Han, Sung H. and Kwahk, Jiyoung (1995): Single-Line Display Menu. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 306-310.

Many electronic consumer products use a single line display which is capable of presenting a limited number of characters at a time. Although many design guidelines have been proposed, they are applicable only to the menus on ordinary CRT displays. This study examined the effects of four different variables: menu structure, user experience, navigation aid, and number of target items on designing the menu on a single line display. Four dependent measures, speed, accuracy, efficiency, and user preference of a target search task, were collected. The results showed that the 82 structure turned out to be an optimal menu structure for single-line display menus. The navigation aid improved the search performance of the inexperienced. Interestingly, multiple target search tasks recorded a better performance than single target search tasks. Based on the results, design implications were discussed.

Han, Sung H. and Kwahk, Jiyoung (1994): Design of a Menu for Small Displays Presenting a Single Item at a Time. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 360-364.

Electronic consumer products such as desktop laser printers, facsimiles, copiers, etc., which have a small visual display panel are ubiquitous. They are characterized by presenting only a single menu item at a time which is usually organized in a hierarchical tree structure. Since users see only a single line information on the display and use them infrequently, the optimal menu design may be different from that of an ordinary computer display. An experiment was conducted to examine variables for designing the optimal menu on a single line display. Prototypes were developed to simulate the user interfaces of several menu structures. The results showed that the search time on the small display was approximately three times longer than that on the ordinary computer display. User experience affected significantly the search performance and a menu structure with depth 2 was found to be the optimal for infrequent users. Based on the results of the experiment, human factors guidelines for designing a menu on a single line display were suggested.
