Research On Mobile Application Design Of Self-Service Travel Based On Context-Aware

With the development of social economy,tourism has become one of the main ways for people to relax and entertain in their daily life,and also an important way for economic development.The arrival of the post epidemic era makes people have more expectations for travel.As one of the many types of travel,self-help travel has become the preferred travel mode for most travelers due to its free attributes,but it also brings more uncertainty to the travel,that is,all kinds of emergencies need to be handled by the travelers themselves,which has a certain impact on the travel experience of travelers.Most of the existing travel related mobile applications on the market are aimed at selling travel packages.It is not common for self-service travel enthusiasts to improve their travel experience.Context aware technology relies on sensors to obtain the surrounding context factors,and on this basis,speculate user needs to achieve active service.The application of context awareness in the design of self-service travel mobile applications,the integration of self-service travel related context factors into the design and research of self-service travel mobile applications,and the provision of corresponding services for the characteristics,situations and needs of self-service travel enthusiasts in the process of self-service travel,so as to reduce the uncertainty in the process of self-service travel and improve the travel experience of self-service travel enthusiasts,are of great significance to the tourists themselves and economic development.In the theoretical part,the paper first investigated and studied the relevant background of this topic,summarized the current situation of the design and research of self-service travel mobile applications and the design and research based on context awareness,and proposed that context awareness should be involved in the design of self-service travel mobile applications to improve the tourists’ experience of self-service travel.Then,define the relevant concepts of the subject,analyze the relevant product cases of the subject and make prospects.The context factors of self-service travel are divided into three parts: user context,environment context and activity context.From these three perspectives,the impact of context awareness on the design of self-service travel mobile applications is elaborated;It clarifies the value of situational awareness in meeting the needs of tourists for self-service travel;The value of situational awareness in improving the user experience of self-service travel applications;Through the analysis of these three aspects,the value of context awareness in the design of self-service mobile applications is clarified.In the user research stage,the status quo and needs of self-service travel enthusiasts were clarified through qualitative and quantitative research,the needs were classified and given corresponding weights,and the competitive product analysis was further conducted based on the user needs on the basis of the previous case analysis.Finally,the author puts forward the design principles of self-service mobile application based on context awareness;The corresponding design strategies are proposed from three aspects of user context,environment context and activity context to guide the specific design practice.In the design practice stage,the author defines the product positioning according to the conclusions of user research;The situational factors,product functions and presentation methods needed to meet user needs are clarified through scenario analysis;Output the information architecture and interaction design of self-service mobile applications,evaluate the design scheme through usability testing,optimize the scheme based on the evaluation results,complete the visual design,and output the final product scheme in the form of product positioning,storyboards and posters.This paper mainly studies the design of self-service mobile application based on context awareness.Taking self-help travel enthusiasts as the target users,based on the user situation,environment situation and activity situation,this paper puts forward the design principles and strategies of self-help travel mobile applications,and completes the design practice.On the one hand,it improves the user experience of self-service mobile applications,and on the other hand,it is of great significance to social and economic development.
