Studies on Human Computer Interface Design of Chinese Mobile Phone Users

In present paper, we briefly presented a series researches from our lab which investigated font size, different pairings of font and background color on Chinese users' ability to effectively read messages and navigate a Chinese mobile phone interface. The findings of the studies from our lab may generalize from mobile phone message reading and menu operation to other circumstances where there is a small screen interface, such as mobile web interfaces, palmtop computers, and electronic dictionaries and other mobile e-learning devices. The results had significant implications on interface design of mobile small screen devices and mobile e-learning devices.
