Method for integrating user models to interface design
First Claim
1. A method for designing a customized user interface, comprising:
- categorizing a user population into at least two groups, describing the categorized groups, and modeling the described groups using qualitative and quantitative models, the categorizing, describing and modeling being based upon Categorize-Describe-Model (CDM) methodology; and
applying the models to interface design.

Abstract
A method that incorporates a detailed, precise procedure of designing a user interface by utilizing agent behavioral models. This method applies quantitative and qualitative agent behavioral models derived through the Categorize Describe-Model (CDM) methodology to the iterative design stage of interface development. The method includes: (1) categorizing at least two users; (2) validating targeted user behaviors and preferences; (3) capturing emergent behaviors and preferences; (4) tracking design requirements and implementations; (5) accommodating diversity in performance and preference during interactive testing; and (6) customizing a user interface design to each of the at least two users.
