| Summary: | 碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 設計研究所 === 96 === The study of human machine interface usability on sewing machine has been neglected in the academic research in Taiwan, so that we still don’t have complete research data of that for the academic or professional area to consult effectively. Since the technology changing with each passing day, the mechanization interface type of sewing machine has gradually replaced by the microcomputer interface, and its function trends to be much more versatile. But to the user the usability of microcomputer sewing machine interface is not easy enough to comprehend and use as expected. Therefore, to have an easily comprehended and used user interface for microcomputer sewing machine is the most essential competitive advantage in the market.
This research uses usability engineering test as the method to evaluate. There are three stages in the experiment. The first stage is the pretest to understand the basic problem and manipulative mold. The second stage is to set the typical model work tasks for "the original interface function experiment" and than reconstruct the related data. The final stage is to improve the interface and to set the typical model work tasks for “the redesign interface experiment”. The ones who have the experience of the traditional type of sewing machine were selected as the participants for the experiment. 15 participants took the usability test in stages two and three, and then the result data of the two stages were analyzed with “weighted mold valuation”.
The redesign interface of this research increases the usability of the sewing machine effectively for the participants. These are the principles of redesign of this research: 1.use color, word or images to strengthen the visibility of operation of the select pattern system. 2.use colors to strengthen the pattern code of the heading to increase the connection between the function and the select pattern, and that can make the user reduce the mistake rate effectively. 3.the participants had strong interest to the memory function, but could not understand the Original sign of ‘M’ and ‘C’ immediately. Use the English characters, pictures and the instruction manual can increase the operation usability. 4.with the instruction manual, the user can easily accept the operation and the usability.
