Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the intrinsic mechanism of emotional perception in guiding product design and fill the gap in the existing research on the systematic integration of emotional perception theory into practical product design. A mixed research method combining bibliometric analysis, case study and user experiment was adopted. First, a bibliometric analysis of international and domestic literature on emotional perception and product design was carried out to sort out the research context and frontier hotspots; then, 12 typical products in fields such as intelligent home appliances and wearable devices were selected for in-depth case study to extract the application modes of emotional perception; finally, a user experiment with 80 subjects was designed to verify the influence of different emotional perception design elements on user experience. The results show that emotional perception plays a key role in three dimensions: user demand insight, design scheme optimization and user experience enhancement, and a mechanism model of emotional perception acting on product design is constructed. This study provides theoretical support and practical guidance for improving the emotional value of products and enhancing market competitiveness.
