Research on Innovative Design of Urban Smart Lighting Equipment Based on User Experience

Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the development and maturity of the Internet of Things, sensor, processing and software technology, products are no longer a single product, but will digitize machines (computers), agents, sensors, information data in the network system, and then connect with people, devices and business processes to realize complex system products with collective consciousness and thinking. Smart city is a large-scale system with thorough perception, comprehensive interconnection and in-depth intelligence. As terminal and carrier of smart city system, urban street lamp implements important technology in the perspectives of perception, network and application, which will play a tremendous role in the construction of future smart city.

Firstly, through document retrieval, market research and the requirements analysis of User experience, this paper analyzes the background, meaning and development status of urban smart lighting equipment (USLE), summarizes the construction of USLE and the intelligent functions that have been achieved, and teases out the relationship between USLE and smart city project application with the combination of the content of “13th Five-Year plan” for smart city construction in Shanghai. On this basis, the general framework of the emotional design and evaluation system of USLE form under user experience is put forward, which includes Five parts: (1) Users’ three levels of emotional needs for products; (2) the demand evaluation of product perceptual image; (3) the perception evaluation of design prototype; (4) the perception evaluation of design model; (5) product use and interaction experience. After that, the specific implementation contents of the five parts are analyzed and discussed in depth. Finally, taking study of PRONA Smart Lighting Design in Shanghai, China for instance, it is proved that the general framework has strong feasibility and application value, which can provide pattern references for government, enterprises and designers to carry out innovative design and development of urban smart lighting equipment in the future.
