Interview questions (high-energy display control panel design)

What we designed is a device that visualizes the energy consumption of the home. Its function is to display the usage time of each appliance through a panel through emoji. Do you think he should have the function of controlling each appliance?

What is the meaning of emoji? ID (identity)? status?

If you need a way to reflect the changes in emoji? Are you more inclined to move the emoji position to another specific area on the screen? Or is the state of emoji itself changing (for example, getting bigger/jumping/sound feedback, etc.)?

In order to show what appliances each emoji represents, put the name of the appliance under the emoji, do you think that such a design is acceptable?

(There should be a control function "has the meaning of ID and status at the same time"). Our design is divided into three parts on this panel. The three parts are the running home appliances, the home appliances that are not running, the current power-on time. Long home appliances. How do you think that the three parts will increase the amount of experience used? other suggestion?

(There should be a control function "has the meaning of ID and state at the same time"). Our design is that the three parts will display the corresponding content, and they can be dragged to achieve the corresponding operation, for example, from on to off, from high Energy consumption to off. If it is such an operation, do you think they are arranged vertically or horizontally?

(There should be a control function "has the meaning of ID and state at the same time") The same is the operation, what do you think their order should be? For example, the first type, the home appliance that is used for a long time, the home appliance that is not running, and the normal power-consuming home appliance that is running. The reason for this arrangement is that high-energy appliances and normal-operating appliances can only move one step, and they turn off and reduce operational errors, but they are not arranged in the order of common sense. The second, the order is the use of long-term home appliances, normal operating appliances, and home appliances that are not running. This is arranged according to people's common sense order, but if it is dragged from high energy consumption to no running state, it will pass through the normal running part of the middle, which is prone to operational errors. In addition to these two examples, what other arrangements do you have?

(There should be a control function "only the meaning of the state") Our design decided to choose an emoji to represent the appliance, and the screen will be divided into two areas, one is the running appliance, the other is the sleep state of the appliance, in the sleep state The next emoji will show a sleeping emoji, emoji will show a happy emoji in normal operation. Please select one of the following emoji as a happy emoji placed in the area of ​​the running appliance: 😀😃😄1😁😆😊🙂🙃😉😌😍🥰😘😗😙😚😋😛😝🤓😜🤪😎1🤩🥳😏🤤🤠 Please select one of the emoji below as the emoji placed in hibernation: 😴1 1😪 🤤

(There should be control functions) Below is the emoji we chose to show the long-term use of the appliance; 😒😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠😡🤬🤯🥵😱😨😰😈🤢🤮🤒🤕🤑🤧 Do you think you can use these emojis to represent current high-energy appliances?

(There should be control functions.) Below is the running emoji we chose to indicate normal power consumption; 😀😃😄😁😆😊🙂🙃😉😌😍🥰😘😗😙😚😋😛😝🤓😜🤪😎🤩🥳😏🤤🤠 Do you think you can use these emojis to indicate the current running power of the normal appliance?

(There should be control function) If you turn the emoji of the running appliance into gray, do you think it can be used to indicate that there is no running home appliance?

(There should be control functions.) In order to meet a wider range of needs, we use the icon of the home appliance as an alternative to emoji. Do you think that this design can show what each icon shows?

(There should be control) Do you think this panel should be set in a fixed position? Or should it be designed to be mobile? why?

(There should be control function) If there is a home appliance with a long power-on time, we design to remind you by sound/dynamic (bigger, beating, discoloration) reminder. Do you think it should be reminded? If you think this device should be mobile, should he have a vibrating feature to aid the reminder.

(There should be no control function.) Our design is divided into three parts on this panel. The three parts are the running home appliances, the home appliances that are not running, and the current high energy-consuming appliances. How do you think that the three parts will increase the amount of experience used? For example, arranged vertically and horizontally

(There should be no control function) Below is the emoji we chose to show high energy consumption; 😒😞😔😟😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😩🥺😢😭😤😠😡1🤬🤯🥵😱😨😰😈🤢🤮🤒🤕🤑🤧 Do you think you can use these emojis to represent current high-energy appliances?

(There should be no control function.) Below is the running emoji we chose to indicate normal power consumption; 😀😃😄😁😆😊🙂🙃😉😌😍🥰😘😗😙😚😋😛😝🤓😜🤪😎🤩🥳😏🤤🤠 Do you think you can use these emojis to indicate the current running power of the normal appliance?

(There should be no control function.) If the emoji of the running appliance is grayed out, do you think it can be used to indicate that there is no running appliance?

(There should be no control function.) In order to show what appliances each emoji represents, put the name of the appliance under emoji. Do you think that such a design is acceptable?

(There should be no control function.) In order to meet a wider range of needs, we use the icon of the home appliance as an alternative to emoji. Do you think that this design can show what each icon specifically shows? (There should be no control function) Do you think this panel should be set in a fixed position? Or should it be designed to be mobile? why?

(There should be no control function.) If there is a high-energy-consuming home appliance, we design a reminder by means of a voice reminder. Do you think it should be reminded? If you think this device should be mobile, should he have a vibrating feature to aid the reminder.

Summarize what the interface wants to see: the time of use of each appliance / the number of warnings
