JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is reported that all items concerning a product, such as brand name, commercial, price, package design and others, which are described in Part 1, give a remarkable effect on forecasting of consumers' purchasing activity. Therefore, in case of forecasting of consumers' purchasing activity, it will be demanded to formulate forecasting problem, considering quantitatively the effects of these all items. This paper presents a probabilistic method to assess the purchasing activity of a new product which is designed by developer with some specified image level of selected items within all items, developing Bayes theory with the likelihood function obtained by the statistical analysis of the selling results of products or the questionnaire surveys. Besides, a probabilistic approach using fuzzy logic as a means to define numerically each image level of all items is formulated and discussed with numerical examples. It is hoped that such a tentative study will help to forecast consumers' purchasing activity for new product with some specified image level of selected items.View full abstractDownload PDF (1814K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe microwave oven brings convenience and safety for the elderly; however, it has a trend to microelectronics, and the elderly have more difficulties operating it. Through the investigation, we can know that the elderly would be affected by the comprehension, recognition, and like in operating panels, even in age and education level. We compared two different interfaces of manipulation. The result indicates that numerals are preferred to time setting and comprehension of heat sections, while letters are preferred for advanced level buttons. The bigger the contrast between letters and background, the easier it is to read. Likewise, it will not be easy to understand Auto Cooking through a bunch of letters. Visual images using an icon are easier to read than written instructions. The instruction "Start" is much clearer than "On/Off". Colors help gathering attention, sound assists for better receiving, and buttons with lights are more distinguishable for the elderly.View full abstractDownload PDF (1237K) -
