| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 電子商務研究所 === 92 === While most users currently receive web services from web browser interfaces, pervasive computing is emerging and offering new ways of accessing Internet applications from any device at any location. The impacts of the forthcoming pervasive computing technology on consumer attitudes, and the acceptance rate of consumers on new pervasive interfaces, were studied using various attributes and factors we identified. The study was undertaken in Taiwan, and we proposed a new system prototype, voice-enabled web system, which could be accessed through Internet interface and voice interface. Users of the system had the choice of using the appropriate interface available to them or they prefer. The voice user interface took advantage of voice recognition technology. The data showed that handling was the greatest factor on using voice-enabled web system. Accessibility and playfulness were the other major factors in users’ perception of the system. Security and speed were also important factors but they do not have significant effects on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Our findings may be referenced for the purpose of the design and development of successful business applications to catch the revolutionary opportunity and benefit of a voice-enabled web system.
