ISO 9241 is a multi-part standard from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) covering ergonomics of human-computer interaction. It is managed by the ISO Technical Committee 159. It was originally titled Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs).^[1] From 2006 on, the standards were retitled to the more generic Ergonomics of Human System Interaction.^[2]

ISO 9241-210:2010 provides requirements and recommendations for human-centred design principles and activities throughout the life cycle of computer-based interactive systems. It is intended to be used by those managing design processes, and is concerned with ways in which both hardware and software components of interactive systems can enhance human–system interaction. The international standard on ergonomics of human system interaction, ISO 9241-210, defines user experience as 'a person's perceptions and responses that result from the use or anticipated use of a product, system or service'. According to the ISO definition, user experience includes all the users' emotions, beliefs, preferences, perceptions. ISO 9241-210 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction. This first edition of ISO 9241-210 cancels and replaces ISO, of which it constitutes a technical. ISO 9241-210:2019 Ergonomics of human-system interaction — Part 210: Human-centred design for interactive systems. Buy this standard Abstract Preview. This document provides requirements and recommendations for human-centred design principles and activities throughout the life cycle of computer-based interactive systems. It is intended to be. In the series, ergonomic requirements in different fields such as, for instance, software, screens, input devices, workplaces, environment and control rooms are specified. DIN EN ISO 9241-210 is thereby allocated to the field of processes of human-system interaction. DIN EN ISO 9241-210 will replace DIN EN ISO -11.

Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 210: Human-centred design for interactive systems (ISO 9241-210:2010) - SS-EN ISO 9241-210:2010This part of ISO 9241 provides requirements and recommendations for human-centred design principles and activities throughout the life cycle of computer-base.

As part of this change, ISO is renumbering some parts of the standard so that it can cover more topics, e.g. tactile and haptic interaction. For example, two zeros in the number indicate that the document under consideration is a generic or basic standard. Fundamental aspects are regulated in standards ending with one zero. A standard with three digits other than zero in the number regulate specific aspects.

The first part to be renumbered was part 10 (now renumbered to part 110).^[3] Part 1 is a general introduction to the rest of the standard. Part 2 addresses task design for working with computer systems. Parts 3–9 deal with physical characteristics of computer equipment. Parts 110 and parts 11–19 deal with usability aspects of software, including Part 110 (a general set of usability heuristics for the design of different types of dialogue) and Part 11 (general guidance on the specification and measurement of usability).

ISO 9241-210, Ergonomics of human-system interaction, provides guidance on human-system interaction throughout the life cycle of interactive systems.^[4]

With its introduction in 2008, it revised ISO 13407, Human-centred design for interactive systems.^[5]

ISO-9241-302, 303, 305, 307:2008 pixel defects[edit]

Of particular interest to the lay computer user are the definitions of flat-panel TV and monitor pixel defects provided in the ISO-9241-3xx series of standards (which renders obsolete ISO 13406-2). These identify three classes for measuring pixel defects in flat panel monitors:

• Class 0 panels are completely defect-free, including no full pixel or sub-pixel defects.
• Class 1 panels permit any or all of the following:
  • 1 full bright (“stuck on white”) pixel
  • 1 full dark (“stuck off”) pixel
  • 2 single or double bright or dark sub-pixels
  • 3 to 5 “stuck on” or “stuck off” sub-pixels (depending on the number of each)
• Class 2 panels permit any or all of the following:
  • 2 full bright pixels
  • 2 full dark pixels
  • 5-10 single or double bright or dark sub-pixels (again, depending on the number of each; no more than 5 bright (“stuck on”) subpixels are permitted).
• Class 3 panels permit any or all of the following:
  • 5 full bright pixels
  • 15 full dark pixels
  • 50 single or double sub-pixels stuck on or off

(allowed pixed defects per 1 (one) million pixels in the TFT/LCD matrix)

As of 2010, most premium branded panel manufacturers specify their products as Class 0, expecting a small number of returns due to early failure where a particular item fails to meet Class 0 but would meet Class 1. Budget panel manufacturers tend to specify their products as Class 1^{[citation needed]}. Most premium branded finished product manufacturers (retail TVs, monitors, Laptops, etc.) tend to specify their products as meeting Class 1 even when they have a Class 0 specified panel inside. Some premium branded finished product manufacturers have started to specify their products as Class 0 or offer a Class 0 guarantee for an additional premium.^[6][7][8]

• Updates on the new parts of ISO 9241 from Userfocus.co.uk

In commerce, user experience (UX) is a person's emotions and attitudes about using a particular product, system or service. It includes the practical, experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human–computer interaction and product ownership. Additionally, it includes a person's perceptions of system aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency. User experience may be subjective in nature to the degree that it is about individual perception and thought with respect to a system. User experience varies dynamically, constantly modifying over time due to changing usage circumstances and to changes to individual systems as well as to the wider usage context in which they operate. In the end, user experience is about how a user interacts with, and experiences, a product.

Definitions[edit]

The international standard on ergonomics of human system interaction, ISO 9241-210,^[1] defines user experience as 'a person's perceptions and responses that result from the use or anticipated use of a product, system or service'. According to the ISO definition, user experience includes all the users' emotions, beliefs, preferences, perceptions, physical and psychological responses, behaviors and accomplishments that occur before, during and after use. The ISO also list three factors that influence user experience: system, user and the context of use.

Note 3 of the standard hints that usability addresses aspects of user experience, e.g. 'usability criteria can be used to assess aspects of user experience'. The standard does not go further in clarifying the relation between user experience and usability. Clearly, the two are overlapping concepts, with usability including pragmatic aspects (getting a task done) and user experience focusing on users’ feelings stemming both from pragmatic and hedonic aspects of the system. Many practitioners use the terms interchangeably. The term usability pre-dates the term user experience. Part of the reason the terms are often used interchangeably is that, as a practical matter, a user will at minimum require sufficient usability to accomplish a task, while the feelings of the user may be less important, even to the user themselves. Since usability is about getting a task done, aspects of user experience like information architecture and user interface can help or hinder a user's experience. If a website has 'bad' information architecture and a user has a difficult time finding what they are looking for, then a user will not have an effective, efficient and satisfying search.

Iso Norm 9241 Teil 210

In addition to the ISO standard, there exist several other definitions for user experience.^[2] Some of them have been studied by Law et al.^[3]

History[edit]

Early developments in user experience can be traced back to the machine age that includes the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by the machine age intellectual framework, a quest for improving assembly processes to increase production efficiency and output led to the development of major technological advancements, such as mass production of high-volume goods on moving assembly lines, high-speed printing press, large hydroelectric power production plants, and radio technology to name a few.

Frederick Winslow Taylor and Henry Ford were in the forefront of exploring new ways to make human labor more efficient and productive. Taylor’s pioneering research into the efficiency of interactions between workers and their tools is the earliest example that resembles today’s user experience fundamentals.^{[citation needed]}

The term user experience was brought to wider knowledge by Donald Norman in the mid-1990s.^[4] He never intended the term 'user experience' to be applied only to the affective aspects of usage. A review of his earlier work ^[5] suggests that the term 'user experience' was used to signal a shift to include affective factors, along with the pre-requisite behavioral concerns, which had been traditionally considered in the field. Many usability practitioners continue to research and attend to affective factors associated with end-users, and have been doing so for years, long before the term 'user experience' was introduced in the mid-1990s.^{[citation needed]} In an interview in 2007, Norman discusses the widespread use of the term 'user experience' and its imprecise meaning as a consequence thereof.^[6]

Several developments affected the rise of interest in the user experience

1. Recent advances in mobile, ubiquitous, social, and tangible computing technologies have moved human-computer interaction into practically all areas of human activity. This has led to a shift away from usability engineering to a much richer scope of user experience, where users' feelings, motivations, and values are given as much, if not more, attention than efficiency, effectiveness and basic subjective satisfaction (i.e. the three traditional usability metrics^[7]).^[8]
2. In website design, it was important to combine the interests of different stakeholders: marketing, branding, visual design, and usability. Marketing and branding people needed to enter the interactive world where usability was important. Usability people needed to take marketing, branding, and aesthetic needs into account when designing websites. User experience provided a platform to cover the interests of all stakeholders: making web sites easy to use, valuable, and effective for visitors. This is why several early user experience publications focus on website user experience.^{[9][10][11][12]}

The field of user experience represents an expansion and extension of the field of usability, to include the holistic perspective of how a person feels about using a system. The focus is on pleasure and value as well as on performance. The exact definition, framework, and elements of user experience are still evolving.

User experience of an interactive product or a website is usually measured by a number of methods, including questionnaires, focus groups, and other methods. A freely available questionnaire (available in several languages) is the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ).^[13] The development and validation of this questionnaire is described in ^[14]

Google Ngram Viewer shows wide use of the term starting in the 1930s.,^[15] 'He suggested that more follow-up in the field would be welcomed by the user, and would be a means of incorporating the results of user's experience into the design of new machines.' Use of the term in relation to computer software also pre-dates Norman.^[16]

Influences on user experience[edit]

Many factors can influence a user's experience with a system. To address the variety, factors influencing user experience have been classified into three main categories: user's state and previous experience, system properties, and the usage context (situation).^[17] Understanding representative users, working environments, interactions and emotional reactions help in designing the system.

Momentary emotion or overall user experience[edit]

Single experiences influence the overall user experience:^[18] the experience of a key click affects the experience of typing a text message, the experience of typing a message affects the experience of text messaging, and the experience of text messaging affects the overall user experience with the phone. The overall user experience is not simply a sum of smaller interaction experiences, because some experiences are more salient than others. Overall user experience is also influenced by factors outside the actual interaction episode: brand, pricing, friends' opinions, reports in media, etc.

One branch in user experience research focuses on emotions. This includes momentary experiences during interaction: designing affective interaction and evaluating emotions. Another branch is interested in understanding the long-term relation between user experience and product appreciation. The industry sees good overall user experience with a company's products as critical for securing brand loyalty and enhancing the growth of customer base. All temporal levels of user experience (momentary, episodic, and long-term) are important, but the methods to design and evaluate these levels can be very different.
