Sample Set

The objectives of this study were to determine if older adults encounter difficulty using real-world telephone menu system applications and to gather data on the usability features of these systems. Six real-world telephone menu systems, which varied in complexity and function, were examined. The sample included 32 community dwelling adults ranging in age from 18–80 years. Participants interacted with the menu systems to perform a sample set of tasks. They were also asked to rate the usability features of the system in terms of their goodness and their relative importance. The data indicated that in addition to taking longer, the older adults tended to have more difficulty performing the tasks. The findings also indicated that memorability was an important usability feature, and that the ratings of overall usability and overall satisfaction were significantly worse for the older adults.

Detection And Diagnosis

Aiming at the problem of the lack of a type of ordnance equipment unit fault location method and based on μC/GUI embedded graphical user interface, a new detection and diagnosis system is designed, which integrates self-inspection, spare part detection, real equipment detection and teaching into one. The system adopts C8051F020 MCU and S3C2440 ARM9 microprocessor, combines the application of data acquisition, LCD touch control & display, serial communications and other technologies to build the hardware system, and constructs a new menu system based on μC/GUI.

The Way

Computer-based office support tools are being introduced to an increasing number of people in an increasing number of environments. It is important to understand who is using these tools, how they are using them, and the impact of this usage. A set of user-oriented applications is available at MITRE via MENUS, a system that enables users to access office support tools through a menu driven interface. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the MENUS menu system, two types of data were collected: questionnaires were sent to all new MENUS users and interviews were conducted with people who had been using MENUS for at least one month. The way MENUS applications are used and their perceived importance are described. Almost all of the applications are used, with varying degrees of frequency. Some are very useful and should probably be included in any “electronic office system;” some are not so useful. To date, MENUS has not had as large an impact on our corporation as it might. Reasons for this and suggestions for improving MENUS effectiveness are given.

Modal block clustering (MBC) is proposed as an approach more suited to the derivation of menu structures than hierarchical clustering techniques. Problems with the application of hierarchical techniques and pairwise similarity ratings (PWSR) from which the clusters are derived are discussed. MBC defines clusters based on the pattern of common command attributes and provides an objective way to determine the composition and number of menu panels to include in a menu structure. The method also objectively defines command redundancy for the menu panels. The method of MBC was applied to the 97 commands that comprise the CMS operating system resulting in 17 menu categories. The menu categories were used to design a help menu system. The MBC procedure provides a viable methodology for complex systems, such as CMS, which derive increased functionality from numerous command options. System designers can fruitfully and efficiently apply this methodology both to current systems and to proposed systems for which there are no expert users.

Menu Design

An experimental knowledge-based menu design assistant (MENUDA) was developed to aid the design of menu systems. A conceptual model was first developed to provide a structured construct to organize knowledge of menu system design from the available literature, and to serve as a paradigm for the development of the MENUDA system. The knowledge base and the user interface of the MENUDA system were developed under an interactive microcomputer environment supported by Texas Instruments' Personal Consultant Plus. The current version of the MENUDA system is described in the paper. In addition, the methodology used to derive rules in the MENUDA knowledge base and the appropriateness of employing a knowledge-based expert system approach to providing user interface design guidelines are discussed.

Different Levels

Creation and traversal of links in a user adaptable menu was examined for syntagmatically and paradigmatically related targets. One group searched for paradigmatic related targets within the same intermediate category under different superordinate categories, while another searched for syntagmatic related targets belonging to different intermediate categories under the same superordinate. Users with syntagmatic targets created and traversed more superordinate category links, while users with paradigmatic targets traversed more intermediate category links. As predicted, more horizontal links at the same hierarchical level were created and traversed than diagonal links joining different levels. Overall, users tended to create links forming hierarchical networks.
