PRODUCT ANALYSIS BASED ON USER
EXPERIENCE (UX)
Based on my reading in this chapter, I have chosen the
Universal USB Backup Power Bank by Pineng as one of the handheld device as a
part of this assignment. In this writing, I will elaborate about how this Power
Bank has been designed and I will also elaborate about how the user is meant to
interact with it.
Nowadays, Power Bank is
one of the most important device that has been invented by the inventor. Long
time ago, people can live without the existence of this power supply, but due
to the development of the technology, Power Bank or backup power supply for
phones and other devices such as speaker or any other small devices that can support
this type of power supply are now become one of the most important thing for
all the user out there no matter where they need to travel especially when
using their phone.
This Power Bank is the
most important thing to have if you are one of the most addicted phone user
because the longer you are using your phone, the more power you need to prepare
for your phone battery. The usage for the battery of your phone is the most
important things that need to be aware because you should not let your phone
battery draining if you are going to use your phone in a very long period of
time.
Therefore, that is why
this devices such as Power Bank was created by the inventor. To design a
product or a devices, the creator or the inventor should think about the
usability of the product, its functionality, the aesthetics of the product, the
content, the look and feel of the product or the devices, and last but not
least the sensual and emotion appeal of the product itself. In my humble
opinion, based on the device or product that I have chosen which is the
Universal USB Backup Power Bank by Pineng, I think that this device has all the
criteria that was mention above.
It
is because the usability of this device is very great and convenient, due to
the simple ways of using it without the need of extra knowledge to handle it.
Which can also be called as a plug and play device. The user did not have to
learn hard on how to use and handle this device. The functionality of this
product or device is very intelligence because it can avoid the user’s phone battery
form draining or dead. So, we can say that the content of this device is very
pleasurable.
As
for the aesthetics, look and feel and also the sensual and emotion appeal of
this device is extremely user friendly. This is because, it physical appearance
is not too big, and also not to small, so it is very easy to carry and easy to
handle. So, I am going to elaborate on the most important parts of this device
which is usability goals and its user experience goals. There are a lot of
usability goals on the usage of this device which include effective to use,
efficient to use, safe to use, having good utility, easy to learn and last but
not least easy to remember how to use.
Based
on my experience on using this device, the most relevant usability for this
device is safe to use. One of the main reason why I said so is because, when we
are using a Power Bank while using our phone, it will protect your phone battery
and it will extend your battery life. It is because we as a user did not know
and did not understand how our phone battery degrades. Therefore, by using a
Power Bank, we can at least save our phone and also its battery. It is not that
save or at least we can also say that it is very dangerous if we are using our
phone while charging using a direct charger. Therefore, an inventor has created
this device to enhance the life span of our phone battery and also the safety
of our own risk.
We
had listen to the media about an unsafe situation on using a charger while
using our phone. It can explode, it can also make your phone battery life span
become shorter and also indeed it make your phone battery increase in a nick of
time but it is not a safe ways to use and handle your phone which charging.
Although, a lot of people who is not patience and wanted their phone to have a
lot of battery without have to wait for hours, but by using a Power Bank, we
can avoid fast charging, we can also avoid our phone battery draining and we
should know that we can extend the life span of our phone battery and it is
also very important for our own safety.
Last
but not least, I will elaborate on the user experience goals that I think will
be the most relevant in evaluating the device. Although there are a lot of
benefits that we can gain by using a Power Bank and it also gave us a lot of
good things toward our other devices such as phone, but, there are also this
one undesirable aspects of this device which is unpleasant. The main reason why
I said so is because let us think about we are using our phone while connecting
and charging using a Power Bank while we are relaxing, there are this USB cable
that giving us an uncomfortable situation. This is because, we are using our
phone, and we also have to put the Power Bank near us and also need to hold the
phone while connecting thru the cable. So, in my humble opinion, I think that
the inventor can think about creating or at least upgrading the Power Bank
technologies in the future. What I meant by upgrading the Power Bank is we can
create or invent a Power Bank which does not need to connect to a cable or plug
in a cable to charge the phone but we can use a Bluetooth instead. Therefore,
inventor can at least try to invent a Bluetooth Connectivity Power Bank or we
can at least name it as a Bluetooth Device Power Bank.
