User Interface Design Method Considering UI Device in Internet of Things System
This paper proposes a design method that considers both the hardware and software aspects of the UI of IoT system, and experimentally extracted UI design rules from UI and confirmed that the extracted rules can be used for UI design of practical products.
Abstract
Along with the advancement of the information engineering, various types of Internet of Things (IoT) system have also been expanding. According with these technical trend, usability of a User Interface (UI) in IoT system becomes quite important. In this paper, we propose a design method that considers both the hardware and software aspects of the UI of IoT system. The UI of IoT system must be considered hardware constraints as well as the software design of the UI. The proposed method enables an optimal UI design of IoT system by combining system design and UI design. In addition, we experimentally extracted UI design rules from UI in some simple embedded systems, and we also confirmed that the extracted rules can be used for UI design of practical products.
