Design Method of UI of AV Remote Controller Based on AHP

This paper proposes a new model for designing the user interface of an audio-visual remote controller based on an analytic hierarchy process. This model has the goal of switching the UI of the controller to one optimized for each user. The following four criteria were defined; demographic, geographic, psychographic and activity, sensor and I/O, Visual, Functional and Interaction interfaces were selected as the alternatives. Next, the method of selecting the most suitable UI for each user by using the proposed model based on AHP is described and shown by an example. Finally, the implementation of the proposal into a verification system for an AV remote controller using an embedded microprocessor for consumer use is described.
