Innovation as a central instrument for business competitiveness requires the development of user-relevant products and calls for a regular assessment of development goals and actual user needs. In the past, methods for user-integration and -participation have been established accordingly, in the course of which prototypes are propagated as adequate means to support the communication process. However, differences in the interpretation mechanisms between users and designers regarding the products, their functionalities, and corresponding prototypical representations have seen little research so far. Yet, an understanding of these processes seems necessary to avoid misinterpretations and consequently misdevelopments and is needed to effectively integrate information from the user into the development process. It seems to be particularly beneficial to identify, structure, and evaluate the variables affecting the inherent communication process. The objective is to clarify which charac-teristics, boundary conditions, disturbances, and filter variables from the interpretation of prototypes by users and designers to consider in the design of prototypes. This enables the designer to transport a specific set of information accurately, to compensate for mutual differences in interpretation, and thus to record user-feedback in a goal-oriented and valid way and to let it correctly inform the development process.

创新作为企业竞争力的核心手段，需要开发与用户相关的产品，并要求定期评估发展目标和实际用户需求。在过去，用户集成和参与的方法已经相应地建立起来，在此过程中，原型作为支持通信过程的适当手段被传播。然而，用户和设计师之间的解释机制的差异，对产品，其功能，以及相应的原型表示，到目前为止，很少看到的研究。然而，对这些过程的理解似乎是必要的，以避免误解，从而错误的发展，并需要有效地将信息从用户到开发过程。它似乎是特别有益的识别，结构，并评估影响固有的沟通过程的变量。目的是澄清用户和设计师在原型设计中要考虑的原型解释的特征、边界条件、干扰和过滤变量。这使设计师能够准确地传输一组特定的信息，以补偿解释中的相互差异，从而以面向目标和有效的方式记录用户反馈，并让它正确地通知开发过程。
