Patent ID: 7856343

Claim:
A design evaluation system of mobile devices using virtual reality based prototypes, comprising: a data process module for managing mobile device data, which include data on a type and components of a virtual mobile device, and performing selection among the mobile device data; an image visualization module for visualizing the virtual mobile device by using the selected mobile device data and representing user interaction to the virtual mobile device; and a design preference prediction module for performing a prediction of design preference for the visualized virtual mobile device, wherein the design preference prediction module includes: a design parameter classification/selection module for classifying design parameters of a real mobile device and performing a selection among the classified design parameters; a prediction experiment result database for storing therein results of a prediction experiment which has been performed on test subjects using the real mobile device to which the selected design parameters are reflected; a design preference prediction equation derivation module for deriving a design preference prediction equation Y for each evaluation item of the design preference from the results of the prediction experiment stored in the prediction experiment result database by performing a multiple regression analysis; and a design preference display module for calculating the design preference for the virtual mobile device by using the design preference prediction equations and displaying the design preference.
