Research On The Portable Audio Design Based On The Analysis Of The Elderly Fitness Activities

With the accelerating of the aging process,China has entered a silver economy era.At the same time,as the people fitness awareness continuing to strengthen,elderly fitness as a kind of pervasive activity is generally carried out especially the square dance becomes a bright scenery line.The elderly go out of the house to participate in sports fitness activities is not only conducive to physical and mental health,but also can improve the well-being of life.Survey shows that most of the fitness movement need music as partners,such as square dance,taijiquan and some health exercise with beats,and also walking,dances and some other soothing fitness way.Therefore,the sound become a demand of the elderly in their daily fitness and entertainment scene.The country and the government support the elderly to participate in sports fitness activities,such as organization fitness training,distribution audio equipment,organization fitness competition and so on.But the relevant products that the elderly needs are very scarce,and also the audio equipment that the elderly needs was designed by the young's eyes instead of in real scenarios for market segmentation,the fussy operation steps and complex interactive process is not suitable to the elderly.In research thinking,this paper is written to create a portable audio equipment for the elderly in their fitness process.Firstly,from the current status of the elderly portable audio,the writer try to understand the concept,history,structure and classification of portable audio,and also discover problems and prospect the development through market research.Secondly,with "user centered design" idea,the writer try to study physiological,psychological characteristics and fitness traits of the elderly by arranging a lot of date about the elderly to discover deep needs and emotional needs of target user,and understand the human-machine-environment relationship through field study to discover the demands of the users and find a breakthrough for the design.In research method,this paper is based on the research of the related date,combining with the design methodology,psychology,sociology and other related disciplines.And with the data analysis method combined with field research such as observation,interviews,questionnaires and other methods to analysis the audio equipment needs of the elderly in their fitness activities to sum up the design elements.In this paper,the final goal is not only a design,but as a method of product development process toward the needs of actual users,and trying to provide some reference for the enterprise in product development.
