基于符号学的参与式设计方法在充电终端图标设计中的应用研究

目的 为了便于用户准确理解充电终端图标功能含义,减少视觉搜索时间,提高充电终端操作效率和易用性.方法 从符号学出发,在语意、语用和语构等维度上结合参与式设计方法对充电终端图标设计进行整合创新.结果 以电动汽车充电终端图标设计为例,分析了该方法的具体过程.首先对相关产品进行市场分析和产品定位,确定9项具体功能.对40名用户进行结构访谈并建立语意文档.通过单一元素或组合元素的形式建立语意文档映射关系,明确图标主体内容.其次根据设计风格及审美要求,对图标进行优化得到设计方案.最后,通过模拟操作实验对图标方案进行评价,完成图标设计.结论 基于符号学的参与式设计方法可以减少用户的认知差异,提高图标易用性,并为电动汽车充电终端的图标设计提供参考.

Application of Participatory Design Method Based on Semiotics for Charging Pile Icon Design

This paper aims to facilitate users to accurately understand the meaning of the charging terminal icon function, reduce the visual search time, and improve the operating efficiency and ease use of the charging terminal. In terms of semantics, pragmatics, and semantics, combine participatory design methods to integrate and innovate charging terminal icon design. Taking electric vehicle charging terminal icon design as an example, the specific process of the participatory design method based on semiotics is analyzed. First, market analysis and product positioning of related products were carried out to determine 9 specific functions. Structure interviews were conducted with 40 users and semantic documents were created. A pragmatic document mapping relationship was established in the form of a single element or a combined element to clarify the object of the icon. Then, according to the design style and aesthetic requirements, the icons are optimized to get the design. Finally, the icon scheme is evaluated by simulation experiment, and the icon design is completed. The participatory design method based on semiotics can reduce users'' cognitive differences, improve the usability of icons, and provide a reference for the icon design of electric vehicle charging systems.
