1. Use the big buttons as a simple click-through interface
Dragging, double-clicking, scrollbars, drop-down menus, various windows, or other elements will confuse some unskilled users, and will also reduce the user's affinity for the product and reduce its efficiency.
2. Run your program in full screen
Remove the file name bar and menu bar, so you can enjoy the benefits of running the entire screen.
3. Use bright colors (don't use black)
The bright color of the set can hide the finger prints and reduce the visual impact of dazzling light. Other patterned scenes, such as crumpled paper patterns, can focus the eye on the screen image rather than the screen reflection, even in areas where there are no icons and menu options.
Fourth, as soon as the user touches the screen, he will get feedback and echo
Immediate feedback is important for the user to confirm that the contact has been taken. The response can be visual, such as a three-dimensional button similar to a standard window button. Perhaps it could also be responded with a sound, where the user will hear a "click" or other sound any time they touch the screen. Be sure that the display will immediately clear the previous screen, and that the screen will display an hourglass icon (or other similar icon) before the next screen appears.
5. Remove the cursor of the mouse so that the user can pay attention to the whole screen instead of the arrow
The mouse arrows on the screen will make the user think, how can I use this arrow to do what I want to do? By removing the arrows, the user's thoughts and actions change from direct to direct. In this way, the true power of the touch screen is revealed.
6. When you plan a self-service inquiry kiosk, please consider the following elements:
Do you use exhaust fans? Place the fan on top, just locally close to the monitor exit. Minimise dust caused by walking and remove dust from the ground to prevent air from entering the area around the monitor. Point the speaker at your user's ear. Please use the Elo Inquiry Kiosk to access the monitor. Otherwise, you'll have to promise the variety of monitor form factors, because they get fast. The monitor must be mounted on a secure and stable base, so that it is relatively robust to touch. Ultimately, choose a polish that hides your fingerprints, instead of glossy stainless steel, chrome, and glossy black lacquer.
7. Make your use of the program fun and fast
If the system is slow, users will definitely walk away. Respond quickly to their contacts, and you can use this to lock their attention. The same system at high speed will also reduce the occurrence of intentional damage. Picture mode requires too much color and high resolution, and these things only slow down the system. It's much more effective to use more colors than to use high resolution.
8. Conduct a digital dialogue with the user through the use of the program (through the sound card)
Because the human brain can withstand sound and image together, the user interface that can provide sound and contact responses is almost peculiar. The better self-service kiosk programs take this common sense to the extreme.
9. Make your use with attractive packaging
Animation and large fonts help make the kiosk more appealing. Then, the appearance plan of the self-service kiosk should also be attractive and robust.
10. Make the use intuitive and simple, and guide the user as much as possible
Have specific people use your touchscreen as a quiz. If the user pauses because they don't understand, even for a while, you should figure out what needs to be improved.

Frequently asked questions about HMIs
1. What is the difference between the human-machine interface and the "touch screen" that people often say?
In a strict sense, there is a fundamental difference between the two. Because the "touch screen" is only a hardware part that may be used in human-machine interface products, it is a kind of function that replaces the mouse and keyboard.
