However some users have found the problems of the existing moblog, so they become not interested in it and would never like to use it any more. On the other hand, there have been many researches focusing on interface of mobile devices, but there are few researches paying attention to problems of moblog. The objective of the research is to discuss the user’s interface mode of moblog so as to understand demand on moblog’s interface function and discuss the interface and practicality of blog which can meet demand of users. The research is made of two main parts; with the aim of collecting moblog design principle, the first part is the investigation on “Operation Mode of Current Mobile Blog” and "Design Principle of Small Screen Mobile Devices", both of which were studied previously. The second part is the investigation on problems of current moblog by questionnaire and interview, which puts forward five major problems after statistics and sorting; the problems can be the reference for moblog design in the future by integrating first part’s collection of the research. The major problems include: (1) Problem on Login Page, (2) Problem on My Vlog Page, (3) Problem on Message Board, (4) Stratification Problem of Home Page and Subpage, (5) Problem of Uploading Audio-Video Files. The research brought up two sets of experimental webpage design project based on the problems and concerned design principles, and then some testees accepted the tests on login task, upload task, watching and leaving message task and task of searching pictures of tour spots for the two experimental projects respectively. After the experiment finished, we used t test to see whether there is any subjective assessment variance or error rate on the two sets of webpage and used the interview result as the objective assessment variance. And the result shows: (1) Login key of moblog should be set independently in a page with an enlarged icon (2) Home page menu of the moblog should be list-style with description of some small icons. (3) As for the upload page of moblog, all steps should be arranged in a same page in an order. (4) Options of subpage should be in button-style with integration of illustration and description and space among options should be enlarged. (5) After watching a movie, the available options should present on the page directly and users won’t have to operate them in anther page. (6) With regard to searching tour spots and person number mark, they will be much clearer by text description options. (7) The available buttons should be listed together after users watch pictures so that users can use them conveniently. |
