随着具有RFID标签的家用电器和设备数量的增加，需要考虑到居民的情况来有效地组织智能家居接口。以往的研究信息分组和认知风格的文化差异对绩效的影响产生了混合的结果。性别通常没有被考虑，也没有主观偏好被衡量。我们测试了四个参与者组（美国和韩国的男性和女性）和两个接口分组（功能和空间）。参与者执行的任务，需要定位控制特定的设备/功能，之后，他们评级的接口上的几个尺度。美国男性倾向于功能性组织，而韩国和美国女性倾向于空间性组织。结果与韩国人对主位结构的偏好以及男性和女性的认知风格在男性化/个人主义文化中存在差异的观点一致（美国）。但在女性/集体主义文化中却没有（韩国）。潜在的应用包括物理（例如，电源和壁装开关）和虚拟交互（例如，远程控制、GUI/Web/电话）。(c)2012 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Increases in the number of household appliances and devices with RFID tags have created a need for efficient organization of smart-home interfaces in consideration of residents. Previous studies of information-grouping and cultural-differences in cognitive style on performance have yielded mixed results. Gender has not typically been considered, nor have subjective preferences been measured. We tested four participant groups (American and Korean males and females) and two interface groupings (functional and spatial). Participants performed tasks that required locating controls for specific devices/functions, after which they rated the interfaces on several scales. American males preferred the functional organization, but Koreans and American females tended to prefer the spatial organization. The results are consistent with Koreans' preference for thematic-structure and the view that men's and women's cognitive styles differ in masculine/individualistic cultures (U.S.) but not in feminine/collectivistic cultures (Korea). Potential applications include physical (e.g., power and wall-mounted switches) and virtual interactions (e.g., remote controls, GUI/Web/Phone). (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
