A Conceptual Architecture for Adaptive Human-Computer Interface of a PT Operation Platform Based on Context-Awareness

Table 1

Goals and functions of AHCI for the PT operation platform.

Main goals	Description	Examples	Description of function
Improve usability	Make system convenient and efficient	Default setting	Improve the understanding ability of the system, avoid repeated execution (default based on the highest operation frequency or latest operation record)
Simplify the operation process	Combine process steps, omit redundant operations	Simplifying tasks	Simplify the task steps by batch processing and macro command, execute tasks automatically without user’s confirmation
Reduce operation complexity	Reduce operation process and cognitive load	Simplifying the interfaces	Hide the function components which are not in need
Display information appropriately	Provide needed information timely and properly	Guiding	Help operators to accomplish mission tasks
		Error correction	Indicate errors and correct them in time
		Information push server	Provide information autonomously according to the requirements
		Status tracking	Reflect situation in real time
Support user needs diversification	Meet the demands of different users	Customizing interface	Transform component configurations according to user characteristics
