　View Summary

Video sharing websites have spread throughout the world. There are logical comments and emotional comments for video sharing website. If an input process is complex and difficult, emotional comments will be difficult to submit. We have developed a video sharing system named as "Onion", which have a text comment function and a pictogram comment function. The system has an emotional comment input function for a pictogram comment function and an emotional sharing function for viewers. The emotional comment input function consists of a scroll wheel of a mouse and pictograms. We have experimented using the system. The results of experiment, we got 738 views, 1,806 pictograph comments and 108 text comments on experiment. The ratio of the text comment is the same as before and the ratio of the pictogram is large. We confirmed the utility of the system.

小型 PC 上で絵文字のみでチャットを行う，絵文字チャットコミュニケータを開発し，異なる母国語を持つ人同士のコミュニケーションの支援に適用してきた．本システムは 550 個の絵文字と絵文字を探しやすくするための履歴機能等を持つ．これまで海外 4 ヶ所 （米国 （2 ヶ所），ベトナム，ポルトガル） で適用実験をおこなった．これらの実験から得られた日本人と外国人の実験結果を比較する．We had developed a pictograph chat communicator on PCs. The system used 550 pictographs to communicate each other. We added the history function to the system as a supporting function. The system had been applied to the communication between the people of the different language outside of Japan four times (U.S.A (two times), Vietnam and Portugal). We compare the results of experiments between Japanese and non-Japanese.

　View Summary

The Pictograph Chat Communicator III is a modified version of the conventional system, where pictograph selection and the taxonomy of pictographs were taken a closer look. We added new pictographs (subjects, verbs, adjectives, 5W1H, symbols, and alphabets) and deleted unnecessary pictographs. We also changed the taxonomy of pictographs. Experiments were carried out 9 times in international conference halls of America, Vietnam, and Portugal, between people who do not share the same spoken language (or native language). As a result, the level of understanding is 91.1%. We supposed that pictograph communication was enough in the ice-breaking communications.

Repetition of Dialogue Atmosphere Using Characters Based on Face-to-Face Dialogue

KNOWLEDGE-BASED AND INTELLIGENT INFORMATION AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, PT III  2010   SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN

　View Summary

In this article; we at the relationships between nonverbal expressions and atmospheres during face-to-face dialogue by persons aiming to apply to an information character. Information characters provide information to viewers through their dialogue to get a better understanding. the way which information is shown through an embodied characters' dialogue is adopted; the characters have the faces and bodies in order to be "embodied", so, the information provider must care about meanings of a state of nonverbal expressions displayed by the embodied characters. People also display and exchange nonverbal expressions including eye-gazes; noddings, and facial expressions in daily conversation. Nonverbal expressions convey various kinds of information that is essential to make our face-to-face communication successful. In the previous work on social psychology, it is known that there are interdependences among nonverbal expressions between those from different persons in conversation with each other. We investigate dialogue scenes of TV shows to convey information; with a goal of applying above knowledges to a dialogue between embodied characters, which provide information to risers.

　View Summary

Web ベース発想一貫支援システム GUNGEN-SPIRAL II を開発した．本システムはアイデアの収集および共有，発想法に至るまで知の循環を支援するものである．適用実験の結果，メールによるアイデアの登録は使いやすく，発想法においては，共有画面と音声のみのコミュニケーションでも十分に作業が行えることがわかった．また，iPhone でも従属的な形で発想法に参加できることがわかった．We have developed the GUNGEN-SPIRAL II, which system supports the process of idea generation consistently. That is, the system supports the idea collection step, idea sharing step, and the idea generation step. The results of an experiment suggested that the input method by the mail was easy to use and the communication method by the shared screen and Skype were efficiently in the idea generation step. The iPhone was effective for the dependent participation of the idea generation.

Pictograph Communication using Table Top Interface

情報処理学会研究報告. GN, [グループウェアとネットワークサービス]  2009.05.21   情報処理学会

　View Summary

海外を旅行する日本人，また日本を旅行する外国人が増加し，外国人とコミュニケーションをとる機会が増えた．絵文字の解釈はほぼ世界共通である．そこで観光案内所での利用を想定し，簡単に写真を絵文字として追加でき，テーブルトップインタフェースを用いて操作が容易な対面型絵文字チャットシステムを開発した．実験の結果，写真を絵文字として使うとチャット内容の理解度が向上する傾向にあった．The Japanese who traveled in the foreign countries or the foreigners who traveled in Japan increased, and opportunities to regard communication as a foreigner increased. The interpretation of the pictograph is approximately common through the world. We have developed a meeting type pictograph chat system that we assume to use at the tourist information center. The system can easily add a photograph as a pictograph, and use a table- top interface for easy operation. The understanding degree of chat contents tended to improve when we used the photograph as a pictograph.

IPSJ SIG Notes  2009.03.11   Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)

　View Summary

We have developed an exertainment system, named the Remote Kenken. The results of the experiments showed that 1) A sense making "hopping" is very really high comparing with a simulation software. 2) Around 40 seconds were judged to be appropriate in the play time. 3) The pulse rose after an experiment. The subject got the sense of fulfillment after the exercise. 4) The system got high evaluation that it displayed a victory or defeat result with the partner.

IPSJ SIG Notes  2009.01.15   Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)

　View Summary

We have developed a pictograph chat communicator, named the Pictograph Chat Communicator II. The system has been applied to the communication between the people of the different language. The Pictograph Chat Communicator II has over 500 pictographs and has a log function for searching pictographs easily. On the basis of a past application result, we changed the pictographs and it's grouping. We carried out experiments of chats outside of Japan (U.S.A). The experiments were carried out 6 times. We report the results of the experiments as below. 1) The average understanding level was 84%, which value is the same as the former system. 2) New pictographs (subject, adjective, 5W1H, the alphabet), which were added to the experiment, were used 44% of whole pictographs in chats. 3) The average of chat lines was 2.3, which value was as twice as the former system.

Proposal of an Idea Generation Support System Using Direct Manipulation on a Tabletop Interface

OHASHI Makoto, ITOU Junko, MUNEMORI Jun

IPSJ SIG Notes  2008.11.06   Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)

　View Summary

There have been many computerized KJ method support system, which support KJ method on computers. We had developed and applied a computerized KJ method support system, which used the Lumisight-Table. The results of the experiment indicated that the system reduced the working time and increased the numbers of remarks. But the size of working area of the system is somewhat narrow. The system seemed to be inefficient for the working of the long time and seemed to have some problem about operability. Therefore, we have developed an idea generation support system, which used direct manipulation on a tabletop interface(DiamondTouch-Table). We applied the system for experiments and evaluated it.

IPSJ SIG Notes  2008.09.18   Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ)

　View Summary

We have developed a shared animation site with a pictograph comment function. The communication that is more progressive than the comment input by the conventional text only is enabled when we use pictographs. We used this system for a proof experiment for the student and showed the effectiveness of this system.
