Qian Li · 2010
With the soaring development of pervasive computing environment,an increasing number of folks need to conduct tasks that used to be completed with the help of business agents in the past.This makes traditional interactive design techniques of business orientation difficult to meet the common users' usability requirements for the environment.In this paper,we present a design technique for user interfaces based on the perceptual control theory.It enables to provide usable user interfaces,which are easy to learn,to understand and to manipulate for the common users.For the purpose of satisfying the usability requirements in the pervasive computing environment,this design technique introduces a technique of task analysis in accordance with perceptual control theory and a process of participatory design,to help the users making interaction at the task level instead of at the business level.
