Design of EPG Information Architecture on Digital TV based on User's Experience

사용자 경험에 기초한 디지털 TV EPG 채널 정보구조 설계

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.
