Shared office equipment lacks personal settings management

As people take turns using equipment, their settings, accessories and session states interfere with one another.

Research area: Digital office and input devicesProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Distinguish personal preferences, shared team settings and administrator controls.
  2. Design clear entry points for switching profiles, ending sessions and restoring defaults.
  3. Run back-to-back multi-user tasks and refine the handover experience.

Key Deliverables

  • Configuration hierarchy
  • Sharing flow
  • Interface

Verification Approach

Check for leftover personal settings and proper restoration of defaults.
