Interactive design experience: Making mobile Internet products talk

Article Description: chance of an opportunity a certain application of the hint window caught my attention, I found that many products in some of the user's hint text settings still exist some of these can be optimized space, below we will look at these.

In recent months, a lot of attention has been focused on mobile internet products, only to find that they are almost out. A lot of novelty, fun and practical applications appear on the phone, I see dazzling, ecstatic. Almost every day you find new applications to experience and then delete the worst. Normally, no matter whether the application is useful to me personally, as long as the product itself is not bad I will stay, so that the hand to buy 3 months not to the Android phone inside is equipped with near hundreds application.

Chance of an opportunity a certain application of the hint window caught my attention, I found that many products in some of the user's hint text settings still exist some of these can be optimized space, below we will look at these.

Emphasizing the language environment

Here is the dialog that caught my attention, and I don't know if anyone else feels the same way.

Above is the Auto House Android client, a prompt window that appears when you click "Back". I think the wrong place is "friendship tips" these four words. Do not know what the meaning of "friendship hint" in our consciousness. In my opinion, "friendly tips" is usually the given message that is not directly related to the product, but can benefit the user. Obviously the hint here is very necessary, and is directly related to the product itself and between the user, so use these four words is not appropriate.

The unity of the use of words

Auto House exit hint text there is actually a place to optimize, that is, "really" word. If asked, "Do you really want to go on vacation?" "Will you answer Me" OK "? No. The most likely answer is "true", "yes" or "go", the QQ Sync Assistant's prompt text is more appropriate.

Let's look at the following example:

Message interface Click the "menu" button after "delete" and "Empty All Messages", click "Empty all Messages" after the prompt window is actually "delete" and asked is also "are you sure you want to delete?" "The previous interface called this operation" empty "and later called it" Delete, "which is obviously inappropriate.

Short

Because the screen of the handset is small, the content that can present is very few at once, we will hate those who occupy the entire Mobile Phone Screen dialog box, so improve the efficiency of dialog box interaction is more necessary. Reducing the amount of user text reading is an easy and effective method. The question above can be simplified as follows: Will the network connection continue?

Look at the above two, the left of this title has been written is to quit me to check, so the following completely do not need to "I check", "Confirm" and "immediately" are more redundant. Right this is even more bloated, users really do not care whether to apologize, but also with two "you." Compress: "Link failed, please check network settings and try again." ”

Quick Understanding

A number of exit prompts to the front of the window, you may find that, in fact, most of the people who play more familiar with the mobile phone usually just see the title and the button to be selected "exit" to understand the meaning of this dialog box, almost will not read the middle text. and the title only write "hint", the choice of button is "OK" in case there will be more users to read the middle text. So embedding keywords in headings and options can also improve user productivity.

The interaction is the product and the user's dialogue, the text is the product main language. A good product will use its own language optimization experience. Users will not care about how polite the product speech is, how rich the language is, and how easy and efficient they are.
