Interaction design system

摘要

An interaction design system ( 12 ) may be used by a designer to design a user interface. The designer supplies the interaction design system with a domain model ( 22 ) that contains information characterizing an application in a domain, a user model ( 24 ) that contains information characterizing the users of the user interface, a task model ( 26 ) that contains task primitives to be performed between the user and the user interface and the type of information required by the task primitives, and a device model ( 28 ) that contains information characterizing the interaction delivery devices that are available to deliver the user interface. The interaction design system ( 10 ) then matches the interaction delivery devices in the device model ( 28 ) to the type of information required by the task primitives and to the information characterizing the users, matches presentation objects ( 30 ) to the task primitives and to the information of the domain model ( 22 ), and generates the user interface based on the matches ( 32 ).
