In this thesis, CAE software is used to carry out the injection molding analysis of mobile phone battery cover and simulate the filling and cooling process so as to determine the formability of plastic parts and product quality. In the process of product design, it can also predict possible defects so as to optimize mold structure, save production costs, and improve quality and efficiency of cell phone battery cover design.

User-centered design plays a significant part in product design. GOMS user behavior model analyze the interface from the aspects of both users and objects, which helps the designers to create a user-friendly interface in an efficient way. In this paper, GOMS model was used to predict the efficiency of the two versions of input interface on a touch-screen mobile phone. In addition, the experiment was conducted to collect the data under the real scenarios, and paired-sample T test was employed to analyze the data. The results indicate the GOMS prediction model can be used to evaluate the efficiency of the mobile phone interface.

Large Market

Nokia mobile phone is one of the famous mobile phone brands carrying the slogan 'Connecting People' with the intention of presenting a mobile phone that can be used by everyone. Nokia is targeting a large market share, where every mobile phone made can be obtained by many people and with a design that is not inferior to other brands. One of the famous mobile phones ever produced by Nokia is the Nokia 3310 series which in its time Nokia 3310 phone is very in demanded because of its good design and resiliency. Then in 2017 comes the new Nokia 3310 series featuring a more modern design with a more developed specification than the previous Nokia 3310 series with the intention to hook the Nokia consumers who miss the Nokia 3310 but still feel the phone is not outdated. This research is a qualitative research based on the application of product design principles at Nokia 3310 - 2017.Keywords: tranformation, design, celuller phone, interest, market, spesification

The Way

<p>In the last two decades there has been an exponential increase in worldwide computer use, followed by a similar expansion in mobile phone usage. There are a number of factors caused this increase: technological advances in functionality, the migration of computer use from work to the home environment,  increased accessibility of data through the increased capacity of search engines and the rapid growth in popularity of social media websites after 2004.  The exponential growth of mobile phone use followed a similar but more rapid trajectory and the user base expanded in emerging economies when 3G mobile phone technologies provided internet access. There has been a major shift in the way people communicate particularly the exponential increase in the use of social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Skype and Baibu. Sites such as iTunes and YouTube have changed the way music and video are accessed, listened to and used. Changing patterns of technology use have had a major impact on the way people conduct their lives and have impacted significantly on leisure activities in both developed and emerging economies: the types of activities and the way those activities are pursued in both at home and when people travel.<ins cite="mailto:ITS" datetime="2015-06-08T09:11"></ins></p>

Consumer Decision Making

The market is a complex system with many different stakeholders and interactions. A number of decisions within this system affect the design of new products, not only from design teams but also from consumers, producers, and policy-makers. Market systems studies have shown how profit-optimal producer decisions regarding product design and pricing can influence a number of different factors including the quality, environmental impact, production costs, and ultimately consumer demand for the product. This study models the ways that policies and consumer demand combine in a market systems framework to influence optimal product design and, in particular, product quality and environmental sustainability. Implementing this model for the design of a mobile phone case shows how different environmental impact assessment methods, levels of taxation, and factors introduced to the consumer decision-making process will influence producer profits and overall environmental impacts. This demonstrates how different types of policies might be evaluated for their effectiveness in achieving economic success for the producer and reduced environmental impacts for society, and a “win-win” scenario was uncovered in the case of the mobile phone.

This research provides an exploration into the influence of mobile apps and mobile devices on the design of products. It forms the initial part of a longitudinal study on the use smartphone applications in product design. The research provides a review of how mobile device design has changed as well as the usage of mobile devices. The primary data was collected by using a structured questionnaire targeted at different stakeholders such as sales, developers and users. The research reviewed the design of the mobile phone as the product in question. Findings show that mobile apps have had an influence on the design of products however; technology has driven this change, not apps themselves. The research contributes to the understanding of the relation between product design and usage of complementary products.
