Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 410: Design criteria for physical input devices (ISO 9241-410:2008)

ISO 9241-410:2008 specifies criteria based on ergonomics factors for the design of physical input devices for interactive systems including keyboards, mice, pucks, joysticks, trackballs, trackpads, tablets and overlays, touch‑sensitive screens, styli and light pens, and voice- and gesture‑controlled devices. It gives guidance on the design of these devices, taking into consideration the capabilities and limitations of users, and specifies generic design criteria for physical input devices, as well as specific criteria for each type of device. Requirements for the design of products are given either as a result of context-free considerations, or else can be determined based on the specified design criteria for the intended use; such specified criteria generally having been subdivided into task‑oriented categories, wherever applicable.
ISO 9241-410:2008 does not specify the categories that are appropriate for devices as, according to the concept of usability, a product has no inherent usability. Selecting the category to which a certain property of a device belongs is subject to the design of a product.
ISO 9241-410:2008 is expected to be used by the manufacturers of physical input devices, including product designers and test organizations, in determining the design characteristics of a device for its intended context of use (user population, task, software or environment, etc.). The data generated by the users of ISO 9241-410:2007 for the description of the properties of their products can be applied in the selection of a device adequate for the actual context of use on the basis of the task primitives relevant for the task of the specific user population, and for achieving the required level of efficiency and effectiveness for a given system.

Die erforderliche Kategorie für die Auflösung kann bestimmt werden auf der Basis der Aufgaben¬merkmale, der Benutzerpopulation und des Nutzungskontextes für die vorgesehene Anwendung.
Dieser Teil von ISO 9241 bestimmt nicht die Kategorien die für Geräte angemessen sind, da ein Produkt entsprechend dem Gebrauchstauglichkeitskonzept keine inhärente Gebrauchstauglichkeit besitzt. Die Wahl der Kategorie für eine bestimmte Geräteeigenschaft ist Gegenstand der Produktgestaltung.
Dieser Teil von ISO 9241 ist vorgesehen für die Hersteller von physikalischen Eingabegeräten einschließlich Produktdesigner und Prüforganisationen, um die Gestaltungsmerkmale eines Gerätes für den vorgesehenen Nutzungskontext zu bestimmen (Benutzerpopulation, Aufgabe, Software oder Umgebung usw.).

Ergonomie de l'interaction homme-système - Partie 410: Critères de conception des dispositifs d'entrée physiques (ISO 9241-410:2008)

L'ISO 9241-410:2008 spécifie des critères en fonction de facteurs ergonomiques pour la conception des dispositifs d'entrée physiques pour systèmes interactifs comprenant les claviers, souris, curseurs à réticule, manettes, boules roulantes, pavés tactiles, tablettes et barres graphiques, écrans tactiles, stylets et photostyles, dispositifs à commande vocale, et dispositifs à commande gestuelle. Elle fournit des recommandations de conception de ces dispositifs qui tiennent compte des capacités et des limites des utilisateurs, et spécifie des critères de conception génériques pour les dispositifs d'entrée physiques, ainsi que des critères de conception spécifiques à chaque type de dispositif. Les exigences de conception des produits sont indiquées comme le résultat de réflexions sans contexte ou peuvent être déterminées en fonction des critères de conception spécifiés, adaptés à l'application prévue des produits; ces critères spécifiés sont généralement subdivisés en catégories axées sur les tâches, le cas échéant.
L'ISO 9241-410:2008 ne spécifie pas les catégories appropriées aux dispositifs car, selon le concept d'utilisabilité, l'utilisabilité inhérente d'un produit n'existe pas. La sélection de la catégorie à laquelle appartient une propriété donnée d'un dispositif dépend de la conception d'un produit.
L'ISO 9241-410:2008 est destinée à être utilisée par les fabricants de dispositifs d'entrée physiques, notamment les concepteurs de produits et les organismes d'essais, pour déterminer les caractéristiques de conception du dispositif dans le contexte d'utilisation prévu (la population d'utilisateurs, la tâche, le logiciel ou l'environnement, etc.). Les données générées par les utilisateurs de l'ISO 9241-410:2008 pour décrire les propriétés de leurs produits peuvent être utilisées pour sélectionner le dispositif approprié au contexte d'utilisation réel, déterminé par les tâches élémentaires pertinentes pour la tâche exécutée par la population d'utilisateurs spécifique. Ces données peuvent également être utilisées pour atteindre le niveau d'efficience et d'efficacité requis pour un système donné.

Ergonomija medsebojnega vpliva človek-sistem - 410. del: Merila za oblikovanje naprav za vnos podatkov (ISO 9241-410:2008)

Ta del standarda ISO 9241 določa kriterije na osnovi ergonomičnih faktorjev za načrtovanje naprav za fizični vnos podatkov za interaktivne sisteme, vključno s tipkovnicami, miškami, ploščki, igralnimi palicami, sledilnimi kroglicami, sledilnimi ploščicami, tablicami in prevlekami, zasloni na dotik, pisali ter napravami z glasovnim nadzorom in nadzorom s kretnjami. Podaja navodila za načrtovanje teh naprav, pri čemer upošteva zmožnosti in omejitve uporabnikov ter določa splošne kriterije načrtovanja za naprave za fizični vnos podatkov ter tudi določene kriterije za posamezno vrsto naprave. Zahteve za načrtovanje izdelkov so podane kot rezultat vidikov brez konteksta ali so določene na osnovi določenih kriterijev načrtovanja za predvideno uporabo; takšni določeni kriteriji so običajno razdeljeni na opravilno usmerjene kategorije, kjer je to primerno. Zahtevano kategorijo za ločljivost je mogoče določiti na osnovi lastnosti opravila, populacije uporabnikov in konteksta uporabe za predvideno uporabo. Ta del standarda ISO 9241 ne določa kategorij, ki ustrezajo napravam, ker glede na koncept uporabnosti izdelek nima temeljne uporabnosti. Izbira kategorije, ki ji pripada določena lastnost naprave, je odvisna od načrtovanja izdelka. Ta del standarda ISO 9241 naj bi uporabljali proizvajalci naprav za fizični vnos podatkov, vključno z načrtovalci izdelkov in organizatorji preskusov, in sicer za določanje lastnosti načrtovanja naprave za predviden kontekst uporabe (populacija uporabnikov, opravilo, programska oprema ali okolje itd.). Podatke ki jih generirajo uporabniki tega dela standarda ISO 9241 za opis lastnosti svojih izdelkov, je mogoče uporabiti pri izbiri naprave, ki ustreza dejanskemu kontekstu uporabe glede na osnove opravila, pomembne za opravilo določene uporabniške populacije ter za doseganje zahtevane ravni učinkovitosti in uspešnosti danega sistema.

ISO 9241-410:2008(E) iv © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 9241-410 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction. This first edition of ISO 9241-410, together with ISO 9241-400, ISO 9241-4111), ISO 9241-4201) and ISO 9241-4211), partially replaces ISO 9241-4:1998 and ISO 9241-9:2000, technically revised as follows: ⎯ terms and definitions from ISO 9241-4 and ISO 9241-9 have been transferred to ISO 9241-400; ⎯ all guiding principles have been incorporated into ISO 9241-400 and unified so that they correspond to the scope of the new ISO 9241 series; ⎯ these principles are applied in ISO 9241-410 in order to generate provisions for product design. ⎯ an application procedure has been specified in ISO 9241-410, for reasons related to the structure of the “400” subseries of ISO 9241 and its usability- rather than property-based nature;
⎯ for greater convenience, a separate normative annex covering each of the different devices, as well as an informative annex addressing issues related to accessibility, have been included in ISO 9241-410. ISO 9241 consists of the following parts, under the general title Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs): ⎯ Part 1: General introduction ⎯ Part 2: Guidance on task requirements ⎯ Part 3: Visual display requirements ⎯ Part 4: Keyboard requirements ⎯ Part 5: Workstation layout and postural requirements

ISO 9241-410:2008(E) vi © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved Introduction Input devices are a means for users to enter data into interactive systems. Generally speaking, an input device is a sensor that can detect changes in user behaviour (gestures, moving fingers, etc.) and transform it into signals to be interpreted by the interactive system. An input device is regarded as the combination of hardware with the software designed to use it (e.g. a driver). This part of ISO 9241 defines design criteria for products on the basis of relevant properties of physical input devices as laid down in ISO 9241-400:2007. It is intended to cover assessment methods for laboratory use (in order to accelerate future development of test and evaluation methods) and user organizations in future parts of ISO 9241. Most of the principles presented in this part of ISO 9241 have previously been defined or outlined in International Standards for keyboards and other input devices (ISO 9241-4 and ISO 9241-9). Where necessary, definitions of terms have been reformulated so that they are applicable for all input devices. ISO 9241 was originally developed as a seventeen-part International Standard on the ergonomics requirements for office work with visual display terminals. As part of the standards review process, a major restructuring of ISO 9241 was agreed to broaden its scope, to incorporate other relevant standards and to make it more usa
