| description | The rapid development of digital technology significantly impacts the use of cell phone interfaces by the elderly. This paper aims to analyze the interaction design of cell phone interfaces for the elderly to enhance their user experience and ease of use. This paper investigates the evaluation system for evaluating cell phone interface interaction for the elderly, including interface size, Layout, and functionality. A group of elderly people aged 65-75 are invited to evaluate the effects of different design options by observing their performance under different interface sizes (large size 6.0 inches, medium size 5.5 inches, small size 4.5 inches) and layouts (nine-cell grid and combination type). The evaluation metrics are task completion time, number of operation errors, and eye movement data. The 6.0-inch interface experienced an average task completion time of 6.97 seconds, a decrease of approximately 6 seconds and 1 second from the 4.5-inch and 5.5-inch interfaces, respectively. The large-size interface had an average error rate of 1.11 per task, significantly less than the average error rate in the 4.5-inch and 5.5-inch interfaces. The more extensive interface significantly decreased user gaze points and gaze time, indicating more efficient information acquisition. More extensive cell phone interfaces and combined layouts can significantly improve interaction efficiency and reduce operation errors for elderly users, enhancing user experience. The findings of this study offer practical guidance for designing cell phone interfaces for the elderly and aid in promoting cell phone interface design for the elderly. |
