Abstract

A software application’s menu is an important part of its user interface. User satisfaction and application usage efficiency depend on how well the menu is designed. Application menus designed by the developer are intended for the average user and do not take into account the needs and characteristics of individual users. A solution to this problem is the creation of user interfaces capable of adapting to the needs of an individual user. The approach to adapting the user menu of an application program proposed in this paper is based on a user model generated by monitoring user actions in the process of working with the program. A mathematical model of the application menu and a model of the application user are constructed, and an algorithm for adaptive modification of the application menu is proposed. The proposed algorithm for creating menu item links at higher hierarchy levels and hiding unused menu items makes it possible to reduce the activation time of menu items, thus increasing the user’s productivity.

应用程序菜单的自适应算法

摘要

软件应用程序的菜单是其用户界面的重要组成部分。用户满意度和应用程序使用效率取决于菜单的设计程度。开发人员设计的应用程序菜单仅供一般用户使用，未考虑单个用户的需求和特征。解决该问题的方法是创建能够适应单个用户需求的用户界面。本文提出的适应应用程序用户菜单的方法基于通过在使用程序的过程中监视用户动作而生成的用户模型。建立了应用程序菜单的数学模型和应用程序用户模型，提出了一种自适应修改应用程序菜单的算法。
