Introduction

GB/T 18978, the national standard series on ergonomics, corresponds to the ISO 9241 series of international standards. It initially consisted of 17 parts.

This series of standards specifies ergonomic requirements for office work using visual display terminals. During international standard review, the ISO 9241 series was...

It has undergone significant adjustments, expanding its scope and incorporating other relevant standards to make it easier to use. The general title of ISO 9241 is "Human-System Interaction Engineering".

"Ergonomics" reflects the adjusted changes, ISO 9241 and the International Organization for Standardization's Technical Committee on Ergonomics, Human-System Interaction Ergonomics Subcommittee the name and scope of the technical committee (ISO/TC159/SC4) remain consistent. The revised series of standards is numbered in the hundreds.

The 100 series focuses on software interfaces, the.200 series on human-centered design, the 300 series involves visual displays, and the 400 series involves physical input.

Equipment, etc. Other ISO 9241 series standards not included in the "Hundred" series will continue to use their old numbering, such as the equivalent ISO 9241-11.

The.2018 national standard still uses the number GB/T 18978.11.An overview of the GB/T 18978 series can be found in Appendix A.

Corresponding to the ISO 9241 series of standards, the GB/T 18978 "Hundred" series of standards is proposed to consist of the following series.

---Series 100.Software Ergonomics. Its purpose is to identify processes and methods related to software ergonomics.

---Series.200.Human-centered design. Its purpose is to establish human-centered design principles throughout the entire lifecycle of an interactive system.

Provide requirements and suggestions for the event.

---300 Series. Monitors and monitor-related hardware. The aim is to provide methods for the ergonomic design and evaluation of visual displays.

Laws, compliance measures and guidelines.

---400 Series. Physical Input Devices. The purpose is to provide ergonomic design guidelines, selection procedures, and testing methods for input and output devices.

Evaluation methods.

---500 Series. Workspace. The aim is to provide ergonomic principles and methods for designing the spatial environment of interactive systems.

---600 Series. Environmental Ergonomics. Its purpose is to provide environmental ergonomic requirements and the impact of the environment on humans.

---700 Series. Control Room. The purpose is to provide requirements, recommendations, and guidance for the ergonomic design and evaluation of control room spaces.

---800 Series. Intelligent Systems. The purpose is to provide requirements, recommendations, and guidance for the ergonomic design and evaluation of intelligent systems.

---900 Series. Haptic and Tactile Interaction. The aim is to provide guidance for the design and evaluation of haptic and ergonomic interactions.

Personalization is implemented in various ways to improve the user experience of the application and enhance the application's brand. However, individual...

How personalization helps users presents numerous challenges due to its diverse implementation methods and numerous case studies. When users are using...

When dealing with different personalization methods in different applications, this becomes an even greater challenge.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for the application of software personalization in order to achieve the highest possible level of usability. Therefore, it will personalize...

The process involves modifying interactions and information presentation to suit the user's individual capabilities and needs. Personalization supports a wide range of users, tasks, and usage scenarios.

It is particularly useful in increasing accessibility.

This document addresses both user-initiated and system-initiated personalization issues, providing guidance on configuration, customization, adaptation, modification, and a summary analysis.

And the concept of internationalization.

This document is intended for the following users.

---Style guidelines used by interface designers; of user interface development tools;

---User interface designers will apply the guidelines during the development process;

---Developers will apply the guidelines during the design and implementation of system functions;

---System administrator responsible for implementing solutions to meet end-user needs;

---Buyer should refer to this document during the product procurement process;

---Evaluators are responsible for ensuring that the product conforms to this document.

The ultimate beneficiaries of this document are the end users of the software. Although the likelihood of end users reading this document is small, the designers and developers...

This document enables personnel, buyers, and appraisers to provide a more usable user interface through its use. This document relates to the development of user interface software.

However, hardware engineers involved in designing user interfaces may also find it useful when considering the interaction between software and hardware.

Human-System Interaction Ergonomics Part 129: Software Personalization Guidelines

1 Scope

This document provides personalized ergonomic guidelines for interactive systems, including recommendations on the following aspects.

---Personalized for situations that are suitable or unsuitable;

---How to apply personalization.

This document focuses on the personalization of the software user interface to support the needs of individual or specific team members.

This document does not offer recommendations for specific implementations of personalization mechanisms, but provides guidance on how to make various aspects of personalization available and seamless.

The guidelines for the obstacles do not specify which personalizations should be included in the system.

Note. Personalization depends on the design of the interactive system or the specific use case and the needs of that use case development.

This document addresses only the specific application within the context of designing a complete software system. It is not intended for standalone use, but rather for integration with...

Use together with other parts of ISO 9241-110:2020 and GB/T 18978 (all parts) applicable to the design of the target system.

Some of the guidelines in this document can also be applied to hardware user interfaces, as well as user interfaces that combine software and hardware.
