Abstract

People often receive notifications through auditory, tactile, and visual forms. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact on the notification usability of the mobile device through different combinations of dimensions. The experiment was conducted adopting a 2 (visual presentation type) × 3 (notification dimension) design. We used semi-structured interviews, the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS), and the subjective emotions questionnaire to help collect the users’ preference for the notification types. The experimental results indicate that: (1) The most satisfactory notification is the vision + vibration dimension. (2) Whether the visual presentation was static or dynamic, the overall response of the vision + vibration dimension scores better. (3) There is a significant and positive correlation among each of the three parts of QUIS (Overall response, notification screen, Terminology & notification information). (4) Participants’ subjective emotions are correlated with the judgment of the QUIS.
