健康のための運動としてウォーキングを行う人とその継続を支援するサービスが増加している．しかし，それらのサービスはウォーキングの単調さと同じコースに飽きてしまうという問題を解決できていない．本研究では，ユーザに合った無理のない運動を提供できる，タブレット端末で使用するシステムを開発した．まず，GPSの位置情報をもとに特定の場所でウォーキング中に運動を提示することで楽しさや面白さを与える．また，心拍数をリアルタイムに取得し，それをフィードバックすることによって提示する運動を変更し，運動中の心拍数の上がり過ぎによる過負荷を防ぐ．The support service of walking and its continuity have been increased. There existed problem of monotony of the walking and couses. But existing services could not solve the problem. We have developed a tablet-PC based system that provides reasonable exercise for users. The system presents an exercise at a specific place. Position information of the place is come from a GPS. This function may give pleasure and fun. The heart rate is measured real-timely. The data can change the presentation of kinds of exercise. This mechanism prevents the overload by exercise, which is caused by rising of the heart rate.

　View Summary

We discussed supporting idea generation methods for effective knowledge creation under restriction of time, place and human resources occurred in recent organizations. We have developed a flexible workspace expansion system for idea generation G-Pad with connecting or separating multiple tablet devices, by improving the idea generation support system GUNGEN-SPIRAL II. By experiments with 60 data KJ method, we showed the usability with two tablet devices was significantly higher than that with one device, although there was no significant difference of the KJ result between them. We also observed the user behavior with connected or separated use of two tablet devices as the situation demands. These results showed the effectiveness of G-Pad.

　View Summary

To investigate how the use of photographs affects creativity, we have developed a system called GUNGEN-PHOTO, in which photographs are used to support idea generation. It consists of a collaborative workspace and personal workspaces and includes two main functions: photograph expansion for effectively extracting ideas from photographs, and outside comment addition for adding comments from personal workspaces. These functions are expected to increase the number of ideas generated. We conducted experiments on idea generation under the themes of "improvement" and "discovery, " and found that more ideas were generated when photographs were used than when only text was used. We also found there were no significant differences in the quality of generated group between them.
