Research on age-adaptive design of information interaction based on physiological characteristics of the aged

Abstract

The research on age-adaptive design of information interaction based on physiological characteristics of the aged is carried out to make functional reconstructions to the interactive information output from the perspective of interaction mechanism according to interactive demands on the basis of the life styles, behavioral characteristics and behavior patterns of the elderly population. The structure form is manifested as cognitiom-understanding-decision-implementing- feedback, which constructs the information interaction prototype for observing and understanding, the information interaction prototype for exploring and iterative design, the information interaction prototype for communication and evaluation. These prototypes are applied to look into the information exchange mechanism and pattern of the products for aged people and the mapping and correlation between behavior pattern of the old and the way of interaction of products. This is combined with the principles and methods of information interaction design to obtain the rules and integrate the behavioral paradigm of the innovation of product information interaction, thus constructing an innovative method system of “age-adaptive design of information interactive”. With the information interactive performance of the products for the elderly improved from aspects including inclusiveness and usability, the information exchange between elderly users and products is more accurate, natural, smooth and easy, so that products designed for the elderly become more safe, comfortable, healthy and efficient, more “useful, easy to use, want to use”, in which way the validity and reliability of the information exchange of the products for the aged is deepened and the breadth and depth of information interaction design of the products for the elderly are expanded.
