Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工業設計學系 === 84 === Product deisgn is a process of encoding by means of form to
communicationinformation about the structure, funtion,
operation, and value of identityof a product. It is inevitably
necessary for a user to do decoding task in order to understand
how to use and operate a product apporiately. However,many human
errors do occur due to the lack of effective design of a product
form to communicateadequate safety messages. This study focuses
on the recognition of a productform which may express itself
better. With thorough investigation of accidents in operating a
product, some human errors are identified andcategorized for
developing appropriate forms to effectively communicate
safetyinformation. An empirical study of product forms was
conducted to test someideas of safety-related message encoding
in product design. As a result, some guidelines are proposed for
designers to design safer products to avoid human errors in
operating a product.
