스마트폰 홈 화면 GUI 디자인 개인화요소에 관한 연구

Abstract

In the information-oriented society, smart phones are one of the most widely used terminals. Smart phone users want to change graphical user interference (GUI) as they wish according to their purpose or pattern of use. This study examined design elements in the so-called home screen provided as the first interface between a user and a device to understand what elements were regarded by users to be individualized as they wish. This research, to define such design elements for individualization based on user experience and perception, performed documentary study in the 1st phase and conceptualized smart phone individualization and GUI design elements. In the 2nd phase, 190 users who had experiences of smart phone individualization were surveyed to write down in-depth details on what they perceived as design elements subject to individualization. In the 3rd phase, collected replies were assorted under the affinity diagram method. As a result, we could divide hom escreen into a main screen, main menu bar, status bar, and widget and draw user-perceived individualization design elements as shown in 3-2-3. from each divided parts. The user-perceived individualization GUI design elements found out in this study are expected to be significant foundation for subsequent researches on GUI design individualization of smart phones.
