Analysis of "Thin" Mobile Phone Form Based on the Kansei Engineering

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the form design parameters of mobile phones and their "Thin" perceptual images by using the evaluation method of Kansei Engineering. By summarizing the design principle of "Thin" mobile phone form, this study determines the semantic correspondence between the chamfer of mobile phone edge and the perception of "Thin - Thick." Designing an evaluation experiment obtains the subjective evaluation order of the experimental samples to analyze the correlation between the sample form design parameters and the perceptual evaluation of the "Thin" image. It concludes that the ranking of subjective assessment of mobile phone's "Thin" image is negatively correlated with the offset distance x of plane A and the offset distance Y of plane B, and strongly positively correlated with the value of conic polar diameter ρ. This study provides a theoretical basis for designing the "Thin" form of mobile phones, which can effectively offer a numerical and methodological reference for the design of objects with similar shapes.
