight of each index used AHP. Furthermore, constructed the evaluation analytical model used the Gray Disaster theory. This method effectively overcomes the subjectivity and arbitrariness in the evaluation process. Finally, the prototype system of the software has been developed to verify the validity of the method.
