UCD thought: a brief discussion on the design of the screen switching

Article Description: all must give force--talk about the mobile client's screen switch design comment.

With the development of technology and user experience, more and more mobile client products need the design of the screen switching. The design of rotation switch in the same screen can meet the needs of the users in an ideal situation. But there are also a lot of times, the user action and screen changes in the change in the number of screens determines the client products in the design must make appropriate specific changes, so for the interactive design, change, how to become a universal problem.

Application background

First of all, from the background of the need to switch the context of the production.

The switch strategy was first applied to the mobile phone with a QWERTY-Sideslip keyboard-key (early Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile Intelligent operating platform), users need to use the keyboard input to 90 degrees to use the mobile phone, so the screen content will also be switched. Such a design has unique advantages in terms of operability, especially in terms of input text and other controls, and can have a higher efficiency and a better input experience than a simple touch screen. And with the Android platform's big heat, this sideslip all keyboard key design also ushered in another burst.

The application of gravity sensors in mobile devices allows users to freely and flexibly realize the automatic switching of horizontal and vertical screens. This kind of technology is better to meet the needs of users, in addition to the mobile phone in the direction of the screen to determine the situation (such as games, videos, photos, browsing, etc.), in different use scenarios, both display methods can bring a better experience, such as vertical screen has a higher efficiency of the rolling screen, Can meet the needs of the user browsing long list content, while the horizontal screen means to get a wider visual space to show more content.

To sum up, vertical and horizontal screen switching design applications include: QWERTY keyboard input text, the direction of the user handheld and mobile client content presents the particularity. In order to achieve the goal of providing a better interactive experience, the interaction design must also keep pace with the times, and the switch of the screen is integrated into the design as part of the whole interaction.
