The final product of the project is a mobile application. The overall function is divided into two parts, creating a special album with an expiry date and viewing the album.
Features

After the user records some daily routines with the mobile phone, he can find the food with the expiration date around him, scan the bar code on the food, and identify the expiration date of the food. After that, select the photos you want to save in this expiration date and add descriptive information to the photos. The information form includes text, voice, address information of music photos, etc. After completing the photo selection and description editing, the album cannot be viewed again before the expiration date. The photo album will be reopened on the date of the expiration date, and the user can see the selected photos and the description of the record, and recall past memories.
In addition, there is the function of sharing with friends. You can share albums with friends in two parts. When creating a shelf life album, you can edit the shelf life album together with your friends, and other users can scan the same barcode to enter the same shelf life album editing. When viewing the shelflife album, users can share the shelf-life album with their friends to recall their experiences together.
There are many usage scenarios for the application, such as after a trip, a birthday party, an anniversary and other meaningful moments. In order to allow users to review these happy and wonderful memories in the future, the photos are stored in the shelf life album, and the current feelings are recorded in the album in the form of text or voice. This happiness can also be created by friends and reminisce about the happy time spent together in the future.
The project establishes the connection between the user and the photo through the shelf life and also helps the user to establish interaction with friends. The application realizes a new form of interaction between shelf life and people and realizes a new way of recording life with the expiry date. Associating photos through the expiration date brings a brand new experience of reviewing photos and memories.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this project mainly explores the user experience brought by the shelf life of food. By exploring the ways in which the shelf life can affect people’s lives, I think of mobile phone photo albums that users use to record their lives. Through an application, the project established the association between the shelf life and mobile phone albums, designed a new way of recommending photos, and created a new user experience for users.
Through literature review and project review, I learned that the shelf life and human interaction are relatively monotonous, and there are some design opportunities that can develop more experience. And based on the knowledge that mobile phone albums are the main way people record their lives, through the association with mobile phone albums, I explore the possibility of new ways of interaction brought by the shelf life. Interviews and other research methods help me learn about people's habits of using mobile phones to record their lives and how they interact with mobile photo albums. Many people use mobile phones as a tool for taking pictures. After taking pictures, they will organize the photos and put them on social media as a record of their lives. People do not have the habit of browsing albums and viewing old photos. Part of the reason is that there are too many photos and it is difficult to quickly see the key points, and the other part is that the photos have less information. Based on the information obtained from the research, an application that can make a photo album with an expiry date was deduced and designed.
Users take the initiative to add photos to the shelf life album and add descriptions. This process is like people recording their lives on social media. When the user looks back at the album, the problem of less photo information is solved. Users can quickly recall previous memories based on the recorded information. The project puts this process inside the photo album so that people can look back on the past in their private space. Users do not need to post photos on social media, but can also review their past experiences.
Mobile phone photo albums store too many people's life records. In fact, most of the photos in mobile phones rarely have the opportunity to look back after they are taken. Many wonderful moments are just ignored by people. By associating the shelf life, on the one hand, these dust-covered photos can be re-displayed to users, increasing the browsing rate of photos in the album, and injecting new vitality into the album. On the other hand, the randomness of the shelf life also surprises users. The shelf life setting is like a time capsule. When the time capsule is opened, the user seems to be talking to the past self. Photos can remind users to look back at past experiences and not to focus too much on the present and the future. Memories will gradually become blurred over time and finally lost. Recalling the past from time to time can make good memories be remembered by people. In short, I hope that my project will allow people to look back at the beautiful moments in the past, remember them in their hearts, and bring warmth and inspiration to themselves.
