Abstract

The number of mobile phone users has been steadily increasing due to the development of microtechnology and human needs for ubiquitous communication. Menu design features play a significant role in cell phone design from the perspective of customer satisfaction. Moreover, small screens of the type used on mobile phones are limited in the amount of available space. Therefore, it is important to obtain good menu design. Review of previous menu design studies for human-computer interaction suggests that design guidelines for mobile phones need to be reappraised, especially 3D display features. We propose a conceptual model for cell phone menu design with 3D displays. The three main factors included in the model are: the number of items, task complexity, and task type.
