Abstract
Although the concept of usability has been well defined in the software usability engineering area, it is not appropriate to apply the same concept directly to the consumer electronic products. A new concept of usability appropriate for evaluating consumer electronic products was suggested in this study. It is characterized by integrating both the performance and impression factors. Based on the concept developed, specific usability attributes were defined and classified. In addition, the usability measures along with appropriate measurement techniques were also developed and classified to evaluate the usability attributes in an efficient and systematic manner. The results of this study can be used to evaluate the usability of consumer electronic products.
