Approach to Human Centered Design Innovation by Utilized Paper Prototyping

The purpose of this study is to discover a design methodology for User Centered Design (UCD) Innovation. This paper focuses on paper prototype method for user evaluation and design. After proposing an approach to utilize paper prototype method, author proposed detail approach based on UCD process. In case study, author utilized this method for design education of design course on university. As a result, author received several innovative ideas from UCD view point.

Applying Human Centered Design Process for Designing Air Traffic Control Interfaces

In this research, we focused on task analysis of air traffic controllers in actual en-route Air Traffic Control ATC in an experimental activity based on a Human-Centered Design HCD approach. We discuss the method of design to develop a system of human consciousness, and created prototype design along with HCD process. In this paper, firstly, we propose an observation survey technique that can obtain survey results of high effectiveness, with a process of HCD that can be executed simply compared with current available techniques. In this analysis, we conducted a simulation at one of the air traffic sectors of the Tokyo Area Control Center. After analyzing the current ATC work, we developed a prototype design of the future ATC interface for Air Traffic Controllers based on our findings.

Observation analysis method for culture centered design: proposal of KH method

Product development has advanced for developing countries with their economic growths. It must have a priority to learn their culture when developing a product for people having different background. This study focuses on observational method, which is important for designing an overseas product, and provides authors original method from observation to output named KH method. KH method aims at making basement of ideation figured out deeply their experience through culture centered thinking in the phase of Observation, Analysis and Ideation.

User Interface Design in Remote Aerodrome Flight Information Service

Recently, air traffic volume is increasing more and more due to strong air travel demands. Airport control operation needs to keep safe and smooth traffic condition. On the other hand, air navigation service provider (ANSP) faced up to provide mode large traffic capacity and make higher efficiency. Therefore, ANSP attempt to exploit not only large-scale airports but also small class airports. Remote Air Flight Information Service will be provided to under the middle size airports. User interface design is also an important factor to improve remote AFIS operation performance. In this research, we propose an idea of interface for remote AFIS which is designed as an easy-to-use interface concept for AFIS operators’ work. We also discuss the design process and technique based on User Experience (UX) approach. At last, we show our prototype concept design based on analysis.

Design Approach for Sanpoyoshi Principle and Case Study

Author propose design approach for user, business and social. “Sanpoyoshi principle” is a Japanese term which means “for all three patties” and “to be good”. For this paper, author propose design approach based on “Sanpoyoshi principle” as good for user, company and social. The proposed approach is including Sanpoyoshi stakeholder map and Sanpoyoshi business model. Author conducted case study based on proposed approach.

Designing the Remote Aerodrome Flight Information Service Systems Interface Base on Human Centred Design Approach

Air Flight Information Service (AFIS) is providing essential information such as weather information, departure clearance, approach clearance, and so on. During a remote AFIS operation, an operator provides flight information to the pilot from the Flight Service Centre (FSC) remotely. Air traffic is expected to increase in the future. Therefore, Remote AFIS system also needs to improve and extend the handling capacity of air traffic. Within this context, User interface design is an important factor to improve remote AFIS operation performance. In this research, we propose an interface for remote AFIS which is designed as an easy-to-use concept for AFIS operators’ work. We discuss the design process and technique based on User Centered approach. Finally, we show our prototype concept design based on our analysis.

New service design for female-twenties with movie enjoyment

My study is inspired by human centered design (HCD) processing. My main target is aiming at twenties of Japanese female who don’t like to go to movie theater often. In order to make them to be more positive to watch a movie, my design processes are starting from current investigation, user surveys, concept extractions, expanding ideas, mocking up, final products making and user evaluations. Therefore, I made an application (tablet) for this service design. What I concern about is, rather asking people to go to movie theater, I concentrate on information about actors/actresses. In additional from the results of user surveys, we can tell that people don’t go to movie theater alone. In other words that we could use this key point, if we want to ask friends to go watch a movie, we can use the information that I created on my application and make good communication with my friends and share with them. Not only more young generation would like to go watch a movie eagerly, but also, help the movie industry get stronger.

Developing a User Interface Design of ATM Systems

Air Traffic Controllers are expected to continue maintaining the safety of the air space and maintaining air traffic flow to run smoothly in complex systems in the future. We discuss the method of design to develop a system of human consciousness, especially for Air Traffic Controllers. In this research, we proposed a prototype of the user interface which focuses the spotlight on aircraft related with crossing in the future on a route and Air Traffic Controllers specify when receive the information of the aircraft. Under the conventional systems, Air Traffic Controllers need to search for crossing routes for the relative aircraft by themselves. Therefore, we expect this system will be able to assist in reducing the searching task to find crossing routes for relative aircraft by using our new concept.

Developing Visualisation Techniques of Tasks in Air Traffic Control Work

Air Traffic Controllers are expected to continue maintaining the safety of the air space and maintaining air traffic flow to run smoothly in complex systems in the future. In this research, we focused on task analysis of air traffic controllers in actual en-route ATC in an experimental activity based on a Human-Centred Design approach for designing the new concept user interfaces. We discuss the method of design to develop a system of human consciousness, especially for Air Traffic Controllers.

WARAI PRODUCT: Proposal to the Design Approach Designing the Product that Causes Laughter

The purpose of this study is to propose the design approach designing the product that causes laughter. Author believes this product helps to reduce various stresses by laughter. Modern people tend to be emotionally unstable easily because of a lot of stresses like worry, the difficulty, and the financial problem and the social trouble. Moreover, laughter has able a lot of effects for man and the power to change the world. Laughter is a common language of the world. Therefore, laughter is sent to the world by the product produced in this research, and it aims at communications and the global peace. Author selected a college student as a target person on this study because student will be active in the society of the future. Author named WARAI(big smile)PRODUCT as product that causes laughter.Based on the literature study, author proposed designing method for WARAI PRODUCT such as preparing minimum two factors to cause laughter on the product. For example, one of WARAI PRODUCT have laughter factor on external design and internal design. The investigation has extracted the factor of laughter from the literature study of current laughter. The factor that looked like was made 15 groups from the factor of 62 extracted by using the KJ method. In addition, it made it to 16 factors adding the factor to which the author was paying attention. Using these 16 factors did the user investigation and the humor product investigation. Other investigations were the property investigation, the laughter investigation, and the scene investigation. The user investigation, the property investigation, and the scene investigation were done in Japan and France. Because to send the world laughter. The idea is progressed based on the result of the investigation, and the product that causes laughter named WARAI PRODUCTS is produced.
