User Interface/Display - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL26CW1 Product Information

While simple interaction is important, we are also able to include extended functionality that is
easy to interact with. People can access the information they want, when they want it and in the
language they want.
This technology gives us great advantages in terms of usability, consistency and flexibility.
It's about simple tasks and decisions
We have based the display logic on the simple decisions consumers make as they use the
product. The focus is on the user and their task, rather than the technical workings of the
machine.
The depth of information and customization caters for different types of users:
st
1 level = simple choices
nd
2 level = wash option selection, more technical
rd
3 level = machine settings, wash option customization, most technical
Only need to go as far as the users feel comfortable
We have created our own unique F&P logic for the display interface, drawing our inspiration
from many sources to ensure that the logic that we created did not conflict with the logic that
people have become familiar with in other products.
Share some of the Fisher & Paykel knowledge.
We can share some of that knowledge with consumers by offering simple solutions to the tasks
they are performing. We can also provide information that will inform their understanding of the
products functionality through the display. This helps them to get the most out of the product.
Understanding and confidence in technology
We have utilized the interface to inform the user of machines performance and progress –
enabling greater understanding and confidence in the functionality and technology, particularly
for auto sensing phases.
Interface elements – Consistency and Flexibility
This new style of accessing information will become consistent across the product family. All
future products will use the same language, style, format and information structure including
menu, shortcuts and settings. The consistent application of icons and functionality builds up an
'F&P language'. Commonality also provides some advantages in shared mechanical and software
development, components and manufacture, as well as familiarity for the user.
