Research Of Mobile Devices' Interaction Design Based On Metaphor

With the increasing development of information technology and society, people have many kinds of access to get information except by computer equipments. Taking the advantages of intelligent and portability, mobile devices have got into every aspect of people's lives just as computer equipments, and they have become the daily indispensable aids, and have gradually affected people's lifestyles and habits. However, compared to traditional interaction design, the interaction design of mobile devices is still a new field. It doesn't have a systemic design ideology and method. Therefore, some innovative interaction modes which are difficult to understand may appear in the interaction design of mobile devices, users often are passive and need a long time to adapt to these interaction modes, instead of understanding them easily with their own initiative and knowledge. These products which can't adapt to the users'habits and instincts, will not improve the efficiency of users'life, and will be difficult to have a position in the market.This article just concern the blank field in design ideology and method of mobile devices'interaction design research, combined with the human basic cognitive paradigm-metaphor and "human-centered" interaction design philosophy, we have put forward and make a study of mobile devices' interaction design ideology and method which is based on metaphor.Firstly, this article started from the relevant theory and applications of metaphor and the research on interaction design of mobile devices, and put forward the interaction design theory of mobile devices based on metaphor. Secondly, with adequate study of the content and features of this theory, the classification of metaphor in the interaction design and the reference of existing design method, story-based interaction design method about this design theory has been proposed. Thirdly, the research contents about the story-based interaction design method, such as the division of user model and the design of story-based interaction scenarios based on metaphor cognition level, have been discussed and analysis in detail. And detailed interaction design process and interaction design assessment program also have been given. Finally, in order to verify the feasibility of story-based interaction design method, we used this method to do the design of a concept product and also did the evaluation to the product.
