Design Method of Matching Icon Utilization and Easy Search Rate in GUI

In order to further improve the interaction efficiency between users and GUI,considering the difference of search rate in different positions of icon panel,a design method of matching icon utilization and easy search rate is proposed.By designing icon search and click experiments,the relationship between easy search rate of8common style panels and location of icons is investigated.Firstly,the variance analysis of experimental results shows a significant difference in the easy search rate between different positions of GUI icon panel and different style panels.Then the grey-scale map of easy search rate is drawn,indicating that panel layout for the horizontal from left to right and vertical from top to bottom the easy search rate shows a downward trend,easy search rate of the maximum position in the horizontal is almost in the left side of the panel and the vertical position at the top.However,when the panel style is horizontal above,the minimum position is in the middle of the right side,and for horizontal down,on the far right;when the panel style is vertical,the minimum position is near the bottom of the panel.Verification results show that the use of design method of matching utilization and easy search rate can significantly improve the efficiency of GUI interaction.
