Summary

Target user

Couple

They value trust and emotion with their partner.

Persona link: https://github.com/JerrryCai/DECO3500-Coca/wiki/Persona-(Week5)

Requirement (Problem/Opportunity)

1. Sometimes, couples waste money to pay the same VIPs because they are not familiar with each other, and they do not know which accounts their partner can share;
2. There are many steps to share accounts with others;
3. There are private issues;
4. Couples like sharing life with partners when sharing amusement accounts;
5. When people start a relationship with others, they are willing to share accounts with trust. However, when they break up, they can trust each other anymore;

Solution

1. Users can choose which accounts they can share and use shared accounts from their partner;
2. When users decide to share accounts on the platform, their partner can use shared accounts permanently;
3. Social media will not be shared because social media relate to people’s privacy;
4. There was a library and diary to help couples share and collect content when sharing accounts;
5. Users can decide to stop sharing accounts when they break up with their partner;

Process

Literature Review

Findings for opportunities：

1. Sharing accounts can enhance users’ relationships;
2. A lot of people focus on the security of accounts when sharing accounts;
3. There is a need to manage users’ entertainment accounts;
4. There is a need to monitor accounts when users stop sharing accounts for users who have shared accounts;

First Interview

Findings:

1. Users have a high level of trust in their partner, but the trust decreases after a breakup;
2. Account security issues;
3. Users think it troublesome to share their accounts individually many times;

Low-fi Prototype One

Based on these issues, our team felt that there was a need to provide users with a good and secure account management program.

1. To protect users' accounts, they could log in to the shared accounts directly through the shared zone, replacing the account and password sharing method;
2. tracking system that allows users to see who is using their account;
3. time limit to the original end of sharing feature. Sharing accounts will automatically end when the time is up;

Below is the first Low-fi Prototype:

User Test for Low-fi Prototype One

Based on the feedback we received on stand-up this week, we realised that we had focused too much on securing the user's account and neglected people's emotions. For this reason, we conducted a user test and the second round of interviews.

In the user test, there was some feedback from testers:

1. The ability to end sharing was necessary because they wanted to have the power to choose to end sharing with others. However, almost all respondents also said that the kick button and time set were too cold-blooded.
2. All interviewees would not want to track their partner's use of their account because it offended their privacy.

We were inspired by an idea from some testers that added some romantic functions in design, such as recording the movies we saw together.

Second Interview

For the second interview, we found that users were more concerned about privacy than the security of their accounts. Five of the participants expressed that they did not want a tracking system. 67% of the interviewees said they would use sharing content feature.

Low-fi Prototype two & Mid-fi Prototype

In response to the user test and the interview, some changes were made:

1. setting the function to end sharing in a less obvious place;
2. removing the function to show each other's online status, as users felt that this feature invaded their privacy;
3. adding content sharing to increase social interaction.

Low-fi Prototype two:

Mid-fi Prototype:

1. Log in page: add a partner

2. Home Page: sharing accounts and using shared accounts

3. Memory page: sharing contents

4. Personal page: changing passwords and breakup function.

User Test for Mid-fi Prototype

Some feedback were obtained:

1. All users loved sharing accounts and content.
2. Some users felt that the function was no different from the sharing function on other social media apps. However, some users thought that sharing things on other social apps could easily be covered by the chat. Therefore, we thought to make some improvements to this function.
3. Some users indicated that they did not want the ability to change all their passwords with one click. They would prefer to change their passwords on the original account platform individually.
4. The majority of users suggested not naming the feature 'break up', which they felt had a suggestive connotation.

High-fi Prototype

Based on the user Test for Mid-fi Prototype, Some changes were made:

1. Updating all passwords was removed;
2. Creating a memoir function based on sharing content;
3. Renaming end sharing function and hiding it in the secondary menu in the menu bar to make it not obvious.

User Test for High-fi Prototype

Users are very satisfied with the shared zone. Suggestions were mainly focused on the memory interface and privacy protection.
