【 摘 要 】

Based on context awareness and FAST (Function Analysis System Technique) theory, this paper explored the needs of elderly users and designed an intelligent medicine box for them to provide more comprehensive health services. It defined context through context analysis method, combined four context factors to obtain human-machine interaction model, and built a functional tree through the FAST theory to analyze product design factors and functional transformation forms. Finally, this paper established a product shape matrix upon functional combination and human-machine relationship, and selected the best design scheme. Through a practical application to a case, the validity of context awareness and FAST theory hybrid approach and their technical feasibility and effectiveness was demonstrated, and an accurate mapping relationship between objective product performance and user needs was formed.
