图形用户界面是当前计算机人机交互界面的主流,通过界面中的概念隐喻、符号隐喻和行为隐喻的有效构建,能将现实世界人们熟悉的事物映射到计算机数字世界,从而使数字世界中复杂、陌生、概念的事物变成简单、熟悉和具体的事物。图形用户界面隐喻符合人心智模型作用机制,能有效地提高界面的使用工效,并使其具备好的审美和情感功能。同时基于图形用户界面隐喻的构建和解读耦合模型,论述了图形用户界面隐喻的局限性。
Graphic user interface(GUI) is currently the mainstream of the human-computer interface.through effectively using the interface metaphors — concept metaphor,symbol metaphor and action metaphor,the familiar things of the real world can be mapped into the digital world of computer,so that the complicated,unfamiliar and conceptual things of the digital world should be become simple,familiar and concrete.GUI metaphor is come from the cognitive mechanism of human mental model;it can improve ergonomical effectiveness of human-computer interaction,and making the GUI beautiful and emotional.Based on the coupling model of the construction and interpretation of GUI metaphor,its weaknesses and limitations are deeply discussed.
