Abstract
In the high-rise buildings of modern society, elevators have become important transportation facilities. However, as the world ages, these elevator interfaces are difficult and inconvenient for the silver generation, who are suffering from cognitive deterioration due to physical aging. In addition, as the number of silver households increased rapidly, the elderly welfare facilities such as silver towns, welfare facilities for the disabled, and hospitals increased, which led to the need for elevator interface design for the silver generation. Thus, this paper examined Jacob Nielsen's ten principles of usability and elevator interface components and discussed GUI design for the silver generation. Based on the application of Jacob Nielsen's ten principles of usability, the GUI elements layout, typography, graphics and color were written in consideration of the physical characteristics of the Silver Generation. The survey selected three regions with a high total population of 60 or older and conducted a face-to-face survey of those aged 70 or older. The results of the survey are as follows: The layout should consist of an existing familiar array and the button should be large in size. The typography should consist of easy-to-understand languages, and should be consistent. It has been shown that graphics should have exact meaning and should be known through color when selecting or canceling buttons. Based on the survey results, the elevator interface design for the silver generation was developed, and it was meaningful that this research could help ease the inconvenience of the silver generation
