The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out throug
23、h 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 collaborat
24、es 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 Standard
25、s. 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 thi

36、pplications themselves. The wide variety of different implementations includes many instances where individualization creates considerable challenges for the users that it ought to be helping. This becomes an even greater challenge when users have to deal with different individualization approaches
37、in each of the several applications that they use. The purpose of this part of ISO 9241 is to provide guidance on the application of software individualization in order to achieve as high a level of usability as possible. Thus it addresses individualization as the modification of interaction and pre
38、sentation of information to suit individual capabilities and needs of users. Individualization enables support of a wide range of users, tasks, and contexts of use. It is particularly useful in increasing accessibility (which is discussed in ISO 9241-171). On the one hand, ISO 9241-110 provides gene
39、ral guidance on individualization, identifying it as one of the seven dialogue principles that are important for the design and evaluation of interactive systems. On the other hand, this part of ISO 9241 provides considerably more detail on the ergonomic use of individualization. This part of ISO 92
40、41 addresses both user-initiated and system-initiated individualization. It encompasses the concepts of configuration, customization, adaptivity, adaptation, profiling, and internationalization. It serves the following types of users: designers of user-interface development tools and style guides to
41、 be used by interface designers; user-interface designers, who will apply the guidance during the development process; developers, who will apply the guidance during the design and implementation of system functionality; system administrators responsible for implementing solutions to meet end-user n
42、eeds; buyers, who will reference this part of ISO 9241 during product procurement; evaluators, who are responsible for ensuring that products are in accordance with this part of ISO 9241. The ultimate beneficiary of this part of ISO 9241 will be the end-user of the software. Although it is unlikely
43、that end-users will read this part of ISO 9241, its application by designers, developers, buyers and evaluators ought to provide user interfaces that are more usable through the use of individualization. This part of ISO 9241 concerns the development of software for user interfaces. However, those i
44、nvolved in designing the hardware aspects of user interfaces may also find it useful when considering the interactions between software and hardware aspects.

45、stem interaction Part 129: Guidance on software individualization 1 Scope This part of ISO 9241 provides ergonomics guidance on individualization within interactive systems, including recommendations on where individualization might be appropriate or inappropriate, and how to apply individualization
46、. It focuses on individualization of the software user interface to support the needs of users as individuals or as members of a defined group. It does not recommend specific implementations of individualization mechanisms. It provides guidance on how the various aspects of individualization are mad
47、e usable and accessible, but does not specify which individualizations are to be included within a system. NOTE Individualizations depend on the specific context of use for which an interactive system is to be designed and/or used, and need to be developed for that specific context of use. This part
48、 of ISO 9241 is not intended to be used in isolation. It deals only with individualization within the context of designing a complete software system. It is intended to be used with ISO 9241-110 and any other parts in the ISO 9241 series applicable to the design of the intended system. Some of its g
49、uidance can also be applied to hardware user interfaces and user interfaces that combine software and hardware. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
