Abstract

Smartphones have become popular in recent years. With the development of various smartphone applications (apps), smartphone functions are becoming increasingly advanced. However, functions are limited by the area of the smartphone screen, meaning that some apps are less convenient to operate. App designers can change the interface of an app to enhance operational convenience. This study presents a new music operating interface design concept and designed a smartphone app. This concept is an electronic instrument or music operating interface (such as for application in smartphones, flat panel computers, or other electronic products). The right hand plays the melody, and the left hand adjusts the octave. The app may also simply play all of the notes of a given song to facilitate user learning. This study recruited several participants to use the designed app and note its advantages and disadvantages, which can serve as a reference for revised designs.
