Generally speaking, an inputdevice is a sensor that can detect changes in user behaviour (gestures, moving fing
18、ers, etc.) and transform itinto signals to be interpreted by the interactive system. An input device is regarded as the combination ofhardwarewith the software designed to use it (e.g. a driver).This part of ISO9241 defines design criteria for products on the basis of relevant properties of physical
19、 input devices aslaid down in ISO9241-400:2007. It is intended to cover assessment methods for laboratoryuse (in order to accelerate future development of test and evaluation methods) and user organizations in future partsof ISO 9241. Most of the principles presented in this part of ISO9241 have pre
20、viously been defined or outlined in International Standards for keyboards and other input devices (ISO9241-4 and ISO9241-9). Where necessary, definitions of terms have been reformulated so that theyare applicable for all input devices.ISO9241 was originally developed as a seventeen-part Internationa
21、l Standard on the ergonomics requirements for office work withvisual display terminals. As part of the standards review process, a majorrestructuring of ISO9241 was agreed to broaden its scope, to incorporate other relevant standards and to make it more usable. The general title of the revised ISO92
22、41, “Ergonomics of human-system interaction”,reflects these changes and aligns the standard with the overall title and scope of Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction. The revised multipart standard is structured as a series of standards
23、 numbered in the “hundreds”: the 100 series dealswith software interfaces, the 200 series with human centred design, the 300 series with visual displays, the 400 series with physical input devices and so on. See Annex A for an overviewof the entire ISO 9241 series. BS EN ISO 9241-410:2008+A1:2012 IS
24、O 9241-410:2008+A1:2012 (E) ISO 2012INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 1Ergonomics of human-system interaction Part 410: Design criteria for physical input devices 1 Scope This part of ISO9241 specifies criteria based onergonomics factorsfor the design of physicalinput devicesfor interactive systems including k
25、eyboards, mice, pucks, joysticks, trackballs, trackpads, tablets and overlays,touch-sensitive screens, styli and light pens, and voice- and gesture-controlled devices. It gives guidance onthe design of these devices, taking into consideration the capabilities and limitations of users, and specifies
26、generic design criteria for physicalinput devices,aswell 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 canbe determined based on the specified design criteria for the intended use; such specif
27、ied criteria generallyhaving been subdivided into task-oriented categories, wherever applicable. EXAMPLE The resolution of a pointing device is given in relation to four levels of index of difficulty for the Fitts test.The required category for the resolution can be determined on the basis of the ta
28、sk characteristics, user population andcontext of use for the intended application. This part of ISO 9241 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 towhich a certain propertyo
29、f adevice belongs is subject to the design of a product. This part of ISO 9241 is expected to be used bythe manufacturers of physicalinput devices,including product designers and test organizations, in determining the design characteristics of a device for its intended contextof use (user population
30、, task, software or environment, etc.). The data generated by the users of this partofISO9241 for the description of the properties of their products can be applied in the selection of a deviceadequate for the actual context of use on the basis of the task primitives relevant for the task of the spe
31、cific user population, and for achieving the required level of efficiency and effectiveness for a given system. 2 NormativereferencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

49、onomic efficiency, marketing or the concept of usability (see ISO 9241-400). This part of ISO 9241 presents requirements related to product properties that are in turn related to usabilityof physical input devices. Its application requires following steps a) to d), below. a) Identify properties of the device that are relevant for usability.First, identify those properties relevant to usability, i.e. relevant for the effectiveness and efficiency of useand for the satisfaction of user needs. Some of the properties are known (e.g. key legends for keyboard)an
