Study Of Semiotic Approach To Human Machine Interaction

It can be viewed a meaning communication that objects interact on each other. Such a process can be taken as semiosis and messages.Semiosis means to represent an object with another object. Semiotics is a subject focusing on semiotic structure, semiotic representation, message communication, etc. Human Machine Interaction study comes across interdisciplinary subjects so as to match with each other between human and their objects, enable their works to be effective, safe and reliable. Generally, some methods, which is limited in study machines and interaction systems themselves, not fully considered information representation and human factors, semiotics is helpful for the study.This paper firstly introduces semiotic theory, analyses its meta-communication and the reference model used in the research. Second, it recommends the approach on the analyse and design based on task model., ConcurTaskTree as a semiotic tool used to represent meaning; Then, the paper proposes a semiotic architecture and development steps used to an applied system, gives static and dynamic representation methods. Based on the former theory and technique, the paper takes a armored-vehicle cabin room as an example, semiotics is used to describe the static display instrument and dynamic interaction task while vehicle is run. Finally, it sums up what has been done and what should be done in the future.
