This study investigates whether people entrain their body sway in everyday face-to-face communication. Interpersonal entrainment has been observed under experimental conditions, but not in daily life. We used wearable sensors to measure individual body vibration and face-to-face interactions in daily life. The observation included at least 100 participants from each of seen organization over a period...
Mind is a compound information handling and processing mechanism and consciousness — (the processed information) is the core component of mind. The spirit of consciousness is definite correspondence between substance with some rules or laws. Information processed in the mind approaching from both the outer world (physical world) and the inner world (mind). The information can be represented in many...
The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the features of augmented reality (AR) and human memorization ability. The basis of this relation is derived from the following features. The AR feature is that AR can provide information associated with specific locations in the real world. The feature of human memory is that humans can easily memorize information if the information...
Emotion estimation from sentences is helpful in semantic analysis and human-computer interaction. People sometimes express their emotions directly and sometimes describe experiences that produce various emotions. Emotion estimation requires both verbal expressions. We believe Japanese onomatopoeias could serve as a landmark of emotions. In this study, multiple raters judged emotions found in 324 onomatopoeias...
Inspired by the similarities between human trust and physical measurements, we have proposed a trust framework for social networks, including defining new trust metrics and their combinations, which captures both human trust level and its uncertainty, while being intuitive and user friendly. Based on our trust framework, we propose several security mechanisms, including filtering information on social...
This paper collected the literatures (published in the last decade) of Human-computer Interaction from ISI Web of Science, and used the method of Mapping Knowledge Domains, to study the recent key topics and core documents in HCI. the results identify three research directions, including recognition technology, user interface design and usability study. the key topics in each direction and evolution...
Along with the development of Internet technology, more and more design need to engage with the human elements. in this paper we first focus on the characteristics of Internet product and user requirement, then on this basis of user research, we build up a humanized system of Internet product design and a specific design method, at last we introduce the concept of emotional design and emphasize the...
In this study, psychological experiments are conducted to investigate harm-avoidance action characteristics in humans in close contact with robotic devices. For the experiments, a situation is created in which the sharp end-effector tip of a robot suddenly approaches the eyes of a facing participant. The avoidance reaction time is defined as the time interval from the beginning of the end-effector...
This paper presents a possibility that we can teach what emotions a robot should express. For this, we design an artificial emotion decision system learned by feedbacks of users. The proposed system consists of three parts: a personality space with probability model, an emotion decision process, and an emotion learning process. 1) The personality space is designed based on the Five-Factor Model. In...
According to the competency dictionary of Spencer, this research explores the component of senior researchers' competency in universities, and designs a scale of competency through the literature review, net information analysis, as well as the interviews of experts. To elaborate a model for senior researchers' competency, a total of 348 professors from 17 universities answered the questionnaire....
Domestic scholars have given a multi-disciplinary research and practical try for context. In this paper, the author gave analysis on role played by context in the elements of political perception's antecedent, adjustment and, and then discussed impact effectiveness of context for organizational politics perception existed in organizational behavior. The paper summed up context and measurement elements...
To date, many studies have been carried out with regard to the degree of harmony of a chord. As those studies have been based on the semitone of a Western musical scale, the case of very small frequency difference has not been investigated yet in detail. Not as music theory, but considering the application to a human interface etc., it is meaningful to investigate how small change of the frequency...
The aim of cognitive augmentation is to expand the intrinsically limited human's cognitive abilities caused by cognitive impairment or disability. In order to assist the human's limited cognitive ability, we are trying to develop a human augmented cognition system that aims to provide the appropriate information actively corresponding to what user intents to do. In this paper, we mainly address the...
This paper presents a state space model for a multiperson ensemble and an estimation method of the onset timings, tempos, and leaders. In a multiperson ensemble, determining one explicit leader is difficult because (1) participants' rhythms are mutually influenced and (2) they compete with each other. Most ensemble studies however assumed that one leader exists at a time and the others just follow...
The paper tries to propose objectively existing hierarchy of control levels in Central Nervous System(CNS), based on already accomplished medical research results on Homo sapiens, i. e. Homo sapiens - sapiens CNS as well as the theory of control and the science of neural networks. Human CNS has been vague until 60 years ago. Although, there were intensive researches in the last 30 years worldwide,...
Spam calls irritate people a lot. Many methods have been proposed to filter spam calls under different backgrounds. Regarding the sociology and psychology as a guide, we tried to propose a reputation model that can work in most backgrounds. In this paper, we proposed a reputation model based on trusted group and interaction scene, and then simulate the system and analysis the results. It appears a...
This paper presents results related to a new design approach dedicated to cognitive system strategies. The scenario concerning a robot integrated in a cognitive system is described. The paper focuses on the development of a pattern of human knowledge and on a new data structure which are able to organize and manipulate the involved information. The definitions of signatures and of signature classes...
This paper investigates the applicability of a mixed effects model in predicting Quality of Experience (QoE) in World Wide Web based multi-media services. An analysis is presented on objective factors and a human factor that may impact on outcomes of observations as fixed effects, population mean, and random effects, group specific, and account for a correlation structure of variations amongst users...
The concept of a bipolar query, meant as a database query that involves both mandatory and optional conditions, is discussed from the point of view of, first, flexible database querying and, second, some newer approaches to decision making involving affects and judgments, unconventional multicriteria decision making and the modeling of sophisticated user's intentions and preferences of a positive...
This study aimed to explore the interaction effect of psychological capital and job satisfaction on performance. Then the concept psychological capital of positive psychology and job satisfaction was used in conceiving a model which was about the moderate effect of psychological capital on performance. An experimental design between subjects was conducted with 321 IT employees. The indications of...
