摘要

近年來，由於社會的需求，電腦已成爲現代人生活的一部份，而生活的富裕使人們愈來愈重視生活休閒活動，且隨著電子科技的進步，休閒娛樂的方式也更加的多元化，因此利用電腦週邊來從事休閒活動的人數亦愈來愈多，其中有不少的人是利用電腦週邊掌上型控制器來從事遊戲的介面操作。據掌上型控制器行銷專題報告稱，目前市面上較常被使用的掌上型控制器有四種。
因此，本專題研究將以人因工程的角度，選擇以上較常使用四種控制器，分別以不同整體體積大小及不同造形設計，甄選男生、女生各六名爲實驗對象，隨機抽樣進行同一電腦遊戲越南大戰（二）軟體，以連續擊發動作，經由肌電儀訊號(EMG)和指力計訊號（荷重感應器）的物理儀器檢測並進行主觀評量自感問卷調查，經SAS統計整理分析，發現以“整體體積小且握把型設計”的掌上型控制器較爲省力。將提供給相關業者參考，進而可做爲未來使用控制器的設計參考方向。

In the recent years, as to the social requirement the computer has become part of modern life. With the abundant of living, the people consider the leisure life being more and more important. With the progress of electronic technology, the way people to take the leisure life become more and more variety hence by using the computer peripheral to assist people to make pleasure is becoming more and more popular. Among them, there are a lot of people utilize the PC game pad as the machine manipulation interface. According to the pc game pad marketing project report, in the current market there are 4 types of pc game pad been ranked as top 4 most popular models.
Hence in this project, from the view point of Ergonomics, we select these 4 popular models for experiment. These 4 types are differentiated by their overall volume and modeling design. We also select students, 6 for male and female each, for this experiment to manipulating the pc game pad. They will randomly select the pc game pad model and perform the same pc game-Vietnam War (Ⅱ), by continuously trigging the striking key. The motion of muscles will be detected by the physical instruments and acquired via signals of EMG and finger force meter (Load Cell Sensor). In the meantime, we perform a subjective evaluation questionnaire survey for every testing student to collect their perception on using the pc game pad. The collected data were analyzed by using the SAS software, and we found the pc game pad which ”has smaller volume and with handle design” needs less force to trigger. This result shall be valuable reference for the relevant manufacturer for improving their future design.
