Abstract
Mobile technology advancements incite expansive opportunity spaces in value-added services to users. This however also introduces critical user experience problems (visual occlusion/clutter). Dynamic contexts of use of mobile phones and diverse functionalities compete for users' visual attention. Interaction designers might need to rethink the design and evaluation of such user interface types. The present study aimed to explore the possible design concepts and rationales of auditory icons for mobile phone service applications in Taiwan region.

The Duration of an Auditory Icon Can Affect How the Listener Interprets Its Meaning
Initially introduced in the field of informatics, an auditory icon consists of a short sound that is present in everyday life, used to represent a specific event, object, function, or action. Auditory icons have been studied in various fields, and overall,...
Auditory icons: using sound in computer interfaces
There is growing interest in the use of sound to convey information in computer interfaces. The strategies employed thus far have been based on an understanding of sound that leads to either an arbitrary or metaphorical relation between the sounds used ...
