Abstract
This paper discusses about the design method for developing the cellular phone which adapts to various users in each purpose through the correspondence between combinations of elements in three strata: user and using situation, function. Three Groups of combinations of functions and the frequency of functions, descriptions about using situations are derived from key words which are extracted from users’ free descriptions. Based on these results, it is possible to extract typologies of patterns for combinations of elements in using situations from free descriptions or interviews. Representing use scenes including characteristics of users enable to compare various using scenes and create a new scene.
