Abstract

Whenever a user performs a task or communicates via their computer or device, they are guided by visual cues to interact successfully with the interface. This human-computer interaction is, therefore, mediated by the communication established between designer and user through the texts, graphic elements, and animations that make up the visual design of the interface. Animation is an element of visual language of the graphical elements of an interface. This study aims to establish the functions of animation. We reviewed the literature and discussed the shortcomings identified in the existing taxonomies of functional animation. We then proposed an updated classification, partly inspired by the functions presented in Jakobson’s communication model. Based on a content analysis of the design guidelines from the leading mobile phone developers and comparing these sources, we propose the following list of categories: Identifying, Structural, Guide, Feedback, Didactic, Esthetic, and Emotive. This new taxonomy aims to contribute to the theoretical frameworks used in visual communication when studying interface design. It will be useful, for example, to help detect, classify, and assess the appropriateness of animations based on the functions they provide to an interface.
人机界面设计中的交流功能:功能动画的分类
每当用户通过计算机或设备执行任务或进行通信时,他们都会受到视觉提示的引导,从而成功地与界面进行交互。因此,这种人机交互是由设计师和用户之间通过文本、图形元素和动画建立的沟通来调解的,这些沟通构成了界面的视觉设计。动画是界面图形元素中视觉语言的一种元素。本研究旨在确立动画的功能。我们回顾了文献,并讨论了在现有的功能性动画分类中发现的缺点。然后,我们提出了一个更新的分类,部分灵感来自雅各布森的通信模型中提出的功能。基于对领先手机开发者的设计指南的内容分析,并比较这些来源,我们提出了以下类别列表:识别,结构,指导,反馈,教学,美学和情感。这个新的分类旨在为研究界面设计时视觉传达中使用的理论框架做出贡献。例如,它可以根据动画为界面提供的功能来帮助检测、分类和评估动画的适当性。

期刊介绍: Review of Communication Research will publish an annual volume with comprehensive and authoritative reviews of the current state of the main topics and the most significant developments in the field of Communication. These comprehensive critical reviews will summarize the latest advances in the field, but also will root out errors and will provoke intellectual discussions among scholars. The journal seeks both evaluative (theorical) and quantitative (meta-analysis) papers that make a state of the art of issues in scientific communication. Integrative review articles that connect different areas of research are of special interest.
