Introduction

The GB/T 18978 ergonomics series of national standards corresponds to the ISO 9241 series of international standards. It was initially composed of 17 parts. This series of standards provides ergonomic requirements for using visual display terminals for office work. During the review of international standards, the ISO 9241 series Significant adjustments have been made to expand the scope and include other relevant standards, making it easier to use. The overall title of ISO 9241 is "People-System Interaction". "Interoperability" reflects the changes after the adjustment. ISO 9241 remains consistent with the general title and scope of ISO /TC159/SC4.After the adjustment, more The series of standards composed of some standards are numbered with "hundred", among which the 100 series is the software interface and the.200 series is the human-centered design. Design, the 300 series involves visual displays, the 400 series involves physical input devices, etc. Other ISO 9241 series not included in the "Hundred" series Standards still use the old numbering. For example, this document is equivalent to ISO 9241-11.2018, and the numbering still uses GB/T 18978.11. Corresponding to the ISO 9241 series of standards, the GB/T 18978 "Hundred" series of standards is intended to be composed of the following series. ---100 series. software ergonomics. The aim is to identify processes and methods relevant to software ergonomics. ---200 Series. Human-centered design. The aim is to introduce human-centered design principles throughout the life cycle of interactive systems. and provide requests and suggestions for activities. ---300 series. monitors and monitor-related hardware. The purpose is to provide methods for the ergonomic design and evaluation of visual displays. laws, compliance measures and guidelines. ---400 series. physical input device. The purpose is to provide ergonomic design criteria, selection procedures, testing and assessment method. ---500 series. work space. The purpose is to provide ergonomic principles and methods for the design of interactive system space environment. ---600 Series. Environmental Ergonomics. The purpose is to give environmental ergonomic requirements and the impact of the environment on people. ---700 series. control room. The purpose is to provide requirements, recommendations and guidance for the ergonomic design and evaluation of controlled indoor locations. ---900 Series. Tactile and tactile interaction. The purpose is to provide guidance for the design and evaluation of tactile and tactile ergonomic interactions. The purpose of designing and evaluating the usability of systems, products and services is to ensure that users can use them effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily in specific use situations. Goals. This document explains how to interpret usability from the perspective of user experience and user satisfaction, emphasizing that usability depends on the user A specific use case for a system, product or service. This document explains how to interpret the elements within the definition of usability. “the ability of a system, product or system to The extent to which a service can be used by specific users to achieve specific goals effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily. " Note 1.In this document, usability is related to the interaction results of systems, products or services. Although appropriate product attributes ensure that the product can be used in a specific use situation is available in the product, but availability is not an attribute of the product as defined in this document. Note 2.The category of usability is more comprehensive than what people usually understand as "ease of use" or "user-friendliness". Availability is related to the following factors. ---In the period of regular and frequent use, users can achieve their goals effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily; ---In the learning stage, new users can start using a new system, product or service more effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily; ---In the non-frequent use stage, users can achieve their goals effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily every time they use the system again; ---Applicable to the widest range of user groups; ---Reduce the risk of incorrect use and corresponding adverse consequences; ---In the maintenance phase, users can complete maintenance effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily. Usability needs to be considered when designing and evaluating the interactivity of a system, product, or service for the following purposes. ---Development; ---purchase; ---Review or compare; ---Marketing and market research. Appendix A and Appendix B of this document explain the relationship between usability and other concepts or disciplines, such as usability and human-centered The relationship between design, ergonomics, human factors, human-centered quality, user experience, and quality (generally used in systems and software engineering) Tie. It also explains how to consider usability within different usage scenarios, and gives examples of application of usability methods. Human-system interaction ergonomics Part 11.Usability. Definitions and Concepts
