| Background An efficient interface design that can help users to adjust system and make a proper decision for accessing to contents on purpose is became important in modern product system. Various researches about prototyping which is important design process for designing an efficient interface are being conducted, but researches about the method of analyzing and utilizing the prototyping data are negligible. In this study, I propose a prototyping support tool to assist in data collection and analysis and utilization through prototyping.
Methods After analyzing about the existing prototyping support tools and data visualization methods through previous researches and literature studies, defining the shape and designing the structure for a new prototyping support tool are conducted. Then, a new prototyping support tool will be proposed based on the analysis of previous studies.
Result The prototyping supporting toolkit which is composed of two models, Functional Model and User`s Behavior Model, was proposed in this paper. Functional Model makes designers to examine whether an interface of prototype is working effectively by visualizing the user`s input activities using List Sorting Diagram. User`s Behavior Model makes designers to managing and analyzing the product use pattern data of users by visualizing the progress to the results according to the user`s action performed using Flow Chart Diagram.
Conclusion Analyzing the prototyping data has been made fractionally on the experience of the individual designers. However, through comparing and analyzing the visualized data, the prototyping support toolkit makes the designer identify easily and rapidly the functional use patterns and the user`s actual behavior patterns of a product system. This allows the designer will be able to improve the quality of the interface to the overall production system. |
