Ergonomic Design Of Information Systems Research

This paper stems from the project of National High Technology Research and Development Program of China (Type A), named"Research Faced to Computer Aided Definition Design about Product Innovation" (No.2002AA411110) and"Research on Key Technology of 3D Digital Customized Design of Information Domestic Appliances" (No.2002AA411120).The paper analyzes the information needed by designers in Ergonomics Design process, constructing an Information System frame on Ergonomics Design field on the basis or principles of Information System, theories of Ergonomics Design and network-based database technology. The Ergonomics Design Information System is based on B/S structure. The function model and information model is established by IDEF method. The human body measurement database and the ergonomics design reference database are also designed and established. The sysytem realizes a series of functions, including metrical data inquiry about two-demention human template, instance inquiry about ergonomics design, management about network-based database.With realizing the system's prototype, it has been proved that this system can aid designers in different levels, such as knowledge transformation, information acquirement and communication. The result confirms that this system can improve the efficiency and quality of ergonomics design.
