Abstract

Mobile phone consists of some input elements as its user interfaces for example keypad and navigator. Shape, layout, and dimension of the input elements determine the user interface configuration of mobile phone. The configuration of user interface may influence user comfort in using mobile phone. For that reason, it is important to understand the effect of various mobile phone’s user interface configurations to user comfort. This research investigates the effect of mobile phone’s user interface configurations on user comfort. First, this research collects some data related to shape, layout, and dimension of keypad and navigator of available mobile phones. Then, the data are synthesized to develop various alternatives of user interface configurations. Finally, a survey is conducted to investigate the effect of the developed configurations on user comfort. A questionnaire is spread among the user of QWERTY mobile phone as a survey. The result of the survey shows that some configurations are not preferred by the users because it is not comfortable according to them. However, the configurations that accommodate tight distance and square keypad with trackpad navigator provide the highest level of user comfort.
