UI가 디지털 상품성에 중요한 요인으로 인식되면서 사용성 향상을 위한 기업들의 노력이 커지고 있다. 특히 사용자들의 충성도를 고취시킬 수 있다는 측면에서 일관성 있는 UI개발은 중요한 전략이다. 일관성 있는 UI 개발을 위해 기업은 UI 가이드라인을 개발하여 운영한다. UI 가이드라인은 단순히 좋은 UI 설계만의 문제가 아니며 기업의 사업 전략을 반영해야 하고 기술적인 로드맵을 예상하여야 하며 독자들의 명확하게 이해할 수 있어야 하며 끝으로 배포 이후의 원할한 운영의 문제까지 고려해야 한다. 본 논문은 SK Telecom의 SK Telecom Standard User Interface Requirements 개발 사례를 통해 UI가이드라인 개발 시 고려하여야 하는 사항들에 대한 어떤 해결책을 내놓았는지에 대해서 알아본다.

Since the two-way interactive broadcasting service began, remote controllers have been fitted with 4 color buttons, which enable interaction and convenience to grow between users and content. With Currently, diverse studies on IPTV are in progress. Particularly, as the mobile market rapidly grows, studies on mobile IPTV and on linkage with other media are constantly increasing. Yet, mobile IPTV has never been studied as of now. In that sense, the present study attempted to design a mobile-based IPTV UI that is fitted with more usability and functionality of 4 color buttons and multi-dimensional search based on consistent criteria for content search. The UI designed in this study was estimated using user interface design guideline. The guideline is comprised of consistency, user centered, ease of use, forgiveness, feedback, functionality, aesthetic integrity.

The importance of User Interface (UI) in mobile phone has increased as the complexity of use increases due to the new technology adoption. The complexity and load for user interface development has increased accordingly. This paper discusses how to make a structured UI development process based on the mobile phone UI development case. After the review of UI development process and issues arising during the development, four levels of user interface guidelines are proposed such as macro rules, action templates, application rules and interaction cases. The importance of dealing various interaction case is emphasized which is not referred in the present industry UI guidelines. Most of research related to UI development focus on the target product rather than how to make good UI process. Based on the good UI process, good UI of the product can be realized. This proposed process based on UI guidelines will help to step up the UI development of mobile phone industry. Also, this process can be applied to different products or services.

핸드폰의 사용이 확대되면서 젊은 층뿐만 아니라 노년층 및 어린이들의 핸드폰 사용도 많이 늘고 있다. 그러나 현재의 핸드폰은 대부분10~30대의 중급 이상의 사용자를 중심으로 설계되어 있어, 이미 생활필수품이 된 휴대폰을 고령 사용자가 사용하기에는 많은 제약 사항이 존재한다. 이런 제약 사항들에는 작은 사이즈의 Font와 같은 물리적 제약에서 단순한 통화방식에 익숙하여 새로운 것을 유연하게 받아들이지 못해서 발생하는 인지적인 제약까지 포함되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 고령 사용자의 일상생활 중 휴대폰 관련된 불편 요소와 특이사항을 조사하여 도출하였던 요구사항을 기반으로 유니버설 디자인 휴대폰의 UI디자인 개발을 위한 가이드라인을 도출하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 고령 사용자의 핸드폰 사용 행태를 관찰하여 현재 휴대폰에서의 사용 문제점을 포함하여 사용상의 특이점을 파악한 후 고령 사용자와 초급 사용자의 불편을 최소화 할 수 있는 유니버설 디자인 휴대폰의 UI가이드라인을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 문헌연구를 통해 유니버설 디자인의 기본 개념을 살펴본 후 문맥적 사용자 조사 기법을 적용하여 1차 사용자 VOC(Voice of Customer)수집 후 주요 사용자 특성을 정의하였으며, 2차 심층 조사를 통해 핸드폰 사용시 노년층의 사용자의 Usage행태 조사를 수행하였다. 2차에 걸친 사용자 조사를 통해 도출된 요구 사항을 종합 분석하여 세분화된 휴대폰의 UI 요소에 따라 디자인 가이드라인을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 고령 사용자의 휴대폰 관련 요구사항을 공용성이 강조된 유니버설 디자인 휴대폰 개념으로 개발하기 위한 전략과 UI 디자인 가이드라인을 제시하고 있다는데 의의가 있다.

The customer satisfaction of WAP service greatly relies on the usability of the service due to the limited display size of a mobile phone and limitation in realizing UI (User Interface) for function keys, browser, and OS (operating system) Currently, a number of contents providers develop and deliver varying services, and thus, it is critical to control quality level of UI in consistent standards and manner. This study suggests usability index evaluation system to achieve consistent UI quality control of various WAP services. The system adopts both top-down and bottom-up approaches. The former concerns deriving UI design components and evaluation checklists for the WAP, based on the usability attributes and UI principles. The latter concerns deriving usability-related evaluation checklists from the established UI design features, and then grouping them from the viewpoint of usability principles and attributes. This bidirectional approach has two outstanding advantages: it allows thorough examination of potential elements that can cause usability problems from the standpoint of usability attributes, and also derives specific evaluation elements from the perspective of UI design components that are relevant to the real service environment. The evaluation system constitutes a hierarchical structure by networking usability attributes, UI guideline which indicates usability principles for each attribute, and usability evaluation checklist for each UI component that enables specific evaluation. Especially, each evaluation checklist contains concrete contents and format so that it can be readily marked in O/X. The score is based on the ratio of number of items that received positive answer to the number of total items. This enables a quantitative evaluation of the usability of mobile WAP service. The validity of the proposed evaluation system has been proved through comparative analysis with the real usability problems based on the user test. A software was developed that provides guideline for evaluation objects, criteria and examples for each checklist, and automatically calculates a score. The software was applied to evaluating and improving the real mobile WAP service.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine multi-modal interaction effects of input-mode switching on the use of smart phones. Background: Multi-modal is considered as an efficient alternative for input and output of information in mobile environments. However, there are various limitations in current mobile UI (User Interface) system that overlooks the transition between different modes or the usability of a combination of multi modal uses. Method: A pre-survey determined five representative tasks from smart phone tasks by their functions. The first experiment involved the use of a uni-mode for five single tasks; the second experiment involved the use of a multi-mode for three dual tasks. The dependent variables were user preference and task completion time. The independent variable in the first experiment was the type of modes (i.e., Touch, Pen, or Voice) while the variable in the second experiment was the type of tasks (i.e., internet searching, subway map, memo, gallery, and application store). Results: In the first experiment, there was no difference between the uses of pen and touch devices. However, a specific mode type was preferred depending on the functional characteristics of the tasks. In the second experiment, analysis of results showed that user preference depended on the order and combination of modes. Even with the transition of modes, users preferred the use of multi-modes including voice. Conclusion: The order of combination of modes may affect the usability of multi-modes. Therefore, when designing a multi-modal system, the fact that there are frequent transitions between various mobile contents in different modes should be properly considered. Application: It may be utilized as a user-centered design guideline for mobile multi modal UI system.

As the number of mobile apps increases exponentially, automation of tests performed in the app development process is becoming more important. Until the app is released, iterative verification is performed through various types of tests, and this study was conducted focusing on the GUI test among various types of tests. This study is meaningful in that it can contribute to the stable app distribution of the developer by suggesting the development direction of the GUI test. To develop Android's GUI test tool, I collected basic data before presenting the development method by researching Android's UI controls and Material design guideline. After that, for the existing GUI test automation tool, two tools based on screen capture test and four tools based on source code analysis test were studied. Through this, it was found that existing GUI test tools don't consider visual design, usability, and component arrangement. In order to supplement the shortcomings of existing tools, a new GUI test automation tool development method was presented based on the basic data previously studied.
