Abstract

The present study performs an analysis of the requirements of user-centered design for an instant messaging application whose focus is the geolocation of victims. The design consists of two stages, the first stage focused on obtaining Guides and Insights based on testimony of people with some degree of relation to the victims of the earthquake of April 16 happened in Ecuador, the initial proposal suggested an application to be Executed with the minimum effort of the user in attention to the possible environment that a trapped victim can experience after an earthquake, the initial tests determined that the efforts of design were not enough to fulfill the objectives proposed and a second stage with a design was added Conceptual, which contemplated activation by voice commands; With this, it was possible to determine that there is no relation between the physical structure of the person trapped, nor the enclaustrado means in which it can be found, unlike the security with which it could emit the voice commands that determined the amount of times that A command must be repeated before executing the application.
