This study applies the 'interface' as the concept to interpret the facade design of parking garages. This study investigates the characteristics of interface design in the parking garages to improve design qualities of parking garages as a daily living space as well as a public space in today's city. The facade of parking garage is an interface between the urban streets and the parking space. Three concepts of interface and design in parking garage are defined. The concept of interface is explained as a boundary surface which activates communication and interaction. In facade design of parking garage, three main concepts of interface design are screen, communication and mobility. Through the investigation of the examples, this study summarizes the characteristics of the facade design of parking garage as follow; first, the facade of parking garage is designed as a screen which represents immateriality by specially selected and arranged surface materials. The screen facade is designed as one homogeneous surface as well as an irregular pattern with operable louvers. Second, the facade of parking garage is designed as a communication media to deliver direct information. The representation of natural or artificial characteristics at the local areas is to communicate with the people in the community. Third, the facade of parking garage is represented mobility which a car symbolizes. It emphasizes various movements and visual changes by movements. People can experience the visual changes of the building facade as they walk or drive. The visual changes of the facade are caused by natural elements such as wind and light as well as an optical illusion.

Previous publications regarding the design and specifications of the interface inductor and the DC side capacitor for a STATCOM usually deal with the interface inductor and the DC side capacitor only. They seldom pay attention to the influences of the interface inductor and capacitor on the performance of a STATCOM system. In this paper a detailed analysis of influence of the interface inductor and the DC side capacitor on a STATCOM system and the corresponding design considerations is presented. Phase and amplitude control is considered as the control strategy for the STATCOM. First, a model of a STATCOM system is carried out. Second, through frequency domain methods, such as transfer functions and Bode plots, the influence of the interface inductor and the DC side capacitor on the stability and filtering characteristics of the STATCOM are extensively investigated. Third, according to this analysis, the design considerations based on the phase margin for the interface inductor and the DC side capacitor are discussed, which leads to parameters that are different from those of the traditional design.

This study investigated search interface of Korea children's library and suggested how to improve problems. This study researched 4 types search interface of 27 children's reading room, public/private children's Korea home page designs and International Children's Digital Library. To sum up, when interface designers design children's search interface, they should consider following factors. The size of letters are avaliable changed which little readers want to the size of letters. Avaliable to imput the keyboard or the mouse. The size of icons should design easy to click children in size. Children's interface should design user oriented.

HCI (Human Computer Interface)is important key of software design. Effectiveness and productivity of CAD software is creation is not study actively in architectural part. The results of this study \circled1 HCI of architectural modeling is demanded effective design of keypad and short key. \circled2 It is require that system reactions to be united in one interface in order to hold in check confusion of the information. \circled3 Intelligent interface for continuous update of 3D information is required.

Various kinds of digital contents developers are recognizing the importance of interface design, but they have no integrated and arranged interface design principles, so are facing difficulties in applying them. About the interface of web-site which is one field of the digital contents, there came out necessary principles about the interface design to some extent by the active studying activities in and out of the country. However, the researchers are proposing various principles, so it is difficult to apply which design principle in what situation. To this, this study looks into the common design principles while comparing and analyzing the design principles of Donald A. Norman, Jakob Nielson, Jeff Johnson and Manna Sjoberg. Based on this, we suggest 10 interface design principles to improve the functionality and aesthetics of the digital contents.

A reactor protection system (RPS) plays the roles of generating the reactor trip signal and the engineered safety features (ESF) actuation signal when the monitored plant processes reach predefined limits. A Korean project group is developing a new digitalized RPS and the Cabinet Operator Module (COM) of the RPS which is used for the RPS integrity testing and monitoring by an equipment operator. A flat panel display (FPD) with a touch screen capability is provided as a main user interface for the RPS operation. To support the RPS COM user interface design, actually the FPD screen design, we developed a user interface style guide because the system designer could not properly deal with the many general human factors design guidelines. To develop the user interface style guide, various design guideline gatherings, a walk-though with a video recorder, guideline selection with respect to user interface design elements, determination of the properties of the design elements, discussion with the system designers, and a conversion of the properties into a screen design were carried out. This paper describes the process in detail and the findings in the course of the style guide development.

Web 2.0 시대의 도래와 함께 사용자가 제작한 동영상 컨텐츠를 공유하는 웹서비스인 UCC에 대한 관심이 날로 높아지고 있다. 이는 지속적인 사용이 요구되는 서비스 분야로서 UI의 중요성이 더욱 절실한 분야이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 UCC 동영상 서비스 사이트의 UI Design 가이드라인을 제시하기 위하여 다음과 같은 연구를 진행하였다. 다양한 UCC 동영상 서비스의 대표사이트 중 국외의 YouTube 사이트와 국내의 Pandora 사이트를 중심으로 Task 분석을 통해 사용성 평가에 필요한 Task 항목을 도출하였다. 사용성 평가를 실시한 후, 평가 결과를 분석하여 문제점을 종합하고 실제 다른 사이트의 UI Design을 분석하는데 필요한 비교 분석표를 제안하였다. 이 비교 분석표를 통해 대표적인 UCC 동영상 서비스 사이트의 사례 분석을 실시한 후, 최종 UCC 동영상 서비스를 위한 UI Design 가이드라인을 제안한다.
