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.

创新作为业务竞争力的核心工具需要开发与用户相关的产品，并要求定期评估开发目标和实际用户需求。过去，在其原型传播过程中，已经建立了用户整合和 - 参与的方法，作为支持通信过程的足够手段。但是，用户与设计师之间在产品，功能以及相应的原型表示方面的解释机制上的差异迄今为止很少研究。但是，对这些过程的理解似乎是必要的，以免误解和误解，因此需要有效地将用户的信息整合到开发过程中。识别，结构和评估影响固有通信过程的变量似乎特别有益。目的是阐明从用户和设计师对原型设计中考虑原型的解释，从原型的解释中进行了哪些特征，边界条件，干扰和滤波器变量。这使设计人员能够准确地运输一组特定的信息，以补偿解释中的相互差异，从而以目标为导向和有效的方式记录用户反馈，并使其正确地为开发过程提供了信息。
