數位相機已為成熟普及之3C產品,而數位相機在應用觸控面板技術後,開始提供即時影像操作之手繪功能。人性化的產品設計考量,讓觸控筆在數位相機上的使用與設計更顯的重要。本研究主要探討在數位相機外形限制之下,與數位相機收納結合上之最適尺寸,以及手繪功能所使用之觸控筆人因分析。在先期調查當中發現,不同年齡層受訪者對於相片編輯項目上的需求,除在繪圖部份以年輕族群需求更高於中高齡族群,在書寫部份是沒有差異的,而對於相片的記錄內容,「時間」、「地點」與「活動內容」則是所有年齡層受訪者需求最高者。 本研究主要透過探討年輕族群與銀髮族群使用觸控筆上之績效與主觀評量,來進行觸控筆設計之評估,做為未來設計師在設計數位相機觸控筆時的參考依據。研究以筆長、筆桿截面型式、筆尖型式三個不同構面來進行觸控筆之設計。實驗結果顯示:銀髮族群使用者,以圓筆桿型式、筆長80mm之觸控筆操作績效最好;年輕族群使用者則可以圓筆桿、混合型筆桿、扁平型筆桿,配合80mm之筆長做為觸控筆設計依據。此外,細筆尖在書寫操作上有較好之績效,繪圖上可以提供不同筆尖之觸控筆,做為使用手繪功能時與觸控面板上之筆畫有較好之匹配性。
Digital Camera has been developed for decades, and now it is a very common and popular 3C product. After the application of touch panel, digital camera began to provide real-time handwriting and drawing function. Because of the consideration for user friendly design, it is more and more important to emphasize the design and usability of digital camera stylus. This research aims at exploring the optimistic dimensions for stylus under the restriction of digital camera’s dimensions, matching stylus and digital camera suitably, and the ergonomic analysis of stylus. In former investigation, the result shows that young generation delights in drawing photos more than the elder, yet they both have the same requirement for handwriting when edit photos. This study is to estimate the performance and subjective evaluation of stylus operated by different age groups. There are three factors in stylus deign, and the result presents that stylus with 80mm-length and round type penholder provides the senior citizen best operating performance; and, stylus with 80mm-length and round type/ mixed type/ flat type matches the young generation’s demand. Besides, fine nib type stylus obtains better operating performance on handwriting; and, providing different stylus nibs can help match the pen brushes on touch screen.
