Abstract

The fast development of Chinese architecture market and the smart home business have caused works on user research in smart home environment to be growing rapidly. Nonetheless, there are some problems related to product in use; and in this paper, we examine two problems that are present in smart home controllers from a user survey: one is the difficult in use for the Elderly; and the other is the complex operations for Nannies. Based on this we have examined and devised two prototypes designed for those two types of users; as well as the task sheet evaluation.
