Ageing-appropriate adaptive electrotactile touch user interfaces in a translatory application

在消费品和工业品领域，增加了功能和视听指标，减少了实物控制要素。在直接直观地操纵触摸屏的基础上，人类最基本的感官之一--触觉--在很大程度上被忽视了。关于技术产品的信息目前几乎完全是以视听方式传播的，尽管还有其他未使用的感知渠道。结果，用户被迫处理一种越来越复杂的用户-机器操作方式，这最终导致感知和信息处理能力过载。由于知觉和认知能力随着年龄的增长而不断丧失，这就导致了过载过程的加速。在本研究项目中，研究了触觉知觉通道在机器操作过程中作为年龄函数的潜在缓解能力。本研究以触觉触觉使用者介面的设计为研究重点，探讨触觉触觉使用者介面与年龄及感觉运动效能之关系。在本研究项目中，考虑到不断增加的信息流，确定了用于电触觉触摸用户界面的功能编码的必要的和尚未存在的发现。应通过多模式信息传输支持触觉信息传输来缓解视觉感知通道，特别是老年人的视觉感知通道。根据用户的年龄和感知限制，通过实验研究确定缺失的设计参数，以优化人机交互，确保更舒适、更高效和更有效的人机交互。

In the field of consumer and industrial goods, there is an increase in functions and audiovisual indicators with a reduction in physical control elements. On the basis of the direct and intuitive manipulation of touch screens, one of the most basic senses of the human being, the haptic perception, is largely neglected. Information about technical products is currently almost exclusively transmitted audiovisually, although other unused channels of perception are available. As a consequence the user is forced to deal with a steadily more complex way of user-machine operation which finally leads to an overload of perceptional and informatory processing capacity. Because of the increasing loss of perceptional and cognitive performance with age it comes to accelerated overload processes.In this research project, the haptic perception channel is examined for its potential relief capacity during machine operation as a function of age. This research project focuses on the design of an electrotactile touch user interface as a function of age and sensorimotor performance. The necessary and not yet existing findings for the function coding of an electrotactile touch user interface are determined in the present research project taking into account the ever increasing flow of information. The visual perception channel, in particular of older people, should be relieved by supporting tactile information transmission by means of multimodal information transmission. Missing design parameters are specified through experimental research aiming at the optimization of human-machine interaction according to the user's age and perceptional limitation to ensure a more comfortable, efficient and effective human-machine interaction.
