Introduction/ Background
简介/背景

In recent years, the development of smart-home technologies, driven by advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G networks, and artificial intelligence (AI), has become increasingly prominent in China, transforming the way people interact with their living environments. However, despite rapid technological progress, many smart-home solutions have struggled to achieve widespread adoption in the Chinese market. The primary issue lies in the prioritization of technology over user experience (UX), resulting in unmet user needs and expectations. Complex setups, limited compatibility with existing systems, and unintuitive interfaces have led to consumer frustration, hindering broader market acceptance. Improving UX is crucial for increasing adoption rates and addressing the evolving behaviors of Chinese consumers. While previous research has primarily focused on technical aspects like network connectivity, device interoperability, and security, there is a lack of research addressing the specific UX challenges in the Chinese market, particularly in terms of usability, flexibility, and the integration of local cultural factors into product design. Tailored research is needed to better understand and address these challenges.
近年来，在物联网（IoT）、5G网络和人工智能（AI）进步的推动下，智能家居技术的发展在中国日益凸显，改变了人们与生活环境的互动方式。然而，尽管技术进步迅速，许多智能家居解决方案仍难以在中国市场获得广泛采用。主要问题在于技术优先于用户体验（UX），导致用户需求和期望得不到满足。复杂的设置、与现有系统的有限兼容性以及不直观的界面导致消费者沮丧，阻碍了更广泛的市场接受度。改善用户体验对于提高采用率和解决中国消费者不断变化的行为至关重要。虽然之前的研究主要集中在网络连接、设备互操作性和安全性等技术方面，但缺乏针对中国市场特定用户体验挑战的研究，特别是在可用性、灵活性和当地文化因素的整合方面进入产品设计。需要进行量身定制的研究来更好地理解和应对这些挑战。

Research question
研究问题

The goal of this seminar paper is to explore how the UX of smart-home solutions can be optimized to better meet the needs of Chinese consumers by addressing current challenges and proposing design improvements that enhance usability, flexibility, and overall user satisfaction, ultimately leading to broader acceptance in the Chinese market. The research will focus on the question: how can the UX of smart-home solutions be improved to increase their acceptance and usability among Chinese consumers? The hypotheses for empirical research include: (1) smart-home solutions with more intuitive interfaces and simplified setup processes will see higher adoption rates; (2) privacy and data security features that align with Chinese regulations and consumer concerns will positively influence the adoption of these technologies; and (3) Chinese consumers are more likely to adopt smart-home solutions that offer seamless compatibility with widely used local platforms and services, such as WeChat and Alipay.
本研讨会论文的目的是探讨如何优化智能家居解决方案的用户体验，以更好地满足中国消费者的需求，解决当前的挑战并提出设计改进，以提高可用性、灵活性和整体用户满意度，最终实现在中国市场更广泛的接受度。研究将重点关注这样一个问题：如何改善智能家居解决方案的用户体验，以提高其在中国消费者中的接受度和可用性？实证研究的假设包括：（1）具有更直观界面和简化设置流程的智能家居解决方案将获得更高的采用率； (2) 符合中国法规和消费者关注点的隐私和数据安全特性将对这些技术的采用产生积极影响； (3) 中国消费者更有可能采用与微信和支付宝等广泛使用的本地平台和服务无缝兼容的智能家居解决方案。

Methods
方法

This research will utilize a multi-method approach to thoroughly investigate the UX challenges and opportunities in China's smart-home market. First, a structured survey will be administered to a sample of Chinese consumers who have either adopted or considered adopting smart-home solutions. The purpose of this survey is to collect quantitative data on user experiences, including pain points, preferences, satisfaction levels, and adoption barriers. By surveying a wide range of consumers across different demographics, this method aims to provide a broad understanding of the key issues impacting user experience in China.
本研究将采用多种方法深入研究中国智能家居市场的用户体验挑战和机遇。首先，将对已经采用或考虑采用智能家居解决方案的中国消费者进行结构化调查。这项调查的目的是收集有关用户体验的定量数据，包括痛点、偏好、满意度和采用障碍。通过对不同人群的广泛消费者进行调查，该方法旨在广泛了解影响中国用户体验的关键问题。

Second, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with experts in UX design, smart-home technologies, and Chinese market analysts. These interviews are designed to gather qualitative insights into current UX practices and challenges specific to the Chinese market. Expert perspectives will help identify areas where UX improvements are needed to boost user adoption and satisfaction. This method will offer a more in-depth, nuanced understanding of the current UX landscape and complement the quantitative data gathered from the consumer survey.
其次，将对用户体验设计、智能家居技术和中国市场分析师方面的专家进行半结构化访谈。这些访谈旨在收集有关中国市场当前用户体验实践和挑战的定性见解。专家观点将有助于确定需要改进用户体验的领域，以提高用户采用率和满意度。这种方法将提供对当前用户体验景观的更深入、细致的了解，并补充从消费者调查中收集的定量数据。

Third, a qualitative analysis of case studies will be performed, focusing on smart-home products that have achieved high adoption rates in China. The goal is to explore how UX-focused product design has contributed to the success of these products, as well as what specific strategies were used to meet the local consumer needs. These case studies will provide real-world examples of effective UX practices, offering practical recommendations that can be applied to other smart-home products to improve market acceptance.
第三，将对案例研究进行定性分析，重点关注在中国采用率较高的智能家居产品。目标是探索以用户体验为中心的产品设计如何促进这些产品的成功，以及采用哪些具体策略来满足当地消费者的需求。这些案例研究将提供有效用户体验实践的真实示例，并提供可应用于其他智能家居产品以提高市场接受度的实用建议。

The expected results from this mixed-method approach include identifying specific UX barriers that are preventing broader adoption of smart-home solutions in China, such as issues with setup complexity, interface design, and product compatibility. The interviews are expected to reveal insights into user preferences and industry challenges, while the case studies will highlight successful UX strategies that could be replicated across other products. Ultimately, the findings will contribute to a better understanding of how UX improvements can drive market penetration and increase consumer satisfaction in the Chinese smart-home industry.
这种混合方法的预期结果包括确定阻碍智能家居解决方案在中国更广泛采用的特定用户体验障碍，例如设置复杂性、界面设计和产品兼容性问题。访谈预计将揭示对用户偏好和行业挑战的见解，而案例研究将强调可以在其他产品中复制的成功的用户体验策略。最终，研究结果将有助于更好地了解用户体验改进如何推动中国智能家居行业的市场渗透并提高消费者满意度。
