- Abstract
With today's rapidly aging society, there is concern about optimizing designs for elderly consumers. In this research, we perform Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analysis to study the colour satisfaction rate for smartphone interface icons and to determine whether there is a correlation with the colour semantics. In this experiment, we used questionnaires, the perceptual engineering image scale method and mathematical analysis. In three phases, we verified the icon colour satisfaction rate of elderly users and its correlation with colour semantics. The results indicate the relevance of and positive correlation between elderly users' satisfaction rates with the smartphone icon colours and colour semantics. Using this research methodology, the results can provide guidance on optimization research for the elderly man machine interface.
