隨身性電子產品已朝向可穿戴、配戴的方式,以符合個人化、隨身化、行動化的發展方向;其隨身攜帶合適性也日趨重要。未來智慧型行動電話將整合多樣功能,配合大螢幕設計其機身尺度有增加之趨勢。使用者如何適應智慧型行動電話尺度增加的攜帶方式,是本研究欲探討之目標。初步以問卷方式調查290位行動電話使用者攜帶行動電話時對尺度感受及考量之因素。第二階段採用問卷測試共80位,並挑選三款不同尺度型態差異之智慧型行動電話為測試樣本,以測試在使用者觀點下,其尺度與攜帶方式之合適性。結論如下:(1)性別、職業在攜帶方式上有顯著差異,且性別與職業在攜帶行動電話時尺度感受亦有顯著差異;而研究發現以攜帶角度來分析男性比女性更需要尺度小的行動電話。(2)目前行動電話之攜帶方式較符合厚度較大但長度及寬度較小之尺度型態;但厚型尺度型態不合適未來以大螢幕產品之需求,所以未來隨身攜帶方式應再設計創新。(3)各種攜帶方式中,以放置褲子後方口袋可接受較長尺度;放置胸前口袋及掛至腰上可接受較寬尺度;掛至胸前、放置上衣兩側口袋及褲子前方口袋可接受較厚尺度。(4)行動電話之攜帶考量因素以取用方便為第一考量,其次為攜帶舒適及不漏接電話;所以攜帶合適性應以使用面為優先考量。
The purpose of this dissertation is to probe how mobile phone users adapted themselves to ways of carrying the varied dimensions of smart phones. Initially, 290 mobile phone users were surveyed and asked about their feelings and consideration regarding the dimensions of the mobile phones they carry. In the second phase, three different dimensions of smart phone were used as samples to test 80 users’ viewpoints. After gathering the participants’ opinions towards the dimensions of mobile phones and most comfortable ways of carrying mobile phones, the conclusion of this research are: (1) Males require smaller dimension of mobiles. (2) The future ways of carrying mobile phones should be innovative and purposely designed. (3) Among ways of carrying mobile phones; people who put mobile phones in their back trouser pockets can accept longer dimensions. People who put mobile phones in the front of their top or shirt pocket or hanging around their waist can accept a wide dimension. People who hang mobile phones in front of their chest, in the front of their top or shirt pocket and in the front of their trouser pocket can accept wide dimensions. (4) The first consideration regarding ways of carrying mobile phones should be convenience.The second consideration is how comfortable the mobile phone is to carry and assurance to the user that they do not miss a call.
