Abstract

This study is about the TV Electronic Program Guide (EPG) design to which Perceived Information Architecture (PIA) based on user-experience is applied. The function-oriented information architecture is not friendly for user to search channels, while Multi-channels of EPG system provides users with opportunities to select a variety of channels. Because the menu structure of EPG user interface system is not compatible with the user experience. Therefore, this study presented a user-experience-based methodology and proposed a new solution for the information architecture of user-centered EPG system design.

본 연구는 사용자의 경험에 의해 형성된 인지된 정보구조를 TV EPG 시스템에 적용한 것이다. EPG 시스템은 사용자에게 다양한 TV프로그램 시청 기회를 제공하는 반면에 기능 중심의 정보구조는 사용자가 원하는 채널 탐색 시 어려움을 가중시켰다. 이와 같은 이유는 EPG 시스템의 UI가 사용자의 인지된 정보구조와 일치하지 않은 메뉴정조를 제공하고 있기 때문이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 사용자 경험 중심의 방법론 제시하였고, 사용자 중심의 EPG 시스템의 정보구조 설계 방향을 제안하였다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 디지털 TV 전자 프로그램 가이드 설계를 위한 새로운 접근방법론에 기여할 것이다.
