abstract
Background Premium air purifiers share similar functions but vary in interface types, with apps enhancing device interfaces. This study aims to analyze and compare these interfaces to see how they complement each other. Methods The study analyzed air purifier interfaces across physical devices, apps, and remotes, categorizing elements into visual (layout, graphics, typography, color) and usability aspects (visibility, responsiveness, manipulability, consistency). It assessed strengths and weaknesses based on these criteria to compare interface characteristics effectively. Result In the evaluation of device interfaces, LG excelled in the device's visual and usability aspects, while Coway and Dyson dominated the app's visual elements, and Samsung, Coway, and Dyson led in app usability. Key findings include: 1) Device functionalities were similar, yet control ranges varied; 2) The device's display size and color support significantly influenced both visual and usability factors; 3) Apps generally scored higher in visual and usability elements, especially for products that received lower ratings in the device assessment. Conclusion The study confirmed that apps enhance the interfaces of air purifier devices and is expected to offer valuable insights for interface improvement.
