The Research of Interactive APP Design Based on 3E-Mental Models
Abstract—The interactive design of APP products highlights the users’ experience based on meeting users’ needs, which is the important significance of researching the interaction design of an APP. However, there are still some problems in the interaction design of APP products, such as low target visibility, information hierarchy, complex interaction design, and so on. This paper uses the interdisciplinary research method to conduct in-depth research on users’ psychological, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics and constructs a "3E" mental model combined with network information behavior. Based on this model, nine interactive design principles are proposed. A reading APP is designed as a case, and the "3E" mental model and interaction design principles are applied to the interaction design of the case. The results show that the theory and method proposed in this paper play an important role in the interaction design of APP.
